Bosanski “krstjani” u društvenom i političkom životu srednjovjekovne Bosne i Huma

Author(s): Salih Jalimam / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Historical sources on the presence of Bosnian krstjani in medieval Bosnia and Hum, their society, political life, culture and diplomacy are unambiguous and corroborate much more than is usually stated in the dry chronicler notes. The treatment of Bosnian krstjani and their position in the structure of the medieval Bosnia and Hum cannot be interpreted as a clasical interrelation between the state and state religion. The reasons for this are numerous, especially since the problem of state religion in medieval Bosnia is oversimplified, and many scholars are reluctant to conclude what the position of krstjani of Bosnia and Hum actually was in the social and political life of medieval Bosnia and Hum. All the recorded historical sources that address medieval Bosnia and Hum indicate that Bosnian krstjani had an important, even crucial position in the political, social and state life of the medieval Bosnia and Hum in the long period from the end of the 12th century until the political downfall of medieval Bosnia and Hum. They represented the distinguished part of the society and held a position of authority unlike any other in the medieval community of Bosnia and Hum. All this postulates a societal and political position of Bosnian krstjani on a different, more prestigious platform, which significantly influenced practically all segments of medieval society of Bosnia and Hum.

The Bulgarian State in 927–969. The Epoch of Tsar Peter I

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Tsar Peter (927-969), the book’s protagonist, is all too frequently presented in modern scholarship as a weak ruler, devoid of any grander political aspirations, focused on religious matters, indeed – pious, but neglecting the vital interests of his subjects. It was said that during his reign both his court and state became Byzantinised, that the central authority was completely helpless in the face of Hungarian raids, and saw the spread of the Bogomilist heresy. According to the Tsar’s critics, it was as a result of his ineffectual rule that Boris II, his son and successor, was unable to defend Bulgaria’s sovereignty in 971.This book – the first monograph in world literature devoted to Peter - was written by Bulgarian (Miliana Kaymakamova, Georgi N. Nikolov, Angel Nikolov, Nikolay Hrissimov) and Polish medievalists (Miroslaw J. Leszka, Kirił Marinow, Zofia A. Brzozowska Jan M. Wolski). Thanks to a thorough analysis of the sources and an in-depth knowledge of the literature of the subject, they constructed a comprehensive and balanced image of the reign of their protagonist, and of the role he played in the history of mediaeval Bulgaria.

This is, perhaps, because it is dedicated to the 70th birthday anniversary of a person who is always cheerful himself, an archaeologist, zealous and lucky researcher, a radiant personality and a very kind man, as well as a wonderful colleague and true friend of all good people – Nicolai Telnov.His journey in science has been long and fruitful: from Belgorod to Bucovina, from the Crimea to the Carpathians; expeditions and field surveys, libraries and museums; with shovel and satchel; with fantastic patience and sensational results, with vast experience and rich knowledge ready to share with his colleagues and disciples. Telnov’s realm is Tripolye and Scythians, Dacians and Slavs, medieval nomads and the old letters of the sad Lay of Igor’s Warfare. His inquisitive mind knows no limits, and we will be more than glad if this volume can serve him and other readers as a trigger to follow the thorny path of science in search of new insights.

Król i Korona Cierniowa. Kult relikwii we Francji Kapetyngów

Author(s): Jerzy Pysiak / Language(s): Polish

The author portrays the relation between two problems of the medieval kingdom of France: the apocryphal 11th-century legend about Charlemagne bringing the Crown of Thorns to the kingdom of the Franks and its reception in 11th–13th century literature, and reconstructing the actual Capetian cult of relics. In the author’s opinion between the 11th and 13th century both phenomena of the spiritual culture of Capetian France were shaping the religious ideological foundations of the Capetian dynasty.

Wykład o słodkiej ziemi Cypru „Cronaca”, to jest Kroniką, zwany

Author(s): Leoncjusz Machieras / Language(s): Polish

Leontios Machairas’s fifteenth century account is beyond doubt the most outstanding example of mediaeval Greek chronicle-writing. The work is the main source on Cypriot history in the period following the island’s seizure by Frankish Crusaders as well as a monument of living vernacular Cypriot Greek of the Middle Ages. The story told encompasses 1,131 years: from the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helen (327) to the end of the Frankish rule of the island with the death of King John II (1458). The author of the chronicle was a Greek-speaking Cypriot native but also a Frankish courtier. The reader gets a feeling as though the author had documented a gradual making of Cyprus’s Franko-Greek society, hailing mostly from the middle (urban) classes of the islanders: natives as well as incomers, with more uniting than dividing both groups as time went by. Speaking at least two languages, attending Greek and Latin churches, they were probably blissfully unaware of the problem of ‘dual loyalty’.

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.

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.
