Franjo Asiški: suvremenik za drugu politiku

Author(s): Peter Kammerer,Ekkehart Krippendorff,Wolf-Dieter Narr / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 36-37/2007

U vremenima velikih prijeloma i kriza, koja su nužno vremena nesigurnosti, kako to opažamo u 20. stoljeću i u upravo započetom 21. stoljeću, postavlja se pitanje o orijentaciji na “mjerodavne ljude“ (Karl Jaspers) drukčije nego u vremenima optimizma i očekivanja budućnosti, koja su sigurna u napredak: Pitanje postaje ozbiljnije, postaje egzistencijalno i ne ostaje samovoljno. Jaspersov spoznajni interes za Sokrata, Budu, Konfucija i Isusa ima svoje korijene u ovoj svijesti kriza i u potrebi za orijentacijom. Uskraćivanje priznanja neobičnog, posve drugog, koje razbija normu i normalnost, radikal - no novog, življenog protuslovlja svijetu (koje ide do korijena), takvom svijetu kakav on jest, a ipak takav ne smije biti, više je od rezignacije ili straha od velikih izazova. Ono negira “princip nadu“, antropološku temeljnu potrebu.

„Царске шаре црвене”: о заступљености и обрасцима употребе црвеног мастила у документима Немањића

Author(s): Nebojša Porčić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 53/2016

The paper discusses the presence and patterns of use of red ink in the documents of Serbian rulers belonging to the Nemanjid dynasty (cca 1170–1371). Adopted from Byzantium as a means of emphasizing the ruler’s immediate involvement in the creation of his documents, in Nemanjid usage this practice developed and permanently kept some characteristic traits, encompassing not only elements of royal representation, but also those whose purpose was text decoration and organization. With regard to the scope and forms in which it was applied, three distinct phases can be observed – the first covers the 13th century from the time when the Nemanjid rulers took the title of king, the second was inaugurated by King Milutin’s rapprochement with Byzantium in the early 14th century, and the third by Stefan Dušan’s assumption of the imperial title in 1346.

Herrschaft, Territorium, Grenze. Die mittelalterliche Walachei im Fokus der modernen rumänischen Historiographie

Author(s): Daniel Ursprung / Language(s): German Issue: 73/2014

Marian COMAN, Putere și teritoriu. Ţara Românească medievală (secolele XIV-XVI) [Herrschaft und Territorium. Die mittelalterliche Walachei (14.-16. Jahrhundert)]. Iași: Polirom 2013 (Historia). 357 S., Abb., ISBN 978-973-46-3403-3, RON 27,95 The text reviews the book by Marian Coman on Power and territory in medieval Wallachia. Th e book shows that Wallachia before the late 16th century has not been organised on the basis of territoriality. The power of its rulers was rather based on a network of social links. Medieval Wallachia did not have clear-cut borders, but rather diffuse frontier-zones that were not closed than in the late 16th century. Th e author presents detailed research of the three frontier-zones of Wallachia: the frontier towards neighboring Moldavia, the Carpathian frontier bordering Transylvania, and the Danube, separating Wallachia from the Ottoman Empire, at least symbolically.

Svevremenost Rumija, mistika i pjesnika

Author(s): Mirza Lekić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 73-74/2017

Zauzimanje novih teritorija i susreti sa nepoznatim kulturama tokom britanskih i francuskih kolonijalnih osvajanja u prošlim vjekovima probudila su kod zapadnog čovjeka posebnu vrstu interesovanja za kulture i narode istočno od Carigrada. Univerzalna težnja čovjeka da objasni drugog i drugačijeg dovela je do nastanka akademskog interesovanja i nau- čne obrade kultura koju stvaraju ljudi Istoka. Opisi običaja, fizičkog izgleda i duhovnih stanja istočnjaka (Persijanaca, Arapa, Turaka, Azijata, muhamedanaca) postaju temama i motivima književnih djela formirajući tako preovlađujuće mišljenje i stavove o drugome koje postaje dominantno. U tom smislu, Edvard Said smatra da Orijent ne postoji sam po sebi, već da je on samo diskurs o Orijentu, odnosno predstave o Istoku koje formiraju zapadni istraživači.

Author(s): Tadeusz Kasabula / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2016

Formation of the Vilnius Cathedral Chapter was a long process since its inception in 1388 to the middle of the sixteenth century. As the capital city of the cathedral chapter of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from the beginning of its existence in the system and the organization was inspired by the Cracow Cathedral Chapter. Under the papal foundation bull by pope Urban VI Pontifex Maximus to erect bishopric of Vilnius the first two of the Prelature were founded (provost and dean) and 10 canonries. All of them were endowed in 1387 by king Vladislav II Jagiello. The next four prelate names: custodian, archdeacon, scholastic and cantor, and two canonries were developed under the efforts of successive monarchs, bishops and Chapter. The structure of the Chapter was finally clarified around 1525, which since then consisted of six prelates and 12 canons. In such organizational frameworks the Vilnius corporation canons and prelates survived until the end of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Individual members of the Chapter had a specific range of privileges and obligations which in the case of prelates were assigned to each of the dignity of the individual. Competence of canons were evolving, depending on the current needs. In the reporting period, the corporation prelates and canons in gremio constituted under the church law a control body of the actions of diocesan bishops, which was de facto institution co-managering of the diocese.

Razvoj zdravstvene službe u Veneciji (Magistrato alla sanita)

Author(s): Marija V. Kocić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 32/2013

The development of medical services in Venice started in the mid 14th century and it was predominantly influenced by the outbreak of the plague (Black Death), after which the first health care regulations were introduced. Several decades on, the organization of the health care service was finalized. Regulations passed by the Senate in the mid 15th century were of major importance. Several decades later, a separate Magistrate (Magistrato alla Sanità) was set up to deal with public health care. This institution continued to operate in an almost unchanged form until the final fall of the Republic of Venice in 1797.

Rola arcybiskupa Jana z Sultanii w stosunkach dyplomatycznych pomiędzy Mongołami a Europą Zachodnią na przełomie XIV i XV w.

Author(s): Łukasz Burkiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

John, the eighth archbishop of Soltaniensis, that is Persian Sultania, is one of the most mysterious figures in the Mongol-European relations at the turn of 14th and 15th centuries. He devoted his life not only to God but also to diplomacy, travelling and writing, and the mystery surrounding his life has been increased by numerous errors in academic attempts to identify him. Undoubtedly, he enjoyed an exceptional position in Timur’s court and was called the Mongol ruler’s “special friend.” He was the initiator of the mission to the European rulers, which began in 1402, as he planned to evangelize the Chagatai Khanate with the support of the West. He hoped that on his mission he would manage to recruit volunteers to support his missionary activities in the East. Trade and the colonies established by Western merchants along the trade routes in the East were a pretext and a natural incentive for missionary activities, and that is why they were discussed in correspondence between Timur and European rulers. However, the outcome of John’s mission was not significant – the results were merely superficial and he did not manage to change the negative perception of Timur in Europe.

Usura, protocapitalismo e Giotto nel canto XVII dell’Inferno di Dante

Author(s): Marino Alberto Balducci / Language(s): Italian Issue: 3/2016

In this hermeneutical study on a canto that represents the emblematic center of all Dante’s Inferno, we find a reflection about the extensive network of symbols which is related with the vice of greed, highlighting for the first time the hidden kinship between apparently different faults: usury, blasphemy and sodomy. Geryon the monster appears at the beginning, connecting us with mercantilism as a socio-historical phenomenon rapidly evolving when Europe sees its transition from feudalism to proto-capitalism. Later, the animalized figure of Reginaldo Scrovegni, in this same alienating context (the sole infernal canto which is entirely coloured as a fresco), suggests the implicit, ironic and disturbing presence of Giotto, with a secret moral reference (as a cruel contrappasso) to his famous masterpiece of Padua. Immediate horror and beauty come grotesquely together thus, in this hellish space, with a specific and surprising sarcastic power.
