The local products used for exchanges are studied, including saffron, dried fruit, raisins and figs, coral, wool, glue , tal- low and manufactured items like woolen cloth, ceramics from Valencia, crafted hides, glass items, etc. The overseas spheres of trade are studied from the closest, namely Occitania and France, Italy and the Maghreb, to the Mediterranean Levant and the Atlantic territories, including Andalusia, Portugal, England and Flanders.

  • Was the Hauteville King of Sicily?*
    Annick Peters-Custot »Byzantine« versus »Imperial« Kingdom: How »Byzantine« was the Hauteville King of Sicily?* The extent to which the Byzantine political model infl uenced the kingdom of the Hauteville dynasty in Southern Italy and in Sicily is still the subject of debate 1 . Some examples of the Byzantine infl uence on the so-called »Norman« monar- chy of Sicily are so obvious that this infl uence is considered dominant even if the concept of Byzantine inheritance is still an intensely discussed topic, in particular in art history 2 . Nevertheless, the iconographic examples include the famous mosaics showing the Hauteville king as a basileus, found in the Palermitan church of Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio (the so- called »Martorana church«, built by Georg of Antioch around the middle of the 12th century, fi g. 1) 3 , as well as in the Monreale cathedral, which was commissioned by King Wil- liam II (1166-1189) at the end of the same century 4 . In both cases, the king is wearing the renowned imperial garments, known as the loros and kamelaukion, as he is being crowned by Christ (in the Martorana church) and by the Theotokos – the Mother of God – in Monreale. In addition to these two famous examples, the Byzantine infl uence on the Hauteville kings can be found in areas beyond the iconographic fi eld. For instance, we see it in the Hauteville kings’ reliance on Greek notaries to write public deeds, such as the sigillion, according to Byzantine formal models 5 . Another example is the Greek signature of Roger II, which, in presenting the king as a protector of the Christians, evokes imperial pretensions 6 .

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

This thesis explores the norms, practices, and experiences that conditioned urban belonging in Late Medieval Barcelona. A combination of institutional, legal, intellectual and cultural analysis, the dissertation investigates how citizenship evolved and functioned on the Barcelonese stage. To this end, the thesis is structured into two parts. Part 1 includes four chapters, within which I establish the legal and institutional background of the Barcelonese citizen. Citizenship as a fiscal and individual privilege is contextualised within the negotiations that shaped the limits and prerogatives of monarchical and municipal power from the thirteenth to the late fourteenth centuries.

    FOLLOWING THE FOOTPRINTS OF COLONIAL BARCELONA Gustau Nerín It is hardly unusual to find people, even highly educated people, who claim Catalonia can analyse colonialism with sufficient objectivity given that it has never taken part in any colonial campaign and never been colonialist. Even though most historians do not subscribe to this view, it is certainly a common belief among ordinary people. Dissociating ourselves from colonialism is obviously a way of whitewashing our history and collective conscience. But Barcelona, like it or not, is a city that owes a considerable amount of its growth to its colonial experience. First, it is obvious that the whole of Europe was infected with colonial attitudes at the height of the colonial period, towards the end of the 19th century and first half of the 20th. Colonial beliefs were shared among the English, French, Portuguese and Belgians, as well as the Swedes, Swiss, Italians, Germans and Catalans. Colonialist culture was constantly being consumed in Barcelona as in the rest of Europe. People were reading Jules Verne’s and Emilio Salgari's novels, collecting money for the “poor coloured folk” at missions in China and Africa and raising their own children with the racist poems of Kipling. The film industry, that great propagator of colonial myths, inflamed passions in our city with Tarzan, Beau Geste and The Four Feathers. Barcelona’s citizens certainly shared this belief in European superiority and in the white man’s burden, with Parisians, Londoners and so many other Europeans. In fact, even the comic strip El Capitán Trueno, which was created by a communist Catalan, Víctor Mora, proved to be a perfect reflection of these colonial stereotypes.

  • Relations with Other State Powers
    THE BULLETIN The Venice Commission was requested by the Constitutional Court of Romania, currently holding the presidency of the Conference of European Constitutional Courts (CECC), to produce a working document on the topic chosen by its Circle of Presidents at the preparatory meeting in Bucharest in October 2009 for the XV th Congress of the CECC. The topic was the following: “The relations of the Constitutional Court with other state authorities. Sub-topic 1: relations between the Constitutional Court and parliament. Sub-topic 2: conflicts of competence. Sub-topic 3: the execution of judgments.” The present working document is a contribution by the Venice Commission to the success of the Congress. Constitutional courts are the independent guarantors of the constitution and their main task is to protect the supremacy of the constitution over ordinary law. Over time, however, these courts have taken on further tasks, such as safeguarding the individual against the excess of the executive or providing a safeguard against judicial errors. Another very important role of these courts is to act as a neutral arbiter in cases of conflict between state bodies. Parties to such a conflict know that they can turn to the Constitutional Court for a decision that will help them in resolving their conflict based on the constitution. The possibility of turning to the court in itself sometimes incites them to settle their disputes before they even reach the court. In order to function correctly as an effective institution that stands above the parties in such a dispute, Constitutional Courts need to be independent and need to be seen as being independent.

  • OPINION the Kingdom of Sicily Was a State That Existed in the Southern
    OPINION The Kingdom of Sicily was a state that existed in the Southern part of Italy from 1130 when it was founded by the Normans under Roger II, until 1816. From the XIV Century. the Kingdom of Sicily was consecutively under the rule of Aragon, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. In 1816 the Kingdom united with the Kingdom of Naples to form the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and in 1861 the latter entered the United Kingdom of Italy. Until the moment of the fall of the Second Bulgarian State under the dominion of the Ottoman Empire in 1396, the Kingdom of Sicily (and afterwards the Kingdom of Aragon) was even a neighbouring to Bulgaria because during the XIII Century Bulgaria’s Western borders reached to the Adriatic Sea and were in each other’s immediate vicinity. Without making specific research into that question, even the countries’ geographical situation implied that they inevitably had relations and often contacts during the Middle Ages in which also the symbols of the two states played some role, including their heraldic signs, as also did the military-monastic orders and the dynastic orders. As autonomous political entities both Aragon (later on also united Spain) and the Kingdom of Sicily had such chivalric orders.
