Максим Изповедник. Въведение в мисловната му система

Author(s): Georgi Kapriev / Language(s): Bulgarian

If there is an author with whom all the volumes of the dominant philosophical style in Byzantium can be covered at a high level, if we want to enter this style through the work of a single philosopher, his name without any doubt is Maximus the Confessor. In every aspect - in a meaningful, structural and methodological perspective - he should be regarded as the father of Byzantine philosophy and of Byzantine theology in general, so his significance for the East is comparable only to Augustine's importance for Western culture.

Datowania cmentarzy wczesnośredniowiecznych na ziemiach polskich: problemy wnioskowania

Author(s): Andrzej Buko / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The fundamental problem in the context of research on the origins of the Polish state is the moment of its emergence in the funeral rite of inhumation. Its reception, according to many researchers, is a material correlate of the beginnings of Christianity. The conventional caesura - after 966 - is marked here by the baptism date of Mieszko I, the first historical ruler of Poland. Unsettled the question remains whether and to what extent his subjects followed in the prince's footsteps and to whom in the first place this new funeral custom concerned. The author on selected examples taken from both contemporary and medieval observations cemeteries illustrates the complex issue of dating the oldest early medieval cemeteries in Poland Polish. At the same time, he draws attention to inference errors, especially when separating their initial phases. On this sub-pond states that the thesis according to which in humation appears on Polish lands only after the year 1000 requires a critical verification.

Podstawy datowania i początki najstarszej fazy cmentarzyska w Lubieniu

Author(s): Tomasz Kurasiński,Kalina Skóra / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The cemetery in Lubień belongs to the group of the oldest early medieval inhumation necropolises in Poland Central. According to the authors' findings, the cemetery in Lubień was established in the first quarter of the 11th century is important for considering the problem of the beginnings of inhumation in Poland at that time. Destruction of the central part of the establishment burial ground, which is also assumed to be the location of the first burials, seriously hinders drawing conclusions in a binding manner about its initial phase. The analysis of the archaeological material indicates that the time of the most intensive use of this place fell on the second half of 11th century, although members of the local community were buried there until the third quarter of the 12th century. Only the few products of material culture (numismatic items, earrings with a triangular bead, a ceramic vessel) allow us to wonder whether the cemetery was established at the end of the 10th century. New light on the beginnings of the necropolis and inhumation in this area may be shed by research biological material using absolute dating methods.

Faza inicjalna najstarszego cmentarza wczesnośredniowiecznego Sandomierza

Author(s): Marek Florek / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In the years 2013–2015, the oldest part of the skeletal cemetery, which functioned in the 11th century on the so-called Town Hill in Sandomierz. Some of the graves dated to the end of the 10th and/or the beginning of the 11th century are in form and applied funeral ritual similar to the so-called chamber graves. They contained above-standard, as for the conditions Lesser Poland, equipment (including clay pots, an axe, horseshoe clasps, a set for striking fire). Forms of graves and equipment suggest foreign origin of some of the deceased, which is also confirmed by the results of specialist analyses on the content of strontium isotopes. Noteworthy is the relatively large number of "eastern" elements in the equipment of the dead: an ax (axe), a key reused as a flint, horseshoe clasps, whorls. Taking into account the dating of the graves and their forms and equipment, it can be assumed that we are dealing with elite burials belonging to people whose at least some of them came to Sandomierz from outside, probably representing the Piast rule. They could have been newcomers from Wielkopolska, however, it cannot be ruled out that - especially in the case of the deceased from grave 9 - we are dealing with a Varangian - Rus in the service of one of the first two historical rulers of the Piast dynasty. These graves gave rise to it probably the oldest necropolis in Sandomierz, used by its inhabitants deep into the 11th century.

Cmentarzyska birytualne typu Bilczew i ich datowanie

Author(s): Katarzyna Schellner,Krzysztof Gorczyca / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In recent years, three biritual cemeteries described as the Bilczew type have been discovered in the vicinity of Konin: Bilczew, commune of Kramsk, commune loco, and Kwiatków, commune Brudzew. This group also includes one archival cemetery at Konin, commune loco, which requires new interpretation and reanalysis. These sites are of special significance because continuity in the use of the necropolis after a change of religion, and therefore of the funeral rite, has been recorded there. It is a phenomenon that has not been noted in Greater Poland so far. The text presents and discusses most fully the cemetery at Bilczew, as it is the best recognised and published necropolis of this type to date. As a result of the excavation works, the entire preserved part of the site was examined, revealing 102 early medieval pit cremation graves and 27 skeletal ones, as well as one undetermined pit. The other cemeteries of this type were examined only by digging test pits (Kramsk), or the results of their excavations were initially misinterpreted (Konin). The largest of the recently explored cemeteries of this type (Kwiatków), where 127 cremation graves, 143 skeletal graves and 10 cenotaphs were discovered, awaits study and publication.

Büyük Selçuklu İmparatorluğu Devrinde Sosyal Hayatın Temelleri

Author(s): Berna Karagözoğlu,Yaşar Bedirhan / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

The cultural, religious, social and state structure of each society is shaped according to its own traditions, customs and traditions. The dynamics that exist on the basis of the structures of societies are transferred to the next generation. Although changes are observed in social structures over time, societies differ from others with their dominant features. Turkish society has also come to the fore with its family structure, cultural life and state administration. Turks, who wanted to be a world state by expanding the borders of the state in every period of history, established their own order in the geographies they conquered. For centuries, studies on Turkish culture, family and state structure have been carried out by local and foreign researchers. It has brought researchers together in different periods of history with the vocabulary it contains in the Turkish language, which is the subject of dictionaries, divans and inscriptions. Our study consists of the analysis of frequently used words about the state, cultural life and social structure in the Great Seljuk period.

Konstantin Bağışı Sahtekârlığı ve Lorenzo Valla’nın İfşasına Dair

Author(s): Sayime Durmaz / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Donation of Constantine is the most famous and the most important forgery of the Middle Ages. The controversial text of the Donation was used by the papacy for over thousand of years to strengthen its position and power. According to the Vatican, before he died, Constantine made his will that the Roman Church was above all Eastern churches and authorized it with a document. It claims that Donation of Constantine to have been written in the VIIIth century. In January 754 Pope Stephen II went to Paris to seek assistance from King Pepin III to stop the attacks of Lombards. As a result of the agreement reached, in 756 Pepin gave a document providing a legal basis for the establishment of the Papal States, which extended the Pope's temporal sovereignty beyond the Duchy of Rome. This is the first time that the famous forgery came into existence in Rome. Constantine stated in this will that he was supposed to have resigned his crown and the empire into the hands of Pope Sylvester as compensation for having been cured of leprosy by the Pope. In other words, Constantine donated all his political power in the West to the popes. Thanks to the forged will, the papal authority gained a position above all states to be established on Western Roman territory. The Donation became a powerful weapon in the hand of medieval papacy and the basis of papal ideology.The Donation of Constantine was first questioned in the XIth century. Finally, Lorenzo Valla carried out a textual criticism and linguistic analysis of the document and prepared a report that proved indisputably that it was a forgery. This report was to be presented to the ecclesiastical council that held in Florence in 1440. However, Valla's scientific report was hidden from the council and published long after his death.The main purpose of the study is to investigate the Donation of Constantin as a historical document and make some discussion on it.

К ВОПРОСУ О ТЕХНОЛОГИИ МОНЕТНОГО ЛИТЬЯ В ВИЗАНТИЙСКОМ ХЕРСОНЕ

Author(s): K.K. Filippov / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

Меня заинтересовала монета, хранящаяся в собрании Амурского областного краеведческого музея им. Г.С. Новикова-Даурского. Речь идет о т.н. херсоновизантийской литой монете. Примечательно то, что она была изготовлена с использованием некачественной формы аверса, на которой были оттиснуты несколько изображений, наложенных друг на друга. Это обстоятельство дает возможность уверенно заключить, что монеты в византийском Херсоне лили в глиняных формах.

ВИЗАНТИЙСКИЕ ГИРЬКИ С АНОМАЛЬНО БОЛЬШИМ ВЕСОМ

Продолжаю изучение византийских гирек. В данный момент меня интересуют гирьки с аномально большим весом. В них принято видеть экзагии солидов. Хотя они весят значительно больше этих монет. Полагаю, что речь должна идти о региональных весовых единицах, вполне возможно, что кратных сиклю.

АНТИЧНАЯ ГИРЬКА ВЕСОМ В ПОЛОВИНУ СИКЛЯ

Столкнувшись с проблемой атрибуции аномально тяжелых византийских гирек, допустив, что их вес мог измеряться не только в драхмах, но и в сиклях, перехожу к изучению античных гирек, используемых в Леванте. Замечу, что в этом регионе вес измеряли не только в драхмах, но и в привычных местным жителям единицам. Так что есть все основания полагать, что это обстоятельство побудило последних использовать гирьки с весом, кратным сиклю и позже, в период существования Византийской империи.

ФАЛЬШИВЫЙ СОЛИД ЮСТИНИАНА I ИЗ КРЫМА

Author(s): V.K. Mizandari / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

Меня интересуют подражания византийским монетам. Недавно на сайте «Форум Нумизматики Крыма» мною был обнаружен очень интересный артефакт. Это фальшивый солид Юстиниана I. Полагаю, что это не реплика, а монета официального производства. Выпустили ее на официальном денежном дворе, в данном случае, Константинопольском. Предназначалась она, судя по обнаружению, для выплат варварскому населению Таврики. Причем она ценилась даже после разоблачения подделки. Судя по наличию отверстий, ее использовали как украшение.

ЕЩЕ ОДНА ГИРЬКА С ИУДЕЙСКОЙ СИМВОЛИКОЙ

Author(s): M. A. Shteyngof / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

Мое внимание привлекла весьма интересная, оригинально оформленная гирька. Единственным элементом ее оформления является небрежно прочерченная шестиконечная звезда. Никаких обозначений веса на нее не нанесли. И это не случайно. Такая гирька была нужна только в том регионе, в котором проживали люди, почитавший этот символ как культовый. Вернее всего, речь должна идти об Иудее. Гирька же могла быть изготовлена в тот период времени, когда эта страна входила в состав Византийской империи.

РАННЯЯ ЭКЗАГИЯ ЮЛИАНА ОТСТУПНИКА АНТИОХИЙСКОГО ЧЕКАНА

В поле моего зрения оказалась весьма интересная гирька для взвешивания солидов, изготовленная при Юлиане Отступнике на монетном дворе Антиохии. Она примечательна тем, что, во-первых, она именная, и, во-вторых, она декларирует справедливость императора. Гирька весит сейчас немного меньше норматива солида. Полагаю, что она предназначалась для взвешивания полновесных монет. Некоторая потеря веса произошла в результате износа поверхности гирьки.

ВИЗАНТИЙСКАЯ ЭКЗАГИЯ С ИУДЕЙСКОЙ СИМВОЛИКОЙ

Меня заинтересовала гирька с указанием на вес «Г Г» и с менорой вместо креста. Полагаю, что ее выпустили с санкции одной из еврейских общин Византии. Вполне возможно, что в Палестине. Допускаю, что гирька была изготовлена в период противостояния между Византией и Сасанидским Ираном при Ираклии и Хосрове II, а, точнее, в период оккупации персами Палестины.

ГЕКСАГРАММЫ – ВОЕННЫЕ ДЕНЬГИ РАННЕЙ ВИЗАНТИИ

Author(s): A. A. Davidkin / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

Мое внимание привлекли византийские серебряные монеты, выпускавшиеся в VII-VIII вв. Имею ввиду гексаграммы. Они были впервые отчеканены при императоре Ираклии (610-641) для оплаты военных расходов. Полагаю, что их чеканили не в столице, а на мобильных монетных дворах при действующих армиях. Так что не случайно эти монеты отчеканены не на кружках, а на расплющенных обрубках металла. Прекращение эмиссии гексаграмм может быть объяснено ослаблением натиска арабов на восточные границы империи, а также отказом от ополчения и становлением фемной системы.

К ВОПРОСУ О ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА «ТРЕХФИГУРНЫХ» ТАВРИЧЕСКИХ МОНЕТ

Одним из интереснейших группы вопросов, стоящих перед современными нумизматами - медиевистами, является изучение технологий монетного производства. К примеру, в эпоху средневековья монеты не только отливали и чеканили на заготовках. Крайне интересно то, что их чеканили на расплющенных обрубках проволоки. Полагаем, что эта технология могла быть задействована на периферийных, мобильных монетных дворах. Вполне возможно, что они обслуживали воинские части.
