    BÜRGERHÄUSER IN SALZBURG Editorial Geschichten hinter der Geschichte Die Auszeichnung „Weltkulturerbe“ wurde der Altstadt von Salzburg im Jahr 1996 von der UNESCO verliehen. Kirchliche und weltliche Bauten aus vielen Jahrhunderten, an beiden Ufern der Salzach gelegen und von den Stadtbergen umrahmt, bilden das einzigartige Salzburger Welterbe-Ensemble; fast tausend Gebäude mit ihrer Historie vom Mittelalter bis Heute gehören dazu. Hinter den Fassaden dieser Häuser stecken oft erstaunliche Geschichten, die beweisen, dass Tradition höchst lebendig ist - und immer schon in Bewegung war: Das kulturelle Erbe ist zugleich Teil unserer Gegenwart, und der sorgsame Umgang damit prägt unser Selbstverständnis als Stadt. Ich lade Sie herzlich ein, das Salzburger Weltkulturerbe im Heute zu erleben und auf den folgenden Seiten die „Geschichten hinter der Geschichte“ zu entdecken! The Old Town of Salzburg was granted the distinction “World Cultural Heritage” in 1996 by the UNESCO. Religious and secular buildings from various centuries on both sides of the Salzach, framed by the cities mountains constitute the unique World Heritage ensemble, amongst them up to thousand buildings with their history from the medieval times to this day. Surprising stories hide behind their facade, which show tradition is alive and has always been in motion. Our cultural heritage is also part of our present and treating it with care is important to us. I invite you cordially to experience the Salzburg World Heritage today and discover the “stories behind the story”.

Forty Episcopalian men and women from around the country gathered for this very special "Benedictine Experience" inspired by the book, "Benedict's Dharma," in historic New Harmony, Indiana. Join Sister Mary Margaret Funk, OSB, executive director of MID (Monastic Inter-religious Dialogue), Kusala Bhikshu a Buddhist monk, and Mr. Karl Peterson a specialist in early Christian music as they guide participants through a week-long Benedictine Experience. In Benedict's Dharma the book, a Zen priest Norman Fisher, meditation teacher Joseph Goldstein, professor Judith Simmer-Brown, and Yifa, a nun of the Chinese Buddhist tradition, flesh out The Rule of Saint Benedict, which has guided the organization and daily life of the Western Christian monastic tradition since the ninth century. Time after time, these Buddhists find in The Rule of Saint Benedict, which is included in its entirety, points that resonate with the their own experiences--points such as an emphasis on reverence, a pragmatic mindset, and the need for hard work and practice.

  • Remarks on Early Medieval Legal Charters —
    1216-2574 / USD 20.00 ACTA JURIDICA HUNGARICA © 2009 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest 50, No 3, pp. 293–309 (2009) DOI: 10.1556/AJur.50.2009.3.4 TAMÁS NÓTÁRI Remarks on Early Medieval Legal Charters – The Legend of “dux Ingo” and his “carta sine litteris” Abstract. Enea Silvio Piccolomini in his work entitled De Europa written in 1458, tells an interesting story defined as a legend in terms of genre about a duke called Ingo, who lived during the reign of Charlemagne. This narrative claims that in 790 dux gentis Ingo held a feast for the inhabitants of his province where food was served to the peasants allowed to appear before him in golden and silver bowls, while to the dignitaries standing further away from him in bowls made of clay. The researchers’ attention is deservedly raised by the query how come that this parabolical story with biblical tone was included in Enea Silvio’s work; if it had been borrowed who the auctor might have been he borrowed it from. The answer seems to be very simple: from the Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum drafted regarding the lawsuit proceeded against Methodius. In the case narrated in the Conversio Ingo sent a charter or much rather a parchment without any writing, or letters on it (carta sine litteris), which provided his legate with sufficient authenticity to demand obedience from the people. In this study–after having compared the two narratives and outlined the place of De Europa in Enea Silvio Piccolomini’s oeuvre and the circumstances of the drafting and tendencies of the Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum–the author attempts to answer the following questions.

  • Pope Gregory X and the Crusades
    1 POPE GREGORY X AND THE CRUSADES A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE SCHOOL OF HISTORY AT QUEEN MARY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON BY PHILIP BRUCE BALDWIN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. THOMAS ASBRIDGE 2 FOR MY PARENTS 3 ABSTRACT This study examines the crusading movement during the reign of Pope Gregory X in the latter part of the thirteenth century, before the Latin presence in the Levant came to an end. It seeks to demonstrate the important position of this little-known pope, who formed the bridge between what can now be seen as two separate eras in the crusading period, namely, the era of the traditional passagium generale, and the ‘new’ era of the passagium particulare. To do this, it will study Western and Muslim sources to understand the condition of the Holy Land during Gregory’s pontificate to see the effect it had on the manner in which he organised his crusade, using both traditional and ‘new’ methods. By drawing on sources from crusading in Iberia, it will show that Gregory approached the crusade flexibly, and was not, as commonly described by historians, wholly obsessed with the Holy Land. It also seeks to dispel one of the more popular myths surrounding Gregory, which is that he wanted to change the government of the kingdom of Jerusalem by putting Charles of Anjou in charge there. A study of the Angevin chancery records – little used by crusade historians – will demonstrate that it was not Gregory’s idea, but rather Charles’ own. Finally, using Gregory’s papal registers and chronicle evidence, this study will attempt to imagine the crusade that would have occurred had Gregory not died prematurely.

  • The Sound of Music” (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Julia Hirsch (Guest Post)*
    “The Sound of Music” (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Julia Hirsch (guest post)* “The Sound of Music” (1965) “The Sound of Music” remains one of the most popular American movies of all time and its musical compositions have become an iconic part of our American culture. The story of “Music’s” heroine, Maria von Trapp, has had many iterations. First, of course, was the real life of a spirited, rebellious and deeply complicated woman named Maria von Trapp. Orphaned at a young age, Maria became the ward of an abusive uncle where she rebelled by joining the Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg, Austria. Maria’s athletic free spirit, however, didn’t mix with a staid traditional convent in which the nuns hadn’t looked out a window in 50 years! As a diversion, Maria was sent to the home of retired naval captain, Georg von Trapp, to be governess to his bedridden daughter. Soon Maria and the Captain fell in love and married. Maria became mother to his seven children, and she and the Captain had three more children of their own and, discovering that the family naturally harmonized together, Maria convinced them all to compete in singing festivals around Salzburg and Europe where they became well known as the “Trapp Family Singers.” Then Hitler invaded Austria, and the Captain was ordered to return to naval service. Unable to work under the Third Reich, the Captain and Maria, with their ten children in tow (one in utero), escaped Austria and eventually moved to America where they continued their singing career.
