Will man einen Überblick über die Bibliotheksgeschichte Siebenbürgens in den letzten 500 Jahren bieten, geht man meist auf herkömmliche Weise vor und präsentiert eine konventionelle Zusammenfassung des Themas, mit einem besonderen Akzent auf die Geschichte der Büchersammlungen als Institution. Dabei wird davon ausgegangen, dass Institutionsbibliotheken von vielen Menschen genutzt werden. Aus diesem Blickwinkel stellen die institutionellen Sammlungen den Grund und beinahe das einzige Objekt der Bibliotheksgeschichte dar. Die Problematik der sogenannten bibliotheca publica, das heißt der „öffentlichen“ Bibliothek ist allerdings komplexer.

Der Beitrag geht von dem Briefverkehr zwischen Petru Caraman und Ion Taloș, zwei herausragenden Persönlichkeiten der rumänischen Ethnologie aus. Der Arbeit liegen eigentlich zwei Briefe zugrunde, die Petru Caraman 1969 bzw. 1973 an Ion Taloș gesandt hat und die bis unlängst als verloren galten. Sie wurden mir von Professor Ion Taloș zur Veröffentlichung anvertraut. Um dem Leser Einblick in den Gesamtzusammenhang der Beziehung zwischen den beiden Forschern zu bieten, habe ich am Ende auch die Briefe beigefügt, die im von Ion H. Ciubotaru und Remus Zăstroiu herausgegebenen Band Petru Caraman. Corespondență (I, II) erschienen sind.

Die vorliegende Abhandlung präsentiert zwei- und dreisprachige Volkslieder der Siebenbürger Sachsen aus dem Tonbandbestand des Instituts „Folklorearchiv der Rumänischen Akademie” in Cluj-Napoca und skizziert deren Liedbiographie, indem auch Belege aus anderen deutschsprachigen Liedlandschaften herangezogen werden. Unsere Liedbeispiele stammen von Audioaufnahmen, die in den 60er-70er Jahren auf Feldforschungen in ethnisch gemischten siebenbürgischen Dörfern durchgeführt worden sind. Eine Umfrage zu diesen Liedern unter den heutigen Siebenbürger Sachsen ergänzt die Analyse mit aktuellen Informationen. Die gemischtsprachigen Volkslieder sind von der Form und Funktion her mit den Kunstmischliedern verwandt und zeichnen sich meist durch die humoristische Wirkung der Sprachmischung aus. Diese für die mehrsprachigen Gegenden charakteristische Liedgattung ist nicht nur für die Erforschung der Mehrsprachigkeit, sondern auch musikalisch interessant. In diesem Sinnekann sie im Hinblick auf die interethnischen Wechselbeziehungen in der südosteuropäischen Volksmusik, sowie für das Problem der Zirkulation der Volksgüter relevant sein.

The paper is devoted to analysis and description of the item no. 2141 from the manuscript collection of the Jagiellonian Library. It consists of several separate parts bound together in the 15th century at the earliest. The individual texts, especially those less known, are briefly discussed. During the analysis, a number of discrepancies between the actual manuscript and its descriptions in "Katalog rękopisów Biblijoteki Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego" compiled by Władysław Wisłocki were found. Taking into account paleographic and codicological data, the author attempted to determine an approximate date when each of the parts was created, as well as to establish the origin of the manuscript and how it was actually used.The paper is devoted to analysis and description of the item no. 2141 from the manuscript collection of the Jagiellonian Library.

The Latin preface of Father Leopold Jan Szersznik to his German translation of Apicius’s work falls within the scope of the opera minora category. Szersznik, who had received a thorougheducation, including individual French and Latin language tutoring and studies at Czech Jesuit colleges, is a good example of a scholar and educator from the Age of Enlightenment. His versatileinterests and extensive knowledge enabled him to conduct scholarly investigations and present their results through manuscripts as well as published works. Another, no less important partof his activity was the teaching and education of young people, to which he devoted himself to the end of his life. Comprehensive knowledge of the subject, due to gathering of an adequate sourcedatabase, allowed Szersznik, even in such a small piece of composition as a preface, to fully demonstrate his critical approach and fluent command of verbal riches of the language of Cicero.

A little recognized to date collection of letters of the renowned Poznań bookseller and editor Jan Konstanty Żupański to Józef Ignacy Kraszewski preserved In the Jagiellonian Library canvaluably complement the story of an excellent book by the eminent Polish-Livonian historian, Baron Gustaw Manteuffel (1832–1916). In 1869, Manteuffel published in Riga a book Polnisch Livland [Polish Livonia], which came to interest Polish readers, including Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. The famous novelist encouraged the Polish‑L ivonian author to publish his work also in Polish.This correspondence, related in part to preparing Polish publication (Inflanty Polskie, Poznań 1879) brings a lot of interesting details, most importantly concerning its editorial form and technical questions involved, including that of making prints for Manteuffel’s work by graphic artists from Leipzig. The letters indicate also the changing attitude of the Poznań bookseller tothe planned publishing project.

The subject of reflection in the paper is the impact of digitalization process on the overall shape of contemporary art. It focuses on the controversies concerning categorization into the fields of artistic culture of those types of artistic activity that have evolved as a result of the ongoingtechnologicalization of social life. The analysis considers also the dialogue between the latest technologies and the art market. The resulting symbiosis in the consumer society leads to democratizationof art through high availability of its latest interactive forms. The author attempts to determine the role and significance of the medium in the new forms of participation in culture, as well as to shed light on the problem of reception of new media art, as revealed through analysisof their affiliation to classically defined fields of artistic expression. The conclusions include a suggestion that digitalization should be regarded as a term distinct from digitization, as well ascomprehension of the artist-work relationship within the culture of convergence.

Culture is a commonly known term today and we meet with it every day. Culture is the development, education, improvement, refinement, the enrichment of the spirit. In everyday use, culture is understood as a spiritual activity and therefore includes literature, theater, film, music and other forms of creativity. Culture has a big influence on consumer behavior. Culture is also goods; it is transmitted from generation to generation and by the process of socialization. The main transmitters of cultural values are familiy, schools, libraries, museums, archives. Culture exists to satisfy needs within society. Libraries, archives and museums have long been a repository of information and knowledge for citizens, but also as places where such knowledge can be shared with others and continue to transform into wisdom.

The University Library “Svetozar Marković” in Belgrade, as one of the leading scientific institutions in Serbia, has a standing, four-year long cooperation with Wikimedia Serbia and, as a result, we have a joint project called Wiki Librarian. The initial idea was to establish cooperation with libraries across Serbia, and later it was expanded to also include other GLAM institutions. The main goal of the project is to shift (enlist) as many cultural institutions online. As the largest online, encyclopedia in the world, Wikipedia serves as the main platform to achieve this goal. The Wikipedia articles are continuously being updated by adding or editing text or photos. On Wikimedia Commons platform, one can post photos and other multimedia content with strict adherence to the copyrights and rules, so essentially everyone has an undisturbed access at any time. A number of articles about libraries in Serbia, the region and the wider have been posted, which enabled them to learn more about them and to emerge from the shadow of anonymity.

Based on the studies of genealogical prosopography, the paper expands the knowledge about the Besali family, originating from Bar in the mid-16th century and extinguished in Dubrovnik in the mid-17th century. The document, although related basically to one of its members, contains some unknown facts that complement the resumes of his closest relatives and friends, enlightening the whole social era. The State Archives in Dubrovnik preserve eight pages of a document registered on March 23, 1590, which contains the testament and the codicil of Prokulijan Camillo’s Besali, made on 10 and 19 November 1589 in Ancona, along with the distribution made according to these wills in the period between 1 December 1589 and 1591/95. The source provides a specific insight into the lives of the Besali family members who were moving and settling in both sides of the Adriatic. Significant geopolitical changes and threats to security caused them to leave their homeland and reside or stay for prolonged periods in different cities, trying to recreate and continue their existences in those areas. This confirms the permeation of cultural horizons and the interdependence of the Adriatic and Mediterranean spaces. Because of his personal name, coming from his mother’s family, historiographers have long confused Prokulijan Besali with his renowned father. By throwing light on his activity, it has been revealed that the testator, who resided in Ancona, was involved in trade, financially supported by the capital of Dubrovnik’s and Italian traders. Prokulijan’s abiding in Italy not only did not raise the issue of assimilation, but also opened much greater opportunities for the provision of commodities, borrowings, investments, and social ascent. Judging from Besali’s accounts, his trade routes from Ancona and the Marche may have included Venice, Milan, Florence, and the Levant. Among his business associates some very prestigious names have been recognized. Perhaps because of this, and not due to the lack of competence in managing his business ventures, the formulations of his last will speak much more about the settlement of obligations than about the collection of debts. The executors of his last will, and, given the way of expressing his emotions over the legacies, surely his close friends, belonged to Dubrovnik’s noble lineages of Resti and Gundula.

The Brlić family archive preserves letters written by Antonije Orešković to Andrija Torkvat Brlić from 1857 to 1868. Their acquaintance and correspondence were fundamental to the revival of the relations between the People’s Party and the Principality of Serbia in a crucial period of the final state transformation of the Habsburg Monarchy in 1867, which also determined Croatia’s position in the long run. During that decisive period, the People’s Party and Bishop Strossmayer subordinated their policies to a contractual program with Serbia aimed at creating an independent South Slavic state.

The register of Zadar’s Fraternity of Blacksmiths is preserved at the Scientific Library in Zadar. Based on the text of the register, the author has examined the basic regulations of the Fraternity of Blacksmiths in order to reconstruct its activities and the names of its members. The investigated documentation has been compared with the previously published scholarly literature on the Fraternity of Blacksmiths and the incomplete 19th century presentation of the register by Vitaliano Brunelli has been complemented. The aim of the paper is to indicate that the Fraternity of Blacksmiths in Zadar was established before 1490, contrary to what Brunelli erroneously stated, and to raise questions about its possible links to the Fraternity of Goldsmiths in Zadar.

Archival guides are frequently very lengthy, since they comprise the complete holdings of an individual archive; they are therefore disorganised, and to some researchers even discouraging. This paper presents the holdings collected in the course of operation of civil service, judiciary and the Military Border in the period from the founding of the town of Bjelovar to 1941, and relating to the town of Bjelovar. The thematic guide form has been chosen in order to present the oldest and the most fragmented materials that relate to the legal and administrative life of the town in one single place. Thanks to this type of approach, detailed listing of archive units in all the holdings was made possible. In order to unite all the sources of the history of the town, a list was composed including all the archive material holdings from the Bjelovar area, kept at the following Croatian heritage institutions: Croatian State Archive, State Archive in Bjelovar, and the Bjelovar Town Museum. The subject holdings include an abundance of concrete information on the town’s development, the functioning of institutions and the organization of life in the town. The objective of the paper is to familiarize all the potential researchers of the history of Bjelovar with this archive material.
