ГРАНИЦИТЕ НА БЪЛГАРСКОТО И БЪЛГАРСКАТА ИДЕНТИЧНОСТ В СЪТРУДНИЧЕСТВОТО МЕЖДУ КОНСТАНТИН ФОТИНОВ И ИЛАЙЪС РИГС. ТЕМАТА ЗА АМЕРИКА И БЪЛГАРИЯ ПРЕЗ ОПТИКАТА НА ВЪЗРАЖДАНЕТО

Author(s): Daniela Belichovska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 20/2021

The theme of America and American reality during the Bulgarian National Revival is present in many of our textbooks, in our journalism, in separate books. Bulgarians during this period were very impressed by the accelerated development in the American Republic. The close relationship and professional cooperation between the American missionaries and our key Bulgarian Revival leaders, on the one hand, strengthens and affirms (gives a stronger foundation) our Bulgarian traditional identity. On the other hand, it rethinks and reformats the boundaries of the Bulgarian. These processes could be identified in the relationship between Bulgarian Revival leaders and American missionaries, and in particular between Konstantin Fotinov and Elias Riggs.

ЕКСПЕРТИЗА НА ЙЕРУСАЛИМИЯ ОТ ФОНДОВЕТЕ НА ИСТОРИЧЕСКИ МУЗЕЙ – САМОКОВ

Author(s): Rositsa Manova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 20/2021

The article contains new findings about the developments in Bulgarian iconography at the end of the 19th century. Based on in-depth analysis of Jerusalemite icon kept in Samokov History Museum’s repository, the article defends the hypothesis that this type of icons, which previously were brought to Bulgaria only by pilgrims to the Holy Land, had already been painted by Bulgarian masters in the late 19th century. The text examines the style, scenes depiction, materials and the technologies of the recovered Jerusalemite icon. In addition, the article compares the iconographic guidelines from the heremia of Ditcho Zograph and of Zahari Petrovich. Finally, the discovered artifact is described as belonging to the Bulgarian cultural heritage.

Ludwik Dobija (1873-1944) – niezwykłe losy posła z Galicji

Urzędnicy braniewscy w średniowieczu i epoce nowożytnej (do 1772 r.). Uwagi na marginesie spisów opracowanych przez Danutę Bogdan i Jerzego Przerackiego

Author(s): Radosław Krajniak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 82/2021

The aim of the paper is to provide a critical assessment of the registries of town clerks in the Old Town and New Town of Braniewo (until 1772) compiled by Danuta Bogdan and Jerzy Przeracki. With all due respect given to the Authors and the effort they put into the project, the article points to some omissions and a number of errors and inconsistencies of varying importance and nature. A lot of attention is paid to relatively frequent disparities between the material collected in annual lists and the data compiled in the name index.

Duchowni z monarchii polsko-litewskiej wyświęceni w Rzymie w latach 1430-1521

Author(s): Marek Daniel Kowalski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 87/2021

In the 15th century matters related to conferring ordinances to clerics from all over Europe at the Roman Curia belonged to the Apostolic Camera. The most important collection of Papal sources dealing with ordinances consists of 14 manuscripts from the series Libri formatarum, emracing the period 1425-1524. The paper discusses the contents of those books and provides the full catalogue of clergymen from the Polish-Lithuanian monarchy ordained at the Curia and recorded in the Libri formatarum.

From an Empire to a Nation State: Land Property and its Guarantee in the Balkans. The Case of Bulgaria

Author(s): Pencho D. Penchev,Hristiyan Atanasov / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2022

The article makes a comparative analysis of the status of land property in the Ottoman Empire (within the period from 1839 to 1878) and Bulgaria after the Liberation (1879–1912). The findings indicate significant discrepancies. While in the Ottoman Empire land property (rakaba) ideally belongs to the state, in practice the immediate agricultural producer feels a full-right owner and landlord, according to the traditional understanding of private property law. The owners’ rights are protected by a high-class procedure on issuing land ownership documents, cadaster starts to be kept (in the 1860s) and practically there is no data of social tension concerning the land status and property ownership – the state manages to cover and protect it. Contrary to this, in the Principality of Bulgaria, the newly introduced Constitution guarantees private land ownership but in practice the state administration cannot provide for it. Due to this fact, there is a lot of information on infringement and insecurity in land ownership.

“GREEK” MERCHANTS FROM LATE MEDIEVAL MOLDAVIA: A STUDY OF URBAN SOCIAL GEOGRAPHY APPLIED TO THE TOWN OF IAȘI

Author(s): Laurențiu Rădvan / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

In this study I look into the behavioral pattern of the “Greek” merchants who came to Moldavia and settled in its capital, the town of Iași. The merchants were attracted by its geographical position: at the crossroad connecting centres in Transylvania or the Danube, ports of the Black Sea and towns of Poland. Because they dealt with regional trade for various merchandise, the merchants chose to invest in land, houses, stores and cellars located in the most relevant streets within the two commercial cores of the town, where they shared the space with many craftsmen, boyars but also monasteries. Whereas they represented an economic force and had money, some merchants made efforts to become boyars by purchasing villages and obtaining offices. Others chose to stay loyal to the urban world, and kept their properties across several generations and maintained their line of business. It was, thus, a very dynamic and ever-changing society, which allowed an easier transition from the structures specific to the late medieval world to the ones of modernity.

PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY ESKI ZAĞRA (STARA ZAGORA)

Author(s): Elmira Vasileva / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Protestant religious mission in nineteenth-century Eski Zağra was carried out by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, whose station in the town functioned between 1859 and 1877. The mission objective was spiritual reformation of the Bulgarians and the means used by the missionaries in the town included, together with preaching, educational and publication activities. Very important initiative was the organization of a girls’ school, which generated some interest among town people. But most of the missionaries’ efforts met opposition or at least indifference. Although the Americans did not achieve any considerable religious success, they had some wider cultural influence in nineteenth-century Eski Zağra.

Însemnările de pe cărţile bisericeşti – valori culturale, literare şi istorice

Author(s): Duşiţa Ristin / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2011

This article is meant to discuss the cultural, literary and historical values of the recorded notes that could be found on the church books from Banat area in the medieval and modern age. These recorded notes are relevant in describing the identity of Romanian and Serbia communities, pointing out their religious and everyday life. They extended and took the shape of the “local chronicles and histories” in the second part of the XIXth century.

Activitatea parohială și consângenitatea familiei preoțești Pop-Bociat din Clopotiva secolului al XIX-lea

Author(s): Cosmin Panturu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 12/2021

The township of Clopotiva from Hațeg County benefited from two complex studies on village life, completed in the first half of the 20th Century, under the auspice of the Romanian Academy, titled: Clopotiva: a village from Hațeg, two volumes published in 1940, in Bucharest, under the supervision of Ion Conea; together with: Anthropological Research in Hațeg Country: Clopotiva, A Monography, published in Bucharest, 1958, under advisement from Șt. M. Milcu and Horia Dumitrescu. These are references to places, habits, traditions, and family genealogies during that period, also recalling some particulars of the religious life up to that point in time.In that community there was a traditional medieval stone church. At the middle of the 16th Century, the edifice was taken over by the reformist church. However, disputes between Calvinist “Magyar Nemeși” [refers to Hungarian (Magyar) nobility] and the orthodox village congregation (latterly, The United Church) were avoided by switching ownership back and forth until the year 1759, when there was a canonic visit by bishop Petru Pavel Aron. The edifice no longer served its religious function, and was demolished in 1860, while a Calvinist church was built the same year, which was transferred to the Orthodox Church in 1957, under the protection of Pious Saint Paraskeva. Romanians were compensated for the donated edifice through a land donation from the reformed vice-chairman Pogány Iános. On that land, the present-day church was built between 1768-1770, dedicated to St. John The Baptizer, under the shepherding of united priest Ioan Popa. The church turned orthodox after 1948.This paper aims to face readers with the parochial activity in the same location - this time during the 19th Century - focusing on the Pop-Bociat religious family, which managed to leave a significant imprint (spiritual and material) on the shepherded religious community. Using novel published documents from various national archives, it was possible to recreate the blood relationship between clerics Mihail and Avel Pop-Bociat, the latter promoted parish priest in Grădiște (Sarmizegetusa) and dean of Ulpia Traiana.Of course, this presented study can be continued with dates lost in other archives, patiently waiting to be of a use which can be an enhancement - either by confirming, or contradicting hereby presentation.
