Unter den spärlichen Nachrichten, die uns über die ältere Geschichte der Juden in Böhmen erhalten sind, ist eine besonders merkwürdig: dass im 12. Jahrhundert zur Zeit des Herzogs Wladislaws I. (1109—25) ein Jude namens Jacob das höchste Amt im Lande, das Amt eines Vicedominus erlangt habe, weil er mit dem Teufel verbündet gewesen sei. Getauft und dann wieder vom Christentum abgefallen, habe er im Jahre 1124 ein schweres Verbrechen begangen, indem er eines Nachts den (christlichen) Altar in der jüdischen Synagoge zertrümmerte und die darin verwahrten Reliquien verunehrte. Darauf sei er am 22. Juli verhaftet und sein Vermögen eingezogen worden. Um ihn vom Tode zu retten, hätten die Juden eine große Summe als Lösegeld erlegt, worauf der Herzog alle christlichen Sklaven von den Juden loskaufte und ein Verbot erließ, dass in Zukunft nie wieder ein Christ bei Juden dienen dürfe.

György Haraszti is an outstanding member of the middle-aged generation of historians. The articles in this book investigate the milestones along the symbiotic process of co-existence of Jews and Hungarians during the 1000 years of Hungarian history. This collection contains his writings of the last ten years on the shared Jewish-Hungarian history. He draws on the latest findings of Hungarian and international historical research, and he also takes a new approach to 18th-century Jewish migration into Hungary, the social structure of Hungarian Jewry in 1848, and the question of the much-debated migration from Galicia. The closing essay surveys the problems of Hungarian-Jewish history writing.

Tsar Peter (927-969), the book’s protagonist, is all too frequently presented in modern scholarship as a weak ruler, devoid of any grander political aspirations, focused on religious matters, indeed – pious, but neglecting the vital interests of his subjects. It was said that during his reign both his court and state became Byzantinised, that the central authority was completely helpless in the face of Hungarian raids, and saw the spread of the Bogomilist heresy. According to the Tsar’s critics, it was as a result of his ineffectual rule that Boris II, his son and successor, was unable to defend Bulgaria’s sovereignty in 971.This book – the first monograph in world literature devoted to Peter - was written by Bulgarian (Miliana Kaymakamova, Georgi N. Nikolov, Angel Nikolov, Nikolay Hrissimov) and Polish medievalists (Miroslaw J. Leszka, Kirił Marinow, Zofia A. Brzozowska Jan M. Wolski). Thanks to a thorough analysis of the sources and an in-depth knowledge of the literature of the subject, they constructed a comprehensive and balanced image of the reign of their protagonist, and of the role he played in the history of mediaeval Bulgaria.

This volume has been prepared quickly, smoothly and cheerfully. This is, perhaps, because it is dedicated to the 70th birthday anniversary of a person who is always cheerful himself, an archaeologist, zealous and lucky researcher, a radiant personality and a very kind man, as well as a wonderful colleague and true friend of all good people – Nicolai Telnov.His journey in science has been long and fruitful: from Belgorod to Bucovina, from the Crimea to the Carpathians; expeditions and field surveys, libraries and museums; with shovel and satchel; with fantastic patience and sensational results, with vast experience and rich knowledge ready to share with his colleagues and disciples. Telnov’s realm is Tripolye and Scythians, Dacians and Slavs, medieval nomads and the old letters of the sad Lay of Igor’s Warfare. His inquisitive mind knows no limits, and we will be more than glad if this volume can serve him and other readers as a trigger to follow the thorny path of science in search of new insights.

The publication discusses the extent to which the language of court books from Old Warsaw from the second half of the 15th century and the first half of the 16th century reflects the typical characteristics of Polish medieval Latin and to what extent the specific features of the given writer. The relation between Latin as the main language of those books and Polish and German interpolations is also a matter of the author’s interest.

The author portrays the relation between two problems of the medieval kingdom of France: the apocryphal 11th-century legend about Charlemagne bringing the Crown of Thorns to the kingdom of the Franks and its reception in 11th–13th century literature, and reconstructing the actual Capetian cult of relics. In the author’s opinion between the 11th and 13th century both phenomena of the spiritual culture of Capetian France were shaping the religious ideological foundations of the Capetian dynasty.

A cross-sectional look at the structure of medieval thinking, in particular considering its impact on historiography. The author shows, using among others the example of two medieval chronicles and their later reception, how in the Middle Ages the Augustinian attitude to dealing with sources (the absolutisation of first-hand testimony) turned into admitting the interference of reason, which laid the foundations for future historical studies.

The book has been dedicated to the reconstruction and analysis of the image of Byzantine emperors (from Theodosius II to Maurice) as seen in the sixth-century Byzantine historian Evagrius Scholasticus’s “Ecclesiastical history”. The author perceives the image of emperors as consisting both of their direct description (personality, virtues and vices, as well as their appearance etc.) and indirect depiction – extrapolated from their policies and events that took place during their reign, which could be treated by Evagrius as the result of their rule. The book is not only a rich source of our knowledge on Evagrius Scholasticus, his literary craft and inspirations, but it also constitutes an interesting panorama of the history of the eastern part of the Roman Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries. “When characterising the work, one more aspect of the research methodology should be mentioned. Kazimierz Ginter belongs to the generation of scholars who eagerly employ modern instruments of scientific work, thus enlarging the set of research tools for late antiquity. Analysing the written material, he opted for an instrument designed for identifying convergent points and specifying their provenance (via the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae project), which enabled him to establish links between the main source and other ancient and Byzantine texts. I am convinced that Kazimierz Ginter’s work . . . presenting Evagrius and his work from the new perspective deserves to be published.”

In 1931, the Serbian Royal Academy decided to open a new department for historical material from the Dalmatian archives in its "Proceedings for the History, Language and Literature of the Serbian People". Liber notariare, with material from 1336—1421, paid special attention to the Dubrovnik archives. age and diversity of material stands out in the first place among the archives in our country. // Just as Dubrovnik today attracts the attention of every traveler with its position and appearance, so its past is strange, very changeable and always interesting. Dubrovnik, like many other towns on the east coast of the Adriatic, developed near the end of a turbulent period of migration. Then the population of the old Epidaurus (Cavtat) took refuge in the inaccessible place of Dubrovnik, whose cliffs fall vertically into the sea, and which is protected on the dry side by the high hill of St. Srđa od Brgata. The Roman population of Dubrovnik was instructed from the first beginnings in navigation and trade, but very early it developed a lively action to expand its territory beyond the tame and fertile surroundings of Župa, Rijeka and Šumet. Thus, Romanesque Dubrovnik came into contact with the neighboring South Slavic tribes very early, and during the 10th, 11th and 12th centuries it developed safe and fast, while Latin remained the official language of the state and the church during the Middle Ages. // THIS VOLUME HAS BEEN PUBLISHED in 1934 by the SERBIAN ROYAL ACADEMY as Volume III, Book II of its series ЗБОРНИК. ИСТОРИЈУ, ЈВЗИК И КЊИЖЕВНОСТ СРПСКОГ НАРОДА (PROCEEDINGS. HISTORY, LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE OF THE SERBIAN PEOPLE).

The publication is devoted to the problem of creating the historical image of the prince Leszek Czarny from his times to the end of the 16th century. In two books by Bartosz Paprocki: “The Nest of Virtues” and “The Heraldic Arms of the Polish Knighthood”, Leszek Czarny was provided with an absolutely vital role, which the author of this book attempts to explain, showing the meanders of historiographical tradition. To this end, he tries to determine the hypothetical source that was created at the court of the prince ("Gesta Lestkonis") and analyses historiographical efforts of Jan Długosz and his original idea for the image of the ruler. The author also discusses the image of Piast’s relations with the municipality of Cracow, which played a significant part in the 16th-century tradition.

The medieval era was a fascinating time for almost all fields, including the juridical field. The historical and social context of this era marked the legal system by a series of particularities, both in terms of substantive and procedural law, but at the same time, they also left their mark on subsequent eras, to a greater or lesser extent. The analysis proposed in our study concerns, among other things, the way in which the medieval world understood how to regulate social values, establish rules of conduct and organize judicial procedure in relation to social classes and categories, but also the challenges brought about by this historical period.
