They can be traced from Novgorod birch bark inscrip­ tions through the primers under consideration to the last century. The printed primers continue a tradition of MS primers, of which few survive, although they were very widely used. These contained the alphabet and syllables the azbuka proper and sometimes other material as well. The surviving printed books contain a great deal of this other material, and it is according to this that they can be classified. They fall into three groups, the first following the text of Ivan Fedorov's azbuka of 1574, the second that of the Jevje primer of 1618 and the third consisting of a single book. The two main groups origina­ ted in West Russia and were later adopted in Muscovy as well. There is some degree of mutual influence. None of these primers is an original composition: there is evidence that Ivan Fedorov was using a text that already existed when he produced his primer, and certain elements in it already reflect the content of Western primers of the period. The Muscovite primers are strictly Church Slavonic, but the West Russian ones make extensive use of the vernacular, reflecting its different status in the two areas. Those from West Russia also reflect the continuing polemic between Orthodox and Catholic in this region. All of them seek to impart the official ideology along with the skills of reading and writing. The Russian bukvari of this period thus represent a distinct off­ shoot of the general Slavonic tradition, incorporating certain features from the West, and provide a good illustration of the flow of cultural influences over the centuries.

Moskva 1974 DAVID GUILD: Slavonic Loanwords in Lithuanian (1200-1569) 1.0. It should be stated that the dates ar~ in a sense,arbitrary. After 1200 the Grand Duchy began to increase its territory at the expense of the E. Slavs. The Treaty of Lublin in 1569 formalised the union of Poland and Lithuania under one dynasty, inaugurated in 1386 by the accession of the first Jagellonian, Ladislas Jogaila. This event had been signalised by the acceptance of Western Christianity. 1. 1. There were thus two sources for Slavic loanwords. E. Slavic, latterly White Russian, and Polish, mainly from the 14th century onwards. Slavic-Lithuanian relations were characterised by a cultural gap, cer­ tainly in the early period, between the Christian E. Slavs who already possessed an extensive literature and the Lithuanians who were both pagan and "ana I phabet i c", to coin a French term. 1. 11. At the beginning of our period it is possible to establish a system of vocalic correspondences which appear to be valid for three and a half centuries. This system (outlined below) based on a quanti­ tative rather than a qualitative opposition, is not affected by the shift to a stress system in both E. and W. Slavic. In other words Lithuanian for the most part substituted its own phonemes for Slavic vowels and consonants. Thus aekas 'Czech' would seem to be a comparat­ ively early loan on account of the velar stop /k/ in place of the Slavic spirant /x/. The appearance of new phonemes may be regarded as a sign of late provenance of~ word. 1.2. Vowel Correspondences in Baltic and Slavic 92 The table below shows the Latvian correspondences where they differ from the Lithuanian, othen.,ise only one form is given. Slavic Baltic 0 a a L. o; La. a e e e L. ie; La. e [a!] T 0 L. y; La. i 0 .1 y UI The operation of this system can be seen in the fol lowing examples: 2 L. knyga 'book'< OR 'K?)Hu2a,La gro;mata< OR 2pat,1oma;L. baznycia 3 'church', La baznrca < OR 6ox1:,11u142;L kuilys 'boar' < OR 1<:W11J The preservation of the system of vocalic correspondences is maintained even in the smaller number of loans which went the other way, cf. WR 4 ooU!lia 'builder' < L dnilide = 'carpenter', and this may indeed reflect the prevalence of wooden over stone architecture in both regions. 1.3. The distribution of the loans is mainly social and cultural. One finds, for instance, hierarchical terms such as L karalius 'king' < OR 1wpo.111:, and 'taxes' is L muitas < from OR .M!llmo. One finds some everyday terms such as L stalas < OR cm0.111J,yet the Lithuanians must have had tables: in Latvian it is galds. Again there is L sodas< OR cao~ though there is a synonymous Baltic form daFzas (La diirzs). In some instances there may be doubt as to provenance. Is L miestas 'town' a Polish loan word or is it E. Slavic? The modern Polish form miasto points to a more open value for the phoneme e while the L diph­ thong -ie- points to a closed value for e. An E. Slavic source seems indicated, and indeed mesto in the meaning 'town' was once more wide- (1) See further Jules Levin, The Slavic Element in the Old Prussian Elbing Vocabulary Cambridge 1974: 39 (2) OR is used as a blanket term for E. Slavic loan words between the 13th and 16th centuries. WR is used exclusively for White Russian loans. ( 3) Ju 1 es Levi n , op. c i t . : 38 (4) The existence of this word was brought to my attention by the Rev. A. Nadson. 93 spread. Evidence for a closed value fore can be found in Ukr Micmo. The reason for borrowing a word such as miestas may be sought in the development of a new social unit differing from the older fortified settlement represented by the L word pilis now 'castle' Latvian on 5 the other hand derived pilseta < pils 'castle' The L opposition miestas: pilis recalls the Pol. opposition miasto: gr6d. 6 The provenance of L burmistras from WR6yp.,~icrrrp seems likely, but it could also be said that the WR form has come through Pol. bW'mistrz. The choice of this seqence is dictated by the fact that the word was originally of German origin, and it was in Poland rather than in White Russia that German influence on urban organisation had the most direct effect. In the larger Polish cities there were German communities with special privileges: they were even subject to German law. This would seem to be the right moment to look at the contribution made by Polish to the Lithuanian lexical stock. 2.0. Polish loanwords in Lithuanian seem to reflect a merger of two societies. In the first place the Lithuanians accepted Roman Catholic­ ism from the Poles. The acceptance of a new religion meant a new hier­ archy. The Lithuanians had a word for 'priest' vaidila, but this was a pagan priest and was clearly not suitable. (Curiously enough vaidila came to mean an actor). The choice fell on Lithuanian kunigas. 5 Now kunigas is not a Slavic loan at all but a German one. The Polish influen­ ce lies rather in the equation kunigas:ksi~dz. Both words (the Polish is from the Cm Gmc *kunigaz) must at one stage have had quite a different connotation, i .c. 'ruler, lord' for Polish ksi~dz is cognate with R 'prince', As applied to priest they are merely translations of Latin dominus, the title of the priest throughout mediaeval Europe. Confirm- at ion of the more genera 1 meaning 1 lord 1 is to be found in La kungs which is a purely secular term. 2. 1.

En del av släkten var dock möjligen lokal lantadel; om det råder delade meningar i forskningen. I Frankrike hette släkten d´Escouperie och den förste kände stamfadern var Robert d´Escouperie (levde omkr. 1387), som uppges ha ägt gårdarna Château Russol och La Gardie i departementet Aude. Släktens svenska gren härstammar från köpmannen Jacques Scoperier (†1565) i staden Caunes nära Carcassonne i södra Frankrike. Hans son Ponce d´Escouperie invandrade till Sverige 1565 och antog namnet Pontus De la Gardie efter en av släktens gårdar i Languedoc. I sitt äktenskap med en illegitim dotter till Johan III blev han far till riksmarsken Jakob de la Gardie som "upphöjdes i grefligt stånd" 10 maj 1615 och introducerades 1625 på Sveriges Riddarhus med nr 3 bland grevar. Denna gren finns fortfarande. I Sverige fanns en gren som 1571 fick friherrelig värdighet men som utslocknade 1640. Samtliga ättemedlemmar, bortsett från stamfadern Pontus, härstammar via hans fru Sofia Johansdotter från hennes far, Johan III. Nuvarande (2007) huvudman för ätten De la Gardie är greve Carl Gustaf De la Gardie, f.1946 och bosatt i Linköping.

  • Historiens Närvaro, Historiens Möjligheter
    A RTE ET M ARTE : Historiens närvaro, historiens möjligheter »The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there », skrev den brittiske författaren L.P. Hartley på 1950-talet, och pekade i denna formulering på nutidsmänniskans bild av det förflutna som ett fjärran land, befolkat av främlingar som på avgörande sätt skiljer sig från oss, vårt sätt att tänka, känna och uppfatta omvärlden. Denna bild av historien och de människor som en gång levat har envist dröjt sig kvar och kommit att prägla vår tids syn på det förgångna som något en gång för alla avslutat. I sin kritikerrosade essäsamling The Past is a Foreign Country ägnar den amerikanske historikern David Lowenthal det förgångnas närvaro i nuet och minnets makt över glömskan en fördjupad stu - die och analys. Han visar på hur det historiska arvet och fascinationen för det förflutna i alla dess for - mer har kommit att inta en alltmer central roll i den västerländska kulturen. I museers bevarande av föremål och hela miljöer, i olika typer av traditionsskapande och nostalgisk minneskultur manifeste - ras vår samtids upptagenhet med det förgångna. Lowenthal hävdar att historien är på en gång en be - friande flykt från nutiden och en minnets boja som binder fast människor och styr deras handlingar. Ja, det förgångna har förmågan att påverka en hel nations framtid och utveckling. Men samtidigt på - pekar han att utan historiens närvaro i vår samtid vore vi ingenting – tomma och identitetslösa, för - lorade i tidens ström och i avsaknad av möjligheter att anpassa oss till en ständigt föränderlig tillvaro. I Riddarhusets verksamhet är historien i högsta grad närvarande i nuet – i det genealogiska upp - draget och i förvaltningen av riddarhuspalatset med dess unika samlingar, arkiv och föremål, stiftel - ser och domäner.

  • Förteckning Över De La Gardieska Arkivet Pergamentsbrev
    Förteckning över De la Gardieska arkivet Pergamentsbrev Per Stobaeus 2010 Universitetsbiblioteket, Lunds universitet 2 Inledning De la Gardieska arkivet i Universitetsbiblioteket i Lund innehåller drygt 600 pergamentsbrev från perioden 1481–1832. Pergamentsbrevsamlingen är av intresse för exempelvis historiker, ekonomhistoriker, hembygdsforskare, genealoger, heraldiker, ortnamnsforskare och filologer. Huvudparten av breven kom jämte andra delar av De la Gardieska arkivet till Lund från Löberöd vid 1800-talets mitt. 1973 gjordes ett tillägg av några pergamentsbrev som förvarats på Borrestad, varibland ett par brev från 1800-talets början. Ytterligare ett tillägg består av elva pergamentsbrev från perioden 1481–1693, vilka ursprungligen ingått i det Barnekowska släktarkivet på Vittskövle och senare förvarats på Skabersjö. De hör nära samman med andra pergamentsbrev i De la Gardieska arkivet, varför man år 1940, då de deponerades i LUB, ansåg att de borde införlivas med detta.1 I De la Gardieska pergamentsbrevsamlingen ingick ursprungligen åtskilliga medeltidsbrev, men dessa överfördes till Riksarkivet i Stockholm jämlikt Kungl. Maj:ts beslut av den 22 januari 1887.2 Kvar i Lund blev breven från perioden 1521–1799 (d.v.s. från Gustav Vasas regeringstillträde till Jacob De la Gardies giftermål), samt ett danskt brev från 1503 (beträffande medeltidsbrev i tillägget från Skabersjö se förteckningen nedan). De allra flesta breven i samlingen är från 1600-talet. Förlusten 1887 medförde tyvärr att vissa sammanhållna brevsviter uppdelades (se t.ex. Stenbock III samt Löwenwolde, Jacob von dem, nedan). Men med hjälp av Peter Wieselgrens förteckning över ”Permbref i DelaGardiska Archivet på Löberöd från 1358 till 1520” i DelaGardiska archivet 16, Lund 1842, s. 165 ff. är det möjligt att rekonstruera den ursprungliga omfattningen av pergamentsbrevsamlingen.3 Pergamentsbrev hör ju framför allt medeltiden till, men samlingen i De la Gardieska arkivet ger exempel på att man ända in på 1800-talet fortsatte att använda pergament för vissa viktiga brev.

  • Monika Reppo SLOW and DISCONNECTED?
    211 Monika Reppo SLOW AND DISCONNECTED? THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF 17TH–18TH CENTURY GLASS IN ESTONIA AND THE PROSPECTS OF INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH BASED ON A CASE STUDY OF PÄRNU COUNTY In 1628, a remarkable thing happened. Jost Wentzell started working as the first glass master in Hüti on the island of Hiiumaa in Estonia. Hüti has been synonymous with the early years of glass-making in Estonia as it is the first known site. All of the archaeological and archival data has been combined into a continuous narrative, but without archaeology we would only know that a glass furnace was supposed to have been built in Hiiumaa. Since no written records of Jost Wentzell’s activities have survived, we only have the excavation results to characterise the glassworks at that time. However, the excavation would have never occurred without information from the written sources about Hüti1. The interdependence of archaeological and archival research in the study of the Estonian glass industry is unmissable. Relying solely on DOI: https://doi.org/10.12697/BJAH.2019.18.06 1 Maks Roosma, Hüti klaasikoda.

And the same goes for the archival records. Unfortunately, no comprehensive chronology or historiography has been published on this topic. Thus, this article will provide much- needed background for future studies on pre-industrial glassworks with an analysis of the historiography of 17th–18th century glass in Estonia.

Polish-Lithuanian Mercenaries in the Service of Jacob de la Gardie. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. History, 2018, vol. 63, issue 3, pp. 718–728. https://doi.org/10.21638/11701/ spbu02.2018.303 In the early 17th century during Swedish-Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth war there were very few soldiers of the Swedish army that were originally subjects to Sigmund III. This uncommon situation occurred because of various reasons, most notably, the core character of the conflict which was caused not only by the dynastic quarrel between the Polish and Swedish line of Vasas but also by cultural, political and religious differences. As the war in Livonia continued, Polish public finance system proved itself more and more inadequate. That caused unpaid Polish-Lithuanian soldiers to form confederations in order to make the authorities pay overdue wages. This rouge soldiers’ crisis was exacerbated by a new war between the Commonwealth of Poland and Russia (1609–1619), which increased the crime and banditry in the Commonwealth of Poland. The authorities were forced to form military units — partly from the soldiers participating in the confederates — that were sent across the eastern border. Interestingly, at the same time a number of Zaporozhian Cossacks and Polish cavalrymen joined the army of Jacob de la Gardie, which occupied the area of Great Novgorod. Troops led by Henryk Dembinski, Jaromir Plecki and Stanislaw Wolski were a part of Swedish fighting force but — as the author remarks — might also have been involved in a larger false flag operation planned by Lithuanian intelligence in order to undermine financial potential of Sweden.
