Църковният закон на патриарх Василий в Архивския номоканон (ЦИАИ 1160)

Author(s): Ancho Kaloyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2015

The Arhivski Nomocanon (Church History and Archives Institute 1160) is end of the 14th century copy of the Penitential Nomocanon of the Bulgarian church. Its initial composition originated in 913 from translated and domestic legal documents and later new texts were added, among which we identify Patriarch Vasilii’s Ecclesiastical law. In the Law the total number of rules is 117, united thematically in 9 groups, of which the first two are meaningful: the first is about the hierarchy in the autocephalous Church headed by a Patriarch, the second establishes the priority of the ecclesiastical court over the tsar’s court, sign of the uniat with Rome (1204–1232) at the time of Patriarch Vasilii’s rule.

Ръкопис ЦИАИ 1160 и значението му за каноничното право на Балканите през XIV в.: ексцерптите от правилата на Трулския събор

Author(s): Mariyana Tsibranska-Kostova / Language(s): Bulgarian,Old Slavonic,Old Bulgarian Issue: 61-62/2020

This article examines the earliest extant collection of ecclesiastical legislation (1360s-1380s) in Bulgaria, its significance for studying Byzantine Canon Law, and the history of its reception in the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. Ms. 1160 of the Bulgarian Church-Historical and Archival Institute (CHAI) already has a phototype edition, but neither its compilation program, clearly linked to Bulgarian monasticism, nor its provenance have been sufficiently studied. It is one of the five earliest exemplars of a Byzantine prototype, conventionally known in Slavic studies as Pseudo-Zonaras, which is similar but not identical to the provincial Byzantine Nomocanon of Cotelerius. The content of the manuscript is richer than the textual core of the Nomocanon, including texts unknown in any other available copy. These unique texts highlight its currency in the 14th century. Regulations for clergy, especially monks, predominate. The author offers an explanation why the note by the principal scribe of the manuscript, the monk-priest Simeon, is placed after a text about the role of asceticism. She examines a block of sixteen rules from the Council in Trullo in its role as a textual “convoy,” concluding that its translation does not correspond to the translation of the same rules in the Slavonic Kormchaia books, although it follows the general translation principles of the Nomocanon corpus. The article also proposes that the inclusion of this textual block in the codex is not accidental, and maintains that it is methodically justified to study the earliest copies of Pseudo-Zonaras in order to determine the historical context that gave rise to this particular translation, so that we can establish in what degree it reflects the prototype and in what it constitutes a compilation. CHAI 1160 is a Slavonic translation of a Byzantine Canon Law codex from the first quarter of the fourteenth century in Palaiologos Byzantium, when canonical and secular law texts were newly bound together to restore the Byzantine legal tradition after years of Latin domination.

Кой е адресатът на писмото, включено под № 16 в документалната сбирка Ponemata diaphora

Author(s): Iliya Iliev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2022

The collection of texts known under the title Ponemata diaphora, composed probably before the end of the 14th century, represents part of the decisions of various ecclesiastical legal cases taken personally by Archbishop Demetrios Chomatianos (1216–1236) or by the Synod of the Church of “all of Bulgaria” with headquarters in Ohrid. The content of the documentary material reveals the colorful picture of the daily life of the Bulgarians of that era – their joys, sorrows and daily cares for home and family. One of the most interesting documents in the collection is the one included under No. 16, representing a letter reply to an unnamed ruler – Theodore Comnenus or Ivan II Asen.

FEDERAZIONE O FEDERALISMO

Author(s): Giovanni Lobrano / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2022

In a historical and dogmatic examination (unconventional and, therefore, subjectively risky but objectively necessary) the federal form of government (we use both the expression ‘form of government’ and the category ‘federal’ in their general meanings) shows, first of all, a relevant and possibly surprising characteristic, from which a number of other features are derived. This ‘characteristic’ is to be: not a ‘special’ form of government (which the late eighteenth-century neologism [1787] „federalism“ suggests), but ‘tout court’, the republican form of government, which is an alternative to the royal form of government; that is, as it was written in the middle of the Age of Enlightenment: the „only form of government which is an alternative to the power of only one“. Indeed, Montesquieu (EdL, 1748, 9.1; expressing, moreover, a shared thought) states: „It is, therefore, very probable that mankind would have been, at length, obliged to live constantly under the government of a single person, had they not contrived a kind of constitution that has all the internal advantages of a republican, together with the external force of a monarchical, government. I mean a federal republic“. It is difficult to find a better definition of the great Republic, i.e. the Roman imperial Republic: organized in cities (each with its own assembly of citizens: comitium) and groups of cities, the provinces (each with its own assembly of cities: concilium provinciale). We must resume both, scientific reflection and political initiative on the „federal republic“ as the only possible form of republic, whose model is the Roman imperial res publica.

INTERACTION BETWEEN ROME AND THE PROVINCES DURING THE LATE REPUBLIC AND THE PRINCIPATE

Author(s): Tihomir Rachev / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The Roman empire established peace in the Mediterranean that lasted for several centuries. The Roman peace – Pax Romana, to which the imperial policy aspired during the era of the Principate, determined the reformation of the administrative structures of the Roman state. The accumulated experience from the era of the Republic was developed in the foundations of the imperial model of government and facilitated the establishment of peace and stability. The present article aims to make a brief overview of the interaction between Rome, the Italian territories and the provinces in the period of transition from the republican to the imperial model of government concerning the reforms carried out in the administrative apparatus of the state, in order to trace the basic lines of the imperial administrative policies in the beginning of the Principate.

THE PEREGRINI – ROME’S PROVINCIAL SUBJECTS

Author(s): Velina Stoyanova / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Viewed as „strangers“, the peregrini constituted the majority of Rome’s population. Although they did not have roman citizenship, still the peregrini benefited from specific rights. The main points of interests in the article are to examine the legal status of these people under ius gentium and to explore how this status differed from Roman citizenship. Lastly the study will try to give a classification of the distinct types of peregrini.

PRAESES PROVINCIAE, RECTOR PROVINCIAE, PROCONSUL PROVINCIAE В ИМПЕРАТОРСКИТЕ КОНСТИТУЦИИ ОТ ТЕОДОСИЕВИЯ КОДЕКС

Author(s): Methodi Todorov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The article analyses the use of the terms proconsul, praeses, rector to designate the provincial governor in the Codex Theodosianus; it points out the terminological continuity of the first two with their use in the previous era and establishes the classical origin of proconsul and praeses and the postclassical origin of the term rector as a designation of provincial governor. An analysis of the imperial constitutions in Theodosian Code reveals that it is the new term rector that has the highest frequency of use by the imperial office in 118 imperial constitutions, compared to proconsul in 102 imperial acts; the term praeses has the lowest frequency of use in Theodosian Code.

HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION OF TARSATICA AND SENIA IN THE ROMAN AGE

Author(s): Željko Bartulović / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The paper analyzes the history of the organization of Tarsatica, which in an earlier period had the status of a municipality, as well as preserved data on municipal officials, while in the second stage of its development it became a military center that defended the Italy from barbarian invasions. The second part of the paper analyzes the history of the organization of ancient Senia, which was an important traffic center and port, also in the status of a municipality, as well as preserved data on municipal officials. The authors analyze and compare different organizational and legal statuses of ancient settlements: oppidum, municipiums and colonies, as well as the structure of the population in them, which speaks of the degree of Romanization in the area of the eastern coast of the northern Adriatic.

In Defence of Utopia. Józef Tischner’s Thinking about the Social Ethos

Author(s): Krzysztof T. Wieczorek / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2022

An important trend in Tischner’s philosophical output was the observation of the phenomena that would occur in the current social life of Poles. The trend gained particular significance at the turn of the 1970s and the 1980s, when the processes that finally led to the systemic transformation began. During this period, Tischner made a successful attempt to reconstruct the Polish social ethos. It turned out that its integral element is the presence of utopian projects to rebuild the social order in the country. Tischner stated in his analyses that these utopias play a constructive role in the social life because they motivate people to engage in the political struggle for deep system reforms. The article presents the content of Tischner’s reconstruction of Polish utopias from the 1970s and the 1980s and the correlation between social ethics, ideological discussions, and political practice of the declining period of the Polish People’s Republic.

The Idea of Solidarity in the Concept of Man Created in God’s Image

Author(s): Marek Petro / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2022

Moral theology concerns the morality of society and acts of an individual or a group of individuals that constitute that particular society. Morality teaches us to properly respond to God’s calling, so that we can fulfil our ultimate goal. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, regarded as a compendium of the doctrines of the magisterium of the Church, can also serve as a valuable source for teaching moral theology. In the first section (“Man’s Vocation Life in the Spirit”) of the third part (“Life in Christ”) of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we can learn that man has been created “in the image and likeness of the Creator” (chap. 1, art. 1), where solidarity plays a significant role. The present paper analyses this issue.

The Concept of Subjectivity in the Light of Józef Tischner’s Thought

Author(s): Krzysztof Wielecki / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2022

Reverend Józef Tischner was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding Polish philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. What we owe to this student of Roman Ingarden is the flourishing of phenomenology and the philosophy of dialog not only in our domestic philosophical, but also sociological, psychological, and anthropological thought. His philosophy of drama is an original and very important current, which is enriched not only by the “Queen of the Sciences” but also offers great support to the related sciences, particularly sociological sciences. Within them, subjectivity is an extremely important subject of contemplation. This article is a sketch of the analysis of the benefits that a sociologist, researcher of subjectivity, can derive from reading Józef Tischner’s works.

Philosophical Reflection on Ideology against the Backdrop of Józef Tischner’s Thinking

Author(s): Radovan Šoltés / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2022

Since its beginnings, philosophy has been associated with a critical quest for answers and has rejected biased and uncritical a priori interpretations. Methodic doubt has thus become not only the ever-present method of philosophy, but also a symbol of defiance against every kind of closed-minded and ideological thinking that has a tendency to simplify explanations and adapt reality to its own projections about the said reality. This type of thinking has always been linked to truth claims made by individual power entities. In the past, we have witnessed twists and abuses of ideology with far-reaching political consequences and yet the problem still persists. Each and every situation affected by crisis is a breeding ground for quick, clear and black and white explanations which attract attention and gain support, since they are generally easy to comprehend. This paper introduces a philosophical context of ideological thinking, in which the “will to power” is typical, as reflected upon by many thinkers, among them Józef Tischner who draws from his personal experience with the Communist regime in Poland.

Dignity of the Human Person

Author(s): Adrian Loretan-Saladin / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2022

The Vatican II fundamentally changed the ecclesiastical view towards the human person. Especially in Nostra aetate, Gaudium et spes, and Dignitatis humanae it strengthens the dignity of the human person and personal freedom as base for a world with equal rights for all mankind. Therefore, the council qualified discrimination of all kind as against God’s will. These statements have a huge impact on the necessary further development of theology and canon law.

Matrimony between Christians: Historical Dynamics and Canonical Perspective

Author(s): Stanislav Přibyl / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2023

Firstly, the article provides basic information on the biblical teaching on marriage. While the Old Testament sees marriages with numerous offspring as a high value, the New Testament shows a tendency towards celibacy, be it on account of imitating Christ or for the expectation of imminent parousia. The most important author amongst the Fathers of the Church, St. Augustine, made a significant contribution towards forming the Catholic doctrine on marriage upon which drew even the medieval scholastics. In the modern age, the Church complained about the countries which forced their concept of marriage on the Catholic faithful. Even today, the Catholic Church is against the breakdown of marriage by means of divorce. Since the Second Vatican Council, however, there has been a development, for example, as regards contracting marriages between Christians of Catholic and non-Catholic confessions. Prior to the publication of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, this was expressed in the motu proprio of Paul VI Matrimonia mixta, whose regulation did not have to be changed substantially in the Code.

LAESIO ENORMIS – ПРЕКОМЕРНОТО УВРЕЖДАНЕ В СЛЕДКЛАСИЧЕСКОТО РИМСКО ПРАВО СПОРЕД РЕСКРИПТИТЕ НА ИМПЕРАТОР ДИОКЛЕЦИАН В ЮСТИНИАНОВИЯ КОДЕКС (CJ.4.44.2; CJ.4.44.8)

Author(s): Methody Todorov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2024

Laesio enormis is based on two rescripts of Emperor Diocletian in the Codex Justinianus (CJ.4.44.2, CJ.4.44.8). This institution does not exist in classical law, nor is it found in the Codex Theodosianus. The article justifies the issuance of the rescripts by Emperor Diocletian and the authenticity of part of the text, as well as the presence of interpolations in other parts of it. With their inclusion in the Codex Justinianus, a generalization of a legal authorization given for a private case and an exclusive hypothesis was made, and with the reception of the Codex Justinianus since the Middle Ages, this legal institute was adopted as a principle of contract law. The paper analyses his reception in canon law-the decretal Cum dilecti (Decr.Greg.3.17.3) of Pope Alexander III.
