"En la forêt de Longue Attente"… ou six promenades dans les bois des Nabis et d’ailleurs

Author(s): Andreea Apostu / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2012

This paper aims to retrace the manifold, often contradictory meanings underlying the works of the Nabis – an almost esoteric group of French artists which emerged near the end of the 19th century. Their primary sources of inspiration were, following in Baudelaire’s footsteps, remote in both space (Japanese art) and time (Medieval art). I shall attempt to analyse the manner in which several artists of this group use the medieval ambivalence of the forest in their paintings, as well as try to determine whether any major semantic shifts ensue in their treatment of this widespread imaginary topos. The paper’s main thesis is that this ambivalence is adapted to the intrinsic modernist tension between a feeling of despair, coupled with the anxiety of being faced with the positivist, essentially rationalistic explanation of existence, and an enormous desire to transform the world, so that it no longer opposes the Self.

"Svatovska groblja” - problemi istraživanja

Author(s): Vlajko Palavestra / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 30/1997

The term “Wedding party cemeteries” in oral tales and epic from Bosnia and Herzegovina describes deserted, unknown old cemeteries or certain tomb stones, mainly stone ones, for which people do not remember the time of their erection nor the deceased which were buried there. The oral tales about ’’wedding party cemeteries” tell that those are graves of Wedding party participants who met there a long time ago, and according to the old custom, fought with each other and lost their lives. In reality, in most cases these are medieval necropolis from 14th - 15th century, or some small Muslim village cemeteries from different periods of the Ottoman Empire. ’’Wedding party cemeteries” and oral tales about them can be found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as other territories in Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia and some parts of Croatia.

"Viri fideles". Methodological Aspects of a Medieval Personal Network

Author(s): Péter Báling / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2017

In diesem Aufsatz sollen die unterschiedlichen Methoden aufgezeigt werden, mit denen die neapolitanischen Anjou einen Unterstützerkreis in Ungarn etablieren und so ihre Ansprüche auf den ungarischen Thron geltend machen wollten. Als der junge Caroberto – später als Karl I. König von Ungarn – im Jahre 1300 in Split eintraf, regierte in Ungarn der rechtmäßige König Andreas III. Split, die dalmatinische Küste und Kroatien wurden von der mächtigen Familie Šubići unter deren Ban Paul kontrolliert. Vor der Ankunft des jungen Thronanwärters versuchten beide Parteien, d. h. die Anjou und die Árpáden, sich der Loyalität des Ban zu versichern. Die Studie präsentiert die wichtigsten zeitgenössischen Quellen und vergleicht die unterschiedlichen Vorgehensweisen der konkurrierenden Familien. Die Vergabe von Ländereien und Titeln war eine damals übliche Praxis zur Sicherung von Loyalität, und beide Parteien nutzten diese Methode mit großem Erfolg. Obwohl der Hof der Anjou in Neapel über keine wirkliche Macht in Ungarn verfügte und deren Schenkungen somit nur nominell sein konnten, blieben die Šubići Karls Anliegen gegenüber loyal. Der ungarischen Historiografie zufolge führten hauptsächlich die räumliche Nähe und die engen wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen dazu, dass der Ban an der Seite der Anjou blieb. Diese Feststellung kann jedoch ausgedehnt werden auf das personelle Netzwerk Karls II. von Anjou, König von Sizilien und Großvater Carobertos, den er bei dessen Ansprüchen auf den ungarischen Thron maßgeblich unterstützte. Die Šubići und die Anjou hatten zu dieser Zeit bereits langjährige Beziehungen unterhalten. Die Quellen belegen, dass der Ban, seine Verwandten und deren Gesandten Neapel häufig besucht und sich so aufgrund persönlicher Bekanntschaft enge Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Familien entwickelt haben.

"Наполеоновская египтология": специфика формирования представлений о египетской культуре в Европе начала XIX века

Author(s): Evgenii Aleksandrovich Chiglintsev,Natalja Anatolevna Shadrina,G. Yu. Artyukh / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2022

This article discusses how the views about the heritage of Egyptian culture were shaped in the minds of the European participants of Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign. The origins of European Egyptology are considered. The extensive contribution of the Arab-Islamic culture of Egypt, which retained both the archaic traces of ancient Egypt and the traditions of Hellenistic and Christian Egypt, into this process is analyzed. The term “Napoleonic Egyptology” is introduced. We defined it as a system of authentic written and visual sources that had a major influence on the initial perception of the ancient Egyptian culture and became the basis of subsequent Egyptological studies carried out by special institutions and destined to help Europeans to have a better understanding of the value of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Of particular interest is how the cultural layers of Egyptian culture of that time either stood out or merged in the image of the East that was developed by the Europeans who took part in the Egyptian campaign. It is emphasized that scholars who accompanied Napoleon’s troops had no idea of any connection between the ancient (Egyptian) and modern (Islamic) components of the regional culture. This hypothesis is substantiated by the structure of the book “Description of Egypt” with its separate volumes devoted to Egyptian antiquities and the Islamic Egypt. In this work, the images of ancient Egypt and modern East are parallel. The idea largely underpinned the evolution of European studies of the ancient Egyptian civilization.

(Pseudo-)Basilian Rules for Monks in Late Medieval Bulgaria. A Few Remarks on a Bulgarian Nomocanon from the End of the 14th Century

Author(s): Jan Mikołaj Wolski / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2012

The object of research is a manuscript № 1160, stored in the Church-Historical and Archival Institute in Sofia. Written at the end of the 14th century, it contains texts by ecclesiastical and secular law and didactic stories, among them works of (Pseudo-) Basil of Caesarea: excerpts from letters to Amphilochius, penances from Epitimias in monachos deliquentes and Epitimias in canonicas, and others, a fragment of the Constitutiones asceticae and two short parenetic texts for monks. Some of the texts signed with the name of Cappadocia saint still have no original Greek or Slavic parallels. The legacy of (pseudo) Basil of Caesarea in medieval Bulgaria requires further research.

100 godina Franjevačke teologije u Sarajevu 1909.-2009.

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian

Franjevačka teologija je u povodu stotinu godina svoga postojanja i djelovanja u Sarajevu (1909-2009) organizirala znanstveni skup i proslavu pod naslovom 100 godina Franjevačke teologije u Sarajevu: 1909.-2009. Znanstveni skup je održan 6. i 7. studenog 2009. u amfiteatru Franjevačke teologije, a 8. studenog – na dan blaženog Ivana Duns Škota, zaštitnika naše Teologije – održana je proslava tako što je svećeničkom euharistijskom slavlju predsjedao provincijal Bosne Srebrene fra Lovro Gavran. Za vrijeme euharistijskog slavlja izvedena je Missa Bosniensis Andrije Pavliča: Bosanska misa posvećena sv. Franji Asiškom, svim nesretnima, ispaćenima i izgubljenima ovoga svijeta, te bosanskim franjevcima i zboru Pontanima, koji je izveo misu. Zbor Pontanima je osnovao profesor naše Teologije fra Ivo Marković. Dirigirao je skladatelj Bosanske mise Andrija Pavlič (inače je dirigent zbora Pontanima Josip Katavić). Sudjelovali su Amila Bakšić, sopran; Zana Staniškovska, alt; Jasmin Bašić, tenor; Ivica Šarić, bas; i Dario Vučić, orgulje. Pokrovitelj Znanstvenog skupa i proslave je bio Željko Komšić, predsjedavajući Predsjedništva BiH. Koji je smisao Franjevačke teologije i uopće koji je smisao franjevačke škole mišljenja od srednjeg vijeka pa do danas? Evo kratkog odgovora. Franjevci, koji su bili nadareni za filozofsko i teološko mišljenje, nastojali su veličanstvenu viziju Franje Asiškog filozofski i teološko razraditi. Vizija Franje Asiškog, koja se temelji na Isusovu evanđelju, naglašava bratstvo i sestrinstvo svih ljudi, ne samo svih ljudi, nego i svih bića, to jest svih Božjih stvorenja u svemiru. Sva bića u svemiru su braća i sestre po stvorenosti. Jednakost među bićima uključuje i razliku među bićima, jer je svako biće originalno. I samo različita bića mogu biti u jedinstvu. Tom vizijom i njezinim prakticiranjem u svom životu Franjo Asiški je ponudio alternativu svijetu mržnje i nasilja, u kojem i danas živimo. To je on rekao svojom poznatom rečenicom koja glasi: “Exivi de saeculo” - “Izašao sam iz svijeta nasilja.” Izašao je iz svijeta nasilja i počeo osnivati svijet mira. Zadaća svih odgovornih bića jest izlazak iz svijeta nasilja i uspostavljanje svijeta mira, slobode i ljubavi. Zamislimo svijet bez nasilja i zamislimo svijet u kojem nasilje više neće biti moguće. Koliko su veliki franjevački mislioci tu viziju uspješno razradili i koliko su franjevci Bosne Srebrene, koji su živjeli i djelovali na Franjevačkoj teologiji, to mišlju i djelom svjedočili, to jest otjelotvorili, neka prosude drugi. U radovima sa znanstvenog skupa, koji se ovdje objavljuju, autori su obrađivali važne teme iz različitih perspektiva, pri čemu se moglo uvidjeti da je do Istine moguće doći samo dijalogom različitih perspektiva. Dijalogom uviđamo da je Istina jedna i da nas Istina sve nadilazi i povezuje u jednu zajednicu, ne samo nas, nego i cijelo čovječanstvo. Karl Jaspers je rekao: Istina je ono što nas povezuje (Wahrheit ist, was uns verbindet).

The paper deals with a new reading of a lapidary inscription attributed to the Theodore, concerning construction of the Liparitisubani church. Significant correction has been introduced into the text.Until this day, Georgian historiography (A. Bakradze, E. Kochlamazashvili, Z.

According to one part of Scientists(G. Otkhmezuri) founder of church was Theodore Iodomisdze. Our study has shown that the inscription must be read in a different way: The church of Liparitisubani was built in 1189-1207 by Theodore Ghodomisdze.

500-letnia rocznica unii horodelskiej 1413 roku. Między kulturą polityczną a pamięcią historyczną

Author(s): Jūratė Kiaupienė / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2014

The authoress of the present article has embarked on the task of presenting the different views with regard to the Union of Horodlo of 1413, as presented in the Polish and Lithuanian press articles on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of this union. Moreover she has tried to find an answer to a few fundamental questions concerning the formation of the historical memory of the Poles and Lithuanians at the threshold of the restoration of their statehood. The questions concern, among others, the reasons for the differences in the evaluation of the Union of Horodlo between the Poles and Lithuanians, the moment when the memory of the Union began to take on a different shape and the links between historical memory and political culture. On the basis of examples derived from the Polish and Lithuanian press of 1913, the authoress proves that despite the many years of the Polish-Lithuanian union, a real rapprochement between the two states and societies did not take place, neither in the 15th century, not later, until the very end of the existence of the Commonwealth of Both Nations. The Polish interpretation of the union which was negotiated in Horodło in 1413 was unacceptable to a modern Lithuanian nation. Both sides, that is the representatives of the Polish and the Lithuanian nations had used the celebrations associated with the 500th anniversary of the Union of Horodło to formulate and propagate their most important goal – that is to restore their statehood and in order to achieve this goal, they were ready to subordinate their historical memory. But it is important not to forget that we are dealing with a specific kind of historical memory which is targeted and focused above all on the future.

568 – A HISTORICAL DATE AND ITS ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES

Author(s): István Koncz / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

Written sources reveal that a political power shift and an excessive change of population took place in Pannonia in 568. Archaeological data suggest, however, coexsistence between communities different origins despite the community level realignment of society. The author would like to highlight some neglected examples that could provide details of vital importance for the topic and connect it to well known sites, all too often having complex and unclear interpretations. Continuity is analysed through the last phase of Langobard Period cemeteries, presuming that they were still in use during the last third of the 6th century, and through the early phase of Avar Period cemeteries, as their connection networks are the same: an intensive interaction with the western Merovingian and the Mediterranean world. This connection is evident in certain arte fact types (belts, weapons, brooches) and in attireas a whole as well.

8th-10th century hillforts in the Sudetes – exploring current state of research and observations, towards new horizons

Author(s): Ewa Lisowska,Krzysztof Jaworski / Language(s): English Issue: 56/2021

The article presents the latest results of archaeological studies on the 8th-10th century hillforts in the Sudetes. The authors present previously unknown structures, found through the analysis of aerial scans using the ALS method. Excavation and office studies conducted since 2005 in the Sudetes also allowed for correcting the chronology of some previously known hillfort sites. The article also presents a discussion on the structures referred to as ‘quasi-hillforts’ and those considered to be destroyed. The findings are concluded by a summary of changes in the archaeological research of the early medieval Sudetes over the last 15 years, i.e. since the publication of the last monograph devoted to hillforts in this part of Central Europe.
