XXIV, NO. 3 (AUTUMN 2015) in parallel, for, as Swiss Professor Alexander Tschirch stated one century ago, at the beginning of his treatise on Pharmacognosy, “Pharmacia soror medicinae est.” At the start of the twentieth century, Professor Guignard contended that “pharmacy is also a branch of science, an art and a profession.” The history of pharmacy is vast, comprising the following: the history of medical doctrines, of the natural and physical sciences; the history of the pharmaceutical art itself, including the archeological survey instruments that have been used throughout time; the history of pharmacists, regarded as manufacturers and distributors of drugs, healthcare analysts and advisors to patients. What we are actually refer- ring to here is a part of the history of human evolution itself. For two or three millennia, pharmaceutical work was not differentiated from the medical one, being practiced by one and the same person, who prescribed and prepared the medicine—this was an era when the two activities were carried out in tandem. This is the farthest period in time the history of medicine and pharmacy can access, the archaic inscriptions, historical relics and monuments dating back to those times enabling us to discover the origins of these sciences. From the use of empirical medicine to the complex drugs of our days, to the isolation of their active principles, the determination of their chemical structure and their action at cellular level, the progress of scientific inquiry has been very long and difficult. Notwithstanding the moments of stagnation and decline, the evolution of both pharmacy and the act of healing has always been in the service of humanity. With the emergence of humans as beings endowed with consciousness, due to compulsory daily concerns, the most important of which were food and de- fense, what also made its presence felt was the need to treat various pathologies: fractures, cuts, dental afflictions, epidemics (less frequent at first), and so on. The identification of the medical practices used for curing those conditions is particularly difficult, as the only surviving testimonies are the traces they left on skeletons (broken bones, trepanned and scarred skulls, or chronic degenerative and acute infectious rheumatic diseases), attesting to the existence, at the time, of certain orthopedic and surgery concerns. The early humans considered that illness had either a physical cause (injuries, nutrition, poisoning, physical factors, effort), in which case physical remedies/ factors were administered (exposure to cold or warm temperatures, pricking), or a mythical-magical cause (spirits, spells, curses, charms), when incantations, purifications, disenchantments were resorted to, etc. The idea of alleviating such suffering through the administration of a remedy will have occurred to the hu- man who invented the first cure. Early therapy was based on empirical practices, which primarily used healing herbs, the first “medicines”—some of which were very effective—being plant products: emetic, purgative, diuretic, vermicidal, an- TR 3 2015.indd 4 11/13/2015 12:31:51 PM PARADIGMS • 5 tidiarrheal, abortifacient, antipyretic, diaphoretic drugs, etc. Remedies of animal origin (milk, honey, fat), as well as minerals (salt, clay, mud, mineral and ther- mal waters), were also used. In ancient times, the necessity of caring for the sick led to the appearance of healers, who knew the signs of various sufferings and their remedies. It can be assumed that the first physicians appeared out of a survival necessity, their natural observations and conclusions leading to the acquisition of special heal- ing skills. Religious practices also played a role in this respect, and even though they were sometimes carried out on animals, the sacrifices that were performed in temples resulted in the accumulation

    The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*

    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

    The Greek-Catholic Discourse of Identity in the Inter-War Period: the Relation Between the Nation and People’S Religious Confession

    The Greek-Catholic Discourse of Identity in the Inter-War Period: The Relation between the Nation and People’s Religious Confession Ciprian Ghişa ”Babeş-Bolyai” University Abstract: The Greek-Catholic Discourse of Identity in the Inter-War Period: The Relation between the Nation and People’s Religious Confession. This paper aims to analyze the question of the confessional identity, focusing on one of its main constitutive elements: the relation between the nation and people’s religious confession. The national identity and the confessional one have numerous common characteristics, influencing each other more or less depending on the historical evolution of events. These aspects are more profound in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-confessional environment, as otherness is one of the strongest factors that defines and strengthens the confessional as well as the national identity. This was also the case of the Greek- Catholic Church in Romania, in the inter-war period, taking into consideration its new status after the Union of 1918: a minority church in a country with an Orthodox majority. Its relation of otherness with the Romanian Orthodox Church also influenced its relation with the state and therefore it determined also the structure and the intensity of its discourse of identity. Among the most important themes of this discourse we can mention: the Greek-Catholic Church is the church of the forefathers; this Church, its faith and its believers are Romanian; the Union with Rome brought the Romanian people a lot of benefices

  • Martyred Romanian Bishops Fought Communist Regime

    Martyred Romanian Bishops Fought Communist Regime

    Martyred Romanian bishops fought communist regime The memory and witness of Romania’s martyred bishops are a reminder that Christians are called to stand firm against ideologies that seek to stifle and suppress their cultural and religious traditions, Pope Francis said. On the last leg of his visit to Romania, the pope June 2 celebrated a Divine Liturgy during which seven Eastern-rite Catholic bishops, who died during a fierce anti-religious campaign waged by the communist regime in Romania, were beatified. “These pastors, martyrs for the faith, re-appropriated and handed down to the Romanian people a precious legacy that we can sum up in two words: freedom and mercy,” the pope said. According to the Vatican, an estimated 60,000 people filled Blaj’s Liberty Field, while some 20,000 people followed the liturgy on big screens set up in various squares around the city. For Eastern Catholics in Romania, the field – located on the grounds of Blaj’s Greek Catholic Theological Seminary – is both a symbol of national pride and sorrow. It was in Liberty Field where, during the 100th anniversary of the Romanian nationalist revolution that communist authorities formerly dissolved the Eastern-rite Romanian Catholic Church. One of the newly beatified bishops, Bishop Ioan Suciu, the apostolic administrator of Fagaras and Alba Iulia, refused to appear at the event, which was perceived by his flock as a sign that they were called to remain steadfast in their faith and follow the path of persecution and martyrdom. Thirty years after the fall of communism, the sun shined brightly and solemn hymns echoed over the field that was once the site of the Eastern Catholic Church’s darkest period.

    Study of Romanian Pilgrimage Tourism Products – A Cultural Behavior Approach Letiția Adina NEGRUȘA1 Valentin TOADER2 Liviu VIDICAN-MANCI3 Abstract This study will concentrate on the Romanian pilgrimage tourism supply, in order to identify the characteristics of pilgrimage products. Using the Hofstede’s approach for Romanian society, we develop a meta-analysis and a systematic review of the most important research studies done on this topic for Romanian culture. As a result, we have determined the weight of each cultural dimension and their effects on the religious tourism and pilgrimage behavior. We correlate the findings from Hofstede’s theory with the data about the supply of pilgrimages in our country: main pilgrimage routes, services provided by the hospitality units, seasonality, length of stay, tourism and religious objectives the pilgrims may visit. The collectivism tendency and high uncertainty avoidance represent the main cultural aspects having an influence on pilgrims’ behavior and on the Romania’s supply of pilgrimages. As a result, most of the pilgrimages are concentrated in few destinations with a strong spiritual sense for an orthodox, have a small length of stay, while the services provided are customized to fulfill the pilgrims’ basic needs and emphasize the idea of sharing resources between pilgrims. The presence of a priest as a spiritual guide may lead to an improved pilgrimage experience. Keywords: Hofstede’s dimensions, cultural behavior, pilgrimage, religious tourism, supply. JEL classification: L83, E03 Introduction The pilgrimage is a constancy of humanity. Through pilgrimage people try to meet divinity in a spiritual way and gain the spiritual salvation. The Italian psychiatrist Claudio Rise emphasized that pilgrimage is not a spiritual fitness, but the demonstration of human need to find out for themselves the answers to the great questions of existence, starting on the go to a certain destination.

    THE POLISH RES PUBLICA of NATIONAL and ETHNIC Minorities from the PIASTS to the 20TH CENTURY

    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI 2014, No. II MARCELI KOSMAN Poznań THE POLISH RES PUBLICA OF NATIONAL AND ETHNIC MINORITIES FROM THE PIASTS TO THE 20TH CENTURY Początki Polski [The Beginnings of Poland], a fundamental work by Henryk Łowmiański, is subtitled Z dziejów Słowian w I tysiącleciu n.e. [On the History of Slavs in the 1st Millennium A.D.]. Its sixth and final volume, divided into two parts, is also titled Poczatki Polski but subtitled Polityczne i społeczne procesy kształtowania się narodu do początku wieku XIV [Political and Social Processes of Nation Forma- tion till the Beginning of the 14th Century]1. The subtitle was changed because the last volume concerns the formation of the Piast state and emergence of the Polish nation. Originally, there were to be three volumes. The first volume starts as follows: The notion of the beginnings of Poland covers two issues: the genesis of the state and the genesis of the nation. The two issues are closely connected since a state is usually a product of a specific ethnic group and it is the state which, subsequently, has an impact on the transformation of its people into a higher organisational form, i.e. a nation.2 The final stage of those processes in Poland is relatively easily identifiable. It was at the turn of the 10th and 11th century when the name Poland was used for the first time to denote a country under the superior authority of the duke of Gniezno, and the country inhabitants, as attested in early historical sources.3 It is more difficult to determine the terminus a quo of the nation formation and the emergence of Po- land’s statehood.

  • The Greek Catholics and the Orthodoxs in Contemporary Romania

    The Greek Catholics and the Orthodoxs in Contemporary Romania

    THE GREEK CATHOLICS AND THE ORTHODOXS IN CONTEMPORARY ROMANIA Victor Neumann The different religious identity of the Greek-Catholics is marked by the fact that they recognize the Pope as the supreme head of the Church. In contrast with the Orthodoxs they practice the Eucharist with yeasted and unyeasted bread; the Holy Spirit comes not only from the Father but also from the Son. Purgatory is the place of the pure like for the Roman Catholics. Their structure is the same as in the Roman Catholic Church, and it respects its discipline and dogmas; the hierarchy is established by papal rules. High functions are nomi- nated through papal decrees. Messes, fasts and holidays are like those of the Orthodox Church. Therefore there are different names for the Church such as Greek-Catholic, Catholic of Byzantine rite or the Church united with Rome. Among the divergent elements the most provocative has always been the submission to the Pope. Studies and articles that tackle the theme of the relations between the Orthodox and Greek-Catholic Church in Romania are dominated by the confessional and sometimes even by the political partisanship. Many of the articles and studies are signed by the representatives of the clergy. Historians, for whom one or the other of the churches has become an important issue, write some. It must be added that the majority of them put into value the documentary information (excerpts from the diocesan archives, from the old books, from the press of the time) important for the knowledge of the past but they do not rise to the level of an objective analysis.

Mégis meg kell fontolnunk azt az apostoli buzdítást, amelyet II. János Pál elénk tárt 2003. június 28- án, amikor az Ecclesia in Európa 1 kezdetű szinódusi záróbeszédében szólt hozzánk: soha el ne felejtődjék a reménység nagy jele, amelyet a ke- resztény hit oly sok tanúja alkotott a múlt században Keleten és Nyugaton egyaránt, akik „magukévá tudták tenni az evangéliumot ellenségeskedés és üldözés meghatározta helyzetekben, gyakran a vértanúság végső pró - batételéig”. 2 Miért ez a felszólítás, hogy ne felejtsük el a múlt század vértanúit? Nem teljesen egyértelmű-e az Egyházban elterjedt általános felfogás, hogy a vértanúk kiontott vére a kereszténység magva? Vagy talán kishitűek lettünk, hogy a mag csíráiban is ott hordozza a biztos termés jövőjét?

The present study, that take advantage of both recent history and unpublished archives sources, aims to reconstruct the internal and external círcumstances in which the trial occurred and the stakes of the judicial presentations. In the same time,the study seeks to argue the limits of destalinization in the middle of the sixth decade of the last century, illustrated by the violent answer of the Communist authorities to the movement of Greek-Catholics in the summer of 1956.
