The aim of our study is to provide a comprehensive picture of the past and present state of the Hungarian churches of Cleveland, with special focus on the city’s first Roman Catholic community, which recently celebrated its 125th anniversary. We analyze the Hungarian religious community of Cleveland and its effect on the Hungarian identity on the basis of literature and fieldwork with interviews and personal interviews. In addition, the study deals in detail with the 125-year-old Saint Elizabeth Church, which was the first Catholic Roman Catholic community of the city and is an integral part of the preservation of Hungarian identity. We conclude that the Hungarian faith communities operating today play an important role in the preservation of the identity of local Hungarians.

A FEW NOTES ON PHRYGIAN AND THRACIAN SCRIPT AND LITERACY

Until now, the mission carried out in Rome by the Ruthenian bishops Hipacy Pociej and Cyryl Terlecki between November 1595 and March 1596 was mainly known by a few scattered notes and reports left by the various members of the Curia, which were brought together in the second half of the 20th century in sources editions of Atanasij Velykyj. This is why the Ruthenian psalter found in the library of Évreux (Normandy) offers a new perspective on this founding stage of the Union of Brest. The book annotated by the hand of Pociej himself and offered to the French bishop Jacques Davy Du Perron, who was then in Rome, refl ects both the ecclesiological conceptions of the Ruthenian bishop of Volodymyr and his desire to place the unionist polemic in a wider confessional context, well beyond the borders of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The apparent failure of this initiative also comes as a testimony to the challenges faced by supporters of local Unions from the post-Tridentine period.

In Western European historical research, the “network” concept has gained ever greater ground in the last 20 years; history has developed its own network analytical methods. In Hungary, however, only a handful of researchers have applied network analysis. First, this article surveys the development of network analysis in general (Georg Simmel, Wolfgang Köhler, Kurt Lewin, Jacob Moreno, George Homans, Siegfried Nadel). Second, it presents the conceptual background of network theory (clique, cluster, etc.), with special regard to Albert-László Barabási and Mark Granovetter (defining strong-ties and weak-ties). The spatial and temporal representation of networks poses no simple challenge to historians. In order to illustrate this, the article draws on the visual depictions and analyses in Dauser, Regina–Hächler, Stefan–Kempe, Michael–Mauelshagen, Franz–Stuber, Martin (ed.), Wissen im Netz. Botanik und Pflanzentransfer in europäischen Korrespondenznetzen des 18. Jahrhunderts. [=Colloquia Augustana. Band 24.] Berlin, 2008. The application of network theory in historical research is presented through the pioneering work done by Wolfgang Reinhard, followed by the main achievements of the network analytical “school” in Augsburg to date. Finally, the article presents in further detail three specific areas where network analysis may be applicable: (a) network theory in Medieval and Early Modern Studies; (b) network theory in the analysis of diaspora-type social groups; (c) network theory in the analysis of social associations.

The paper aims at presenting new information concerning the Ottoman (short timar) tax registry TD 370 from 1530, comprising the Ottoman administrative unit region (beylerbeylik) of Rumelia (the Eastern Balkans, mostly the current-day Bulgarian lands). The historical record TD 370 offers a copious picture of the structure of the Ottoman society and the integration of the Roma into its different strata during the first half of the 16th century. An attempt for interpretation of the data on the geographical distribution and the quantitative parameters concerning the Christian and Muslim Roma, the Roma travellers and Roma settlers making their living through cultivating is offered. In addition, tax obligations and occupations of the Roma in the non-agrarian sphere are discussed as well as the integration of a substantial part of the Roma in the military organisation of the muselems.

In late 2019, an altar column and table were entirely uncovered with a Greek inscription on it at the catholicon of the Monastery of Bachkovo while mounting the restored 17th-century ciborium. The first part of the inscription was copied from an authentic source, an antimension or a book/codex, while the second was added containing typical of the period errors revealing the literacy skills of the scribe. The inscription is published here for the first time, but has been known since the first half of the 20th century. The donor’s inscription on the Holy Table in Bachkovo, containing the name of Metropolitan Christophorus, logically raises the question about its connection with the other donor’s inscription, used to date the construction of the Church of the Most Holy Mother of God Petritsonitissa, above the west door to the narthex: were they inscribed by the same hand, were the murals at the naos and those at the narthex painted at the same time?

US organized crime appeared in Havana in the 1930s, as one of the results of the close collaboration between the governments of Cuba and the United States in the first decades of the 20th century. In this period, the Italian and Jewish groups of the American mafia played an important role in Cuban politics, society and the Cuban economy. This extraordinary cooperation, especially with Fulgencio Batista, ended with the arrival of Fidel Castro, although the mafia did not disappear without a trace from the life of Havana. The aim of my paper is to highlight the most important characteristics, mobsters and events of the presence of organized crime in Havana.

Queen Elizabeth’s forty-five year reign is marked by refined representational strategies that aim to justify her rule as queen. One of the central issues she continuously addressed was female authority that defied traditional interpretations of the role of women within society. Instead of avoiding the question of her gender, Queen Elizabeth’s speeches, prayers and portraits consciously included corporeal references both to refute misogynist arguments and to manipulate gendered references as validation of female power. The article will analyse the metaphors of body in the Queen’s rhetoric and official representation in order to underline their significance as means to justify queenship in sixteenth-century England.

Seeking to present the State from a different perspective, the book examines both classical and modern theories of the emergence of the State, as well as the historical typology and evolution of the State over time. By applying a different approach, it seeks to overcome the confines of single disciplines, such as history, political science, sociology, law and anthropology among others. In practice, the book traces the history of the institution ‘state’ from the Antiquity to the Modern Age. Paev, K. The State from Antiquity to Modern Age: Theoretical and Historical Questions. Second revised edition: Sofia, Paradigma Publishing House, 2020, 220 p., ISBN 978-954-326-424-7
