Author(s): Vasil Gyuzelev / Language(s): Bulgarian

The present collection comprises 73 medieval documents from the period between 716–1509 of various origins (Bulgarian, Byzantine, Ragusian, Genoese, German, Hungarian, Venetian, etc). They represent a great variety of sub-genres, sizes, as well as contents: ledgers, contracts and statute-books, notary and written agreements, labour contracts, sales certificates, price-lists, trade manuals, wages- sheets, receipts, etc. What they have in common is the fact they all belong to the business documentation of the Middle Ages. This collection of documents is a representation of the tangible and actual history in the utmost degree. Its significance from the point of view of a historical source is paramount since it is remarkable for its impartiality, authenticity and credibility. It is because of that it can be considered as being thoroughly reliable. The collection in question, apart from being meant to disclose the role of both accounting and the actual, as well as tangible consideration to the history of the Bulgarian and European Middle Ages, also communicates a number of activities, phenomena and processes to have taken place in the economic and commercial history. All too often, the documents it contains also come off as the most credible source of information for a number of events and activities making up the military and political, as well as diplomatic history. It also gives an idea of the currency units, length, weight and capacity measures, items of commerce, commodity circulation, and the dynamics of the economic relations. The book comes with a study on the accountancy and trade ledgers, introductory notes for each and every document, annotations, as well as a thesaurus. The editor hopes that medievalists and historians dealing with economics and commerce of the Middle Ages will benefit from its publication for it provides suitable, as well as reliable means to a fruitful and honest scientific research.

Az első világháború keletkezése új megközelítésben

Author(s): Richard John Evans / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The centenary year 2014 yielded a huge number of books on the causes of World War I, ranging from broad panoramas of the preceding decades to detailed investigation of international relations in the weeks after Sarajevo. This contribution draws briefly on some of the more rigorous and ambitious of the new English-language work, to set it in the context of existing historiography on the subject. It finds current analysis to have reverted to many of the conclusions drawn by those assessing the issues during the 1920s and 1930s, which culminated in the magisterial treatment by Luigi Albertini. Structuralist interpretations, and the thesis of well-nigh exclusive German war guilt, associated most famously with the writings of Fritz Fischer, have given way again to a stress on the personal and all-round responsibility of those who determined the foreign-policy decision-making of the great powers in mid-1914. This is especially clear in reappraisal of the key role of Austria-Hungary in that process.

A nagy háború gondolata a dualizmus kori utópisztikus és sci-fi irodalomban

Author(s): Miklós Veres / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The modern Hungarian science-fiction and utopian literature was born and attained its majority after the Compromise of 1867. The novel of Mór Jókai, A jövő század regénye [The Novel of the Next Century] (1872-1874) was the first of Hungarian utopian novels to present a modern technicised war, which transforms both Hungary and the world. The followers of Jókai (Pál Privigyey, Gyula Farkas) share the same views; the great wars of the future are fought with the help of technical and scientific discoveries. After the turn of the century, in the shade of the forming federal systems, the writers placed the break out of the war in tangible proximity instead of the distant future. (Maritimus: Nagy Háború, [Great War] 1909; Ábel Barabás: A jövő évtized regénye, [The Novel of the Next Decade] 1910). In my study besides the analytical introduction of the war-time future depiction of the texts I show how they fit into the international „invasion” literature, which became popular with the novel of George Tomkyns Chesney entitled Battle of Dorking (1871) and which was fulfilled with The War of the Worlds by (1898) H. G. Wells.

Историко-философски изследвания. Том I Античност. Античната философия като феномен на културата. „Неписаното учение“ на Платон. Наблюдения върху Платоновото понятие за истината. Панеций и платонизацията на стоицизма

Author(s): Tzotcho Boiadjiev / Language(s): Bulgarian

The cultural approach is based on the belief that - despite even the most dramatic contradictions between strict and disciplined theory and the hardly perceived detachment and disparity of human habitation - philosophy is nothing but the life itself in the logos. To reconstruct the past philosophical system means not only to correctly restore the logical scheme of the respective doctrine, but above all, to manifest its living flesh, its beyond logical element.

Разплата. История на Отон. Пратеничество в Константинопол. Разплата. История на Отон. Пратеничество в Константинопол

Author(s): Liudprand Liudprand of Cremona / Language(s): Bulgarian

This modern translation of all the surviving literary compositions ascribed to Liudprand, the bishop of Cremona from 962 to 972, offers unrivaled insight into society and culture in western Europe during the "iron century". Since Liudprand enjoyed the favor of the Saxon Roman emperor Otto the Great, and traveled to Constantinople more than once on official business, his narratives also reveal European attitudes toward the Byzantine Empire and the culture of its refined capital city. No other tenth-century writer had such privileged access to the high spheres of power, or such acerbic wit and willingness to articulate critiques of the doings of powerful people. Liudprand's historical texts (the Antapodosis on European events in the first half of the 900s, and his Historia Ottonison the rise to power of Otto the Great) provide a unique view of the recent past against a genuinely European backdrop, unusual in a time of localized cultural horizons. Liudprand's famous satirical description of his misadventures as Ottonian legate at the Byzantine court in 968 is a vital source of information on Byzantine ritual and diplomatic process, as well as a classic of medieval intercultural encounter. Readers interested in medieval European culture, the history of diplomacy, Italian and German medieval history, and the history of Byzantium will find this collection of translated texts rewarding. A full introduction and extensive notes help readers to place Liudprand's writings in context.

Курганы vs поселения: скотоводы vs земледельцы

Author(s): Svetlana V. Ivanova / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

Article treats the cultural and historical situation during the Late Eneolithic-Early Bronze Age, and the role of steppe pastoral populations in cultural transformations that took place in the world of early farmers (such as the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine, and areas to the west of it). Apparently, the population of Yamnaya (Pit Grave) culture, moving to the territory previously occupied by Tripolian tribes, was not related to the death of protocities. There is no reason to explain all the cultural changes in Europe during Paleometal epoch by the influx of new-comers — their causes could be quite varied. In this context, one should speak rather of the interaction of different cultures, influences of cultural and ideological traditions, which were manifested in the individual micro-regions in a variety of ways.

Rat u tročetvrtinskoj mjeri

Author(s): Žarko Puhovski / Language(s): Croatian

2014. je godina doista bogata obljetnicama – počevši, primjerice, s 2050 godina od vjenčanja Antonija i Kleopatre (i Pascal i Hegel su, poznato je, bili suglasni u tomu da bi svijet bio drukčiji da je „Kleopatrin nos bio kraći“, ali, zapravo, baš tada vjerojatno započinje mukotrpan proces osvještavanja egzistencije „svijeta“), pa sve do 20 godina otkako je „Pulp fiction“ doživio premijeru (kronologijski se između ovih godišnjica, uza sve ostale, može smjestiti još i 300 godina Bachove kantate „Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut“, 225 godina od početka Francuske revolucije, 125 godina od Heideggerova rođenja, 75 godina otkako je RCA započela sredovitim televizijskim programom, 60 godina od Brechtova „Kavkaskoga kruga kredom“, 40 godina od Nixonove ostavke…). Ipak, stogodišnjica Prvoga svjetskog rata kao da je progutala sve druge – vjerojatno i zbog općeproširene fiksacije na „okrugle“ brojke (a na jubilarne obljetnice naročito).

A Parallel Study of Romanian and Italian Traditional Culture

Author(s): Aurelia Sabiescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Through his enduring work and innovative forays as a pioneering researcher and true intellectual, De Martino remains a prolific culture maker and a pioneer in the field of ethno-anthropology, contributing to a remarkable extent, including advancing research in the field and continuing to stimulate, in a substantial way, those interested in following his path. In addition to his vast theoretical background, De Martino’s genuine personality has always guided him to a form of knowledge based on experience, with his field research developing innovative methodological approaches - even through the integration of new technologies – confirming De Martino as a true guide in applied ethnological research. Through the extensive use of photography as an essential tool for critical analysis of scientific evidence, all research techniques undergo transformation. The author advocates for the necessity of expanding the study of De Martino’s work within Romanian academia, particularly focusing on the relationship of the Italian scholar with Romanian folklore, treated and viewed in comparison with the forms of manifestation of Italian popular culture. In this exploration, fascinating aspects and similarities of tarantism with the ritual elements of the Romanian Căluș can be detected. The Căluș dance, included in UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (2005), stands as an important national emblem and a symbol of Romanian identity.
