The Early Years of the Bulgarian Athonite Monastery of Zographou (980-1279) and its Byzantine Archive. Critical Edition of the Greek and Slavic Documents

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

The monograph analyzes the basic thematic entities, the demographic and financial data, as well as the topography of the estates described in 12 genuine (dated from 980 to 1279) and 2 falsified (presumably dating from 1049 and 1142 but actually composed in about 1583—1586 and after 1267) acts, which are presently kept in the archive of the Bulgarian Athonite monastery of Zographou. An attempt is made at illustrating most of the affairs discussed in Zographou archival charters with maps adequate in precision to the data provided by the documents. The philological and historical analysis of the acts is supported by a new, critical edition of the original texts, which is based on photographs available in the Central State Archive of Bulgaria.

Historia, manipulacja i trauma

Author(s): Filip Kubiaczyk / Language(s): Polish

The author undertakes an analysis of the narrative of Catalonia’s past, in particular where it concerns its relations with Spain which, in the Catalan discourse, happen to be presented in a way that moulds historical awareness of Catalans in terms of injustices the nation has suffered. Focusing on “victimhood” makes it possible to forge a sense of community by celebrating historical trauma. Consequently, we are dealing not so much with history as critical reflection on the past, but with a history of memory. This book sets out to show how the landmarks of Catalan history – the defeat of 1714 in particular – became a salient interpretive trope which, having assumed the shape of a spectre of the past that haunts the Catalan community, dictates how that past should be remembered and perceived.

In 2014, 360 years have passed since the conclusion of the agreement between the tsarists and Cossack governments in Pereyaslav (now Pereyaslav-Khmelnytsky), which was a turning point in subsequent historical processes that have long been observed in the mutual relations of the two peoples. This event also influenced the geopolitical situations both in the Eastern European region and throughout Europe. Today, it is possible to build different models for options, if there were the further fate of Ukraine and Russia in the event of changes in the policy of Bogdan Khmelnitsky and his successors after the mentioned action. But history does not know the conditional way, and everything happened as it happened. The peripetias in the relations that began in 1654, were reflected in the events, recently quite tragic, at the beginning of the XXI century.

History as the Story of Liberty

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

FROM AUTHOR’s FOREWORD: I propose in this volume to take up again the subject of the Theory and History of the Writing of History which I wrote in 1912-13, and which was continued in my History of Italian Historiography in the Nineteenth Century and in several other shorter works. I do not wish to offer this book in replacement of the previous book, but only to add new considerations bom of my further studies and stimulated by new experience of life. In conformity with its origin, this book consists of a series of essays which share an implicit unity in the thought which runs through them all, and to which I have given also an explicit unity by means of the first essay, which serves as an introduction. Any slight repetition or infraction of the order of exposition noticeable now and then is a consequence of the literary form of the essay.

Имиграцията и „градината като работилница“: българските градинари в Унгария в края на XIX и началото на XX век

Author(s): Nikolai Vukov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2024

The importance of various factors (availability of land, water resources and urban markets, etc.) is outlined. These influenced the arrival and settlement of gardeners in the Habsburg Empire, but also – with the new approaches to cultivating the land and placing the produce – testify to a specific process of modernization in theterrain of agriculture. The article highlights the significant role of Bulgarian gardeners in this process, thanks to which they could not only establish themselves and respond to the new social demands, but also laid the foundations for their long-term presence and interaction with Hungarian society.

Über die Wahrnehmung der polnischen Geschichte durch die Deutschen. Drei Interviews

Author(s): Jochen Böhler,Daniel Brewing,Stephan Guth / Language(s): German

The history of mutual bilateral relations has almost always been one of the most controversial issues in German-Polish relations. The same can be said about the interpretation of the historical processes taking place in the neighboring country, about the perception of Polish history on the one hand and about the Polish reading of German history on the other. The abandonment of previous stereotypical ways of presenting things and the departure from outdated patterns only took place in the course of a lengthy process, which was, however, increasingly stimulated over time by increasingly lively contacts and concrete debates on the subject.
