A year before that, the ICA-SUV had welcomed folklore research archives into its constituencies, thus, a logical and meaningful choice was to focus the meeting in Latvia on the folklore archives (or, in the broader sense, tradition archives) and archival methodology regarding the intangible cultural heritage. The conference Cultural Heritage Materials–University, Research and Folklore Archives in the 21st Century was organized in cooperation with the National Archives of Latvia and the Archives of Latvian Folklore, Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art of the University of Latvia. The topics of the conference offered for further debate were the following: (1) cultural heritage materials: foundations and definitions; (2) born digital materials—appraisal and processing for small archives; (3) description and use of archives—Records in Contexts (RiC) standard; and (4) respectful stewardship and engagement with creator communities. A wide variety of theoretical and practical issues as well as relevant case-study experiences were discussed in 17 papers presented by researchers and archivists. Both folklore and ‘traditional’ archivists provided their intellectual contribution to the debate. This issue of the journal Letonica is a collection of articles based on the papers presented at the ICA-SUV 2017 Conference in Riga. Unfortunately, not all the presentations have turned into research articles. The contributions are of different scopes and lengths, respectively, along with scrutinized academic articles, there are others which are written in a more report-like style. They are arranged in alphabetical order by the authors’ names. Harry Bawono (Indonesia) addresses the question of the role the institutional archives have in protecting and preserving traditional knowledge and reveals the topic through the case-study of Indonesia. The joint article ofFlavio Carbone and Francesca Nemore (Italy) reveals the recent discoveries they have made while examining the archive of the Italian paleographer and diplomat Vincenzo Federici (1871–1953). Bryan Giemza (USA) illuminates the complex set of privileges and the challenges of the community-driven archives which he metaphorically compares to gardens. He presents the model of inter- course between community and institutional archive practiced at the Southern Historical Collection, a division of Wilson Special Collections Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Lauri Harvilahti (Finland) discusses the contextual paradigm in standardization at the tradition archives. The Records in Contexts and the Finnish 8 Foreword Conceptual Model for archival description is at the centre of attention in the article by Pekka Henttonen and Jaana Kilkki (Finland). The RiC Conceptual Model is discussed also in an article by Karsten Kühnel (Germany) who questions the concept of authenticity in describing archival materials. Based on the example of Thomas Whittemore’s and the Byzantine Institute’s

  • Town Archives and Historiographic Notes
    Between Public and Secret: Town Archives and Historiographic Notes Juhan Kreem (Tallinn) Common history is one of the important features of the urban public. Even when the history of a community is not explicitly written down, there are the stories, interpretations, and legends which cement the urban identity and self-awareness. This kind of a public urban sense of history may be easily pos- tulated; it is, however, often difficult to establish the mechanisms of its forma- tion and transferral in the Middle Ages. There has been a kind of oral tradition, there are different commemorative monuments, and so on. Among the most ob- vious means of recording and transferral of common past are urban history writing and collections of the town archives. Urban history writing is a complex late medieval phenomenon, mostly known from the Italian and German contexts.1 It is very variable in its form. There are chronicles in a proper sense: that is, more or less consistent narratives of the past and contemporary events. There are also more heterogeneous histo- riographic notes (Aufzeichnungen) scattered in different town records or col- lected later from these records. Also the audience of this history writing has been very different. The chronicles were intended for the widest possible public and appeared quite early in print. There are also all kinds of shorter historio- graphic notes, which were mainly intended for the use of the town council. Sometimes it has been explicitly underlined that they are not for the wider pub- lic, that is secret (hemlik).2 The notion of public archives is of course modern.

  • 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia
    Madis Maasing 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia 17.1 Introduction At the beginning of the sixteenth century, political rhetoric in Livonia was shaped by the threat posed by an alien power: Following a significant deterio- ration in the relations between the Catholic Livonian territories and their mighty Eastern Orthodox neighbour – the Grand Duchy of Moscow – war broke out, lasting from 1501 to 1503, with renewed armed conflict remaining an immi- nent threat until 1509. During this period of confrontation, and afterwards, the Livonians (i.e., the political elite of Livonia) fulminated in their political writ- ings about the gruesome, schismatic, and even infidel Russians, who posed a threat not only to Livonia, but to Western Christendom in general. In the Holy Roman Empire and at the Roman Curia, these allegations were quite favoura- bly received. Arguably, the Livonians’ greatest success took the form of a papal provision for two financially profitable anti-Russian indulgence campaigns (1503–1510). For various political reasons, the motif of a permanent and general ‘Russian threat’ had ongoing currency in Livonia up until the Livonian War (1558–1583). Even after the collapse of the Livonian territories, the Russian threat motif continued to be quite effectively used by other adversaries of Mos- cow – e.g., Poland-Lithuania and Sweden. I will focus here first and foremost on what was behind the initial success of the Russian threat motif in Livonia, but I will also address why it persisted for as long as it did. A large part of its success was the fact that it drew upon a similar phenomenon – the ‘Turkish threat’,1 which played a significant role in the political rhetoric of Early Modern Europe, especially in south-eastern 1 This research was supported by the Estonian Research Council’s PUT 107 programme, “Me- dieval Livonia: European Periphery and its Centres (Twelfth–Sixteenth Centuries)”, and by the European Social Fund’s Doctoral Studies and Internationalization Programme DoRa, which is carried out by Foundation Archimedes.

  • Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic
    Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic by Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule 2019 Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2019 Abstract The polities of the sixteenth-century Baltic competed and cooperated with one another and with local power groups in fluctuating patterns of rivalry and expedient partnership. Mercenarism thrived in this context, as early modern governments were seldom equipped with the fiscal and logistical tools or the domestic military resources needed to wholly meet the escalating challenges of warfare, while mercenaries themselves were drawn to a chaotic environment that afforded opportunities for monetary gain and promotion into the still- coalescing political elites of the region’s emerging powers. This study sits, like the mercenary himself, at the intersection of the military, the economic, the social, and the political. Broadly, it is an analysis of mercenaries in Livonian and Swedish service during the so-called Livonian War of 1558 to 1583. Mercenaries are examined as agents of the polities for whom they fought and as actors with goals of their own, ambiguously positioned figures whose outsider status and relative independence presented both opportunities and challenges as they navigated the shifting networks of conflict and allegiance that characterized their fractious world. The aims of this study are threefold. The military efficacy of Western and Central European professional soldiers is assessed in an Eastern ii European context, problematizing the notion of Western military superiority in a time of alleged military revolution.

  • Anu Mänd (Tallinn)
    BEAVER TAILS AND ROASTED HERRING HEADS: FAST AS FEAST IN LATE-MEDIEVAL LIVONIA Anu Mänd (Tallinn) Fast and feast – this pair of words sounds well and makes a good book ti- tle.1 Fast and feast (in the Middle Ages) are usually treated as contrasts, as no- tions that oppose each other, that exclude each other. What I intend to do in this essay is to demonstrate how fast and feast were sometimes combined. In order to do so, I shall examine cases where a festive occasion took place in the course of a fasting period, particularly Lent.2 The relations between fast and feast in the Middle Ages have been studied before. A rightful question has been if fast, the very idea of which is self-restric- tion and abstinence, in practice meant any self-restriction? The answer to this largely depends on the social, temporal, and regional context. It is clear that one’s eating (and fasting) habits and possibilities depended on one’s status, po- sition, wealth, health, age, and gender, and that, in general, the fasting regula- tions became less strict in the course of time. It has been shown that for prosper- ous people, fasting periods meant above all an opportunity to consume extraor- dinary and expensive foodstuffs, and that this helped to satisfy their need for (self-)representation.3 This was true for fast days in general; however, my aim is to demonstrate that it was also no problem to arrange lavish feasts during Lent and other periods of abstinence, and, at the same time, to formally break no fasting rule imposed by the Church.

  • Liivimaa Maapäev Wolter Von Plettenbergi Ajal (1494–1535)*
    Ajalooline Ajakiri, 2008, 1/2 (123/124), 45–88 Liivimaa maapäev Wolter von Plettenbergi ajal (1494–1535)* Pärtel Piirimäe Vana-Liivimaa riikluse lahtimõtestamisel on võtmetähendusega maapäeva institutsiooni analüüs. Läti ajaloolane Ilgvars Misāns, üks Liivimaa seisus- like kogunemiste paremaid tundjaid, on tabavalt öelnud, et just tänu maa- päevale saame kõnelda Liivimaast kui “ühtsest poliitilisest organismist”.1 Tõepoolest, maapäev oli ainus institutsioon, mis ühendas kõiki Liivimaa maaisandaid ja seisuslikke korporatsioone, mistõttu ilma maapäevata ei saaks kindlasti kõnelda Liivimaa ühtsusest poliitilises mõttes. Samas ei ole historiograafias selgeks vaieldud, mida Liivimaa kui poliitiline organism endast täpsemalt kujutas. Kaks äärmuslikku vastusevõimalust on sõnasta- nud baltisaksa ajaloolane Heinz von zur Mühlen oma küsimusega, kas 16. sajandi Liivimaa oli “Staatenbund” või “Ständestaat” – riikide liit või sei- suslik riik? Siinkohal on tarvilik märkida, et niimoodi sõnastatuna on see küsi- mus ilmselgelt anakronistlik, kuna sedalaadi lähtumine uusaegsest, suve- räänsusprintsiibil põhinevast riigimõistest on hiliskeskaja ja varauusaegse poliitilise struktuuri analüüsiks ebasobiv. Eelmodernsed riiklikud moo- dustised olid mitmetahulised ja keerukad, koondades sageli enda alla erinevatel tingimustel liidetud ning väga erineva integratsiooniastmega seotud osiseid.2 Nii on ju Liivimaa puhul veel eraldi probleemiks seotus * Artikkel on valminud sihtfinantseeritava teadusteema SF0180040s08 toetusel.

  • Fishponds in the Baltic States Historical Cyprinid Culture in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
    CHAPTER 6 Fishponds in the Baltic States Historical Cyprinid Culture in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania Madeleine Bonow, Stanisław Cios and Ingvar Svanberg The three Baltic States – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – are currently among the smallest aquaculture producing countries in the European Union (Eurostat 2011: 142). The main species produced in Estonia is rainbow trout, Oncor- hynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792), while the common carp, Cyprinus carpio, is the main species in Latvia and Lithuania. So far, there has been very little research into the history of fishpond culture in the region that today constitutes the Baltic States. However, the cultivation of cyprinids in ponds in this area can be traced to as far back to medieval times. As well as the common carp, the crucian carp, Carassius carassius, tench, Tinca tinca, and, more recently, during the Soviet-forced annexation, the Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio, have also been farmed. The latter species was introduced into the Baltic States in the late 1940s (Ojaveer, Pihu and Saat 2003: 231; Vetemaa et al. 2005; Aleksejevs and Birzaks 2011). Undertaking research across the Baltic region is complicated by the fact that the available sources are in many different languages, which is a consequence of the region’s turbulent political history. Different rulers have conquered the area, and national borders have shifted numerous times. The present day borders of the three Baltic states of interest to this study emerged with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, when they reclaimed independence. The historical establishment of pond culture in the Baltic territories is highly intertwined with the earlier monastic culture and feudal structures.
