As editors, we would like to express our gratitude to all the contributors. We owe a special debt of thanks to Stafan Berg- wik and Linn Holmberg, who kindly agreed to write the concluding remarks. In developing the history of know ledge as a feld, we have beneftted immensely from discussions with a great number of scholars in Lund and beyond. Alongside our local colleagues, the external guests who have visited our seminar series have been particularly important in this endeavour: Jenny Beckman, Stafan Bergwik, Henrik Björck, Jonna Bornemark, Jens Eriksson, Victoria Fareld, Helge Jordheim, Tomas Hylland Eriksen, Orsi Husz, Tomas Kaiserfeld, Ellen Krefing, Elaine Leong, Kari H. Nordberg, Kapil Raj, Johanna Ringarp, Erling Sandmo, James A. Secord, Steven Shapin, Paul Tenngart, Johannes Westberg, and Christa Wirth. We would like to express our gratitude to the funding bodies that in recent years have helped us to develop the history of knowledge at Lund University: the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, the Swedish Research Council, the Crafoord Foundation, the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Teology at Lund University, the Ridderstad Foundation, the Erik Philip-Sörensen Foundation, the Åke Wiberg Foundation, the Ebbe Kock Foundation, and the Wahlgrenska Foundation. Karl Staaf’s Foundation, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Founda- tion, the Lars Hierta Memorial Foundation, the Längman Culture Foundation, and Roy and Maj Franzén’s Foundation have supported the publication of this book. Annika Olsson at Nordic Academic Press 7 forms of knowledge has, as always, been our supportive guide through the whole process; Charlotte Merton has, as always, been our meticulous copy-editor. We thank them all. Parallell in time with the publication of this book, the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK) is set up at the Department of History, Lund University, with us undersigned as director and deputy directors. Te centre will be an organizational representation of the scholarly activities that are taking place in Lund. Forms of Knowledge is the frst major publication that emanates from LUCK, but there are hopefully many more to come. Johan Östling, David Larsson Heidenblad, and Anna Nilsson Hammar 8 Introduction Developing the history of know ledge Johan Östling, David Larsson Heidenblad & Anna Nilsson Hammar Te history of know ledge is under rapid development. In the past few years, the number of scholars working in the feld has multiplied. While German and Swiss Wissensgeschichte emerged in the early 2000s, it has only been in the late 2010s that the feld has become a truly international and multilingual endeavour.1 Judging by the diversity of conferences, initiatives, and new specialized book series and journals, the future for the history of know ledge looks bright. It promises to be one of the most dynamic felds of historical scholarship in the 2020s.2 Crucial to these developments is the formation of new research clus- ters and centres. Te present volume, Forms of Know ledge, highlights the activities at one such hub: Lund University in Sweden. In doing so, we engage in the international discussions on the history of know ledge and demonstrate the feld’s potential to enrich historical scholarship. We have decided to focus our volume on forms of know ledge, which emanates from a joint commitment to a programmatically broad and fundamentally historical conceptualization of know ledge.3 As Sven Dupré and Geert Somsen argue, the history of know ledge should not be seen as ‘a mere expansion of the history of science’.4 Whereas science and scholarship certainly are of great interest, they do not necessarily reside at the core of our inquiry. For us, the history of know ledge is frst and foremost a social, political, and cultural history. Tis understanding of the feld has been particularly fruitful at the level of social interaction in the Lund hub. Te term ‘know ledge’ serves as an umbrella term, bringing together researchers with diferent back- 9 forms of knowledge grounds and research interests in a joint conversation. Te concept of know ledge has proved to be both suitably vague and sufciently inter- esting to unite researchers who are grappling with diferent periods, sources, and phenomena. However, questions about which the central concepts are, how we should comprehend them, and which methodol- ogies we ought to apply, remain answered in diferent ways by diferent researchers. Te rapid growth of the history of know ledge, at Lund University as elsewhere, has sparked a debate about whether the feld provides any- thing substantially new. ‘Do we need a new term for something many of us have already been doing, for years and years?’ Suzanne Marchand asks in a recent assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of Wissens- geschichte.5 However, in refecting on the feld, Stafan Bergwik points out that new scholarly labels and umbrella terms tend to give a feld its epistemological power, enabling collaborations and new undertakings. Moreover, they ofer professional opportunities for younger scholars, their supposed novelty catching the eye of funding bodies. Te inherent tension between high aspirations and the actual ability to provide new and original perspectives are, as Bergwik stresses, typical of new felds.6 Hampus Östh Gustafsson makes a similar argument when he under- scores that naming and labelling, while they may seem to be merely rhetorical constructs, nonetheless have real consequences for academic life and scholarly production. Hence, Östh Gustafsson insists, histori- ans of know ledge must refect on the genesis of their own feld and the forms it takes.7 In doing so, we must observe the tenet that know ledge is rarely truly original or new, for it is a continuous process that is locally and historically situated. However, what are the implications of this theoretical stance? As historians of know ledge, how can we take stock of the formation of our own feld? One consequence, which we would like to emphasize, is that our work, like that of past scholars, is a collective and communicative practice. It is a temporary and contingent labelling of research interests that makes them relevant points of discussion both in and beyond established scholarly communities. While each individual efort and its scholarly results must meet certain criteria—among which novelty and conceptual 10 developing the history of knowledge rigour are essential—it is hardly reasonable to hold an entire research feld to these standards. Te formation of a research area should not be confused with its individual research projects or programmes. Against this background, we do not see it as a problem that the his- tory of know ledge builds on a variety of research traditions and meth- odologies.

  • Studia Translatorica Vol. 10
    DOI: 10.23817/strans.10-28 Diana Cărburean Independent researcher/ Romania The Byzantine legal standard transposition strategies into the Romanian regulatory texts of the 17th century Abstract The Byzantine legal standard transposition strategies into the Romanian regulatory texts of the 17th century Unlike the Canon law texts available in the Romanian principalities – Moldavia and Wal- lachia – falling under the Slavic influence, the first legal acts which are subscribed to the secular law and which appear in 1646 [Carte Românească de Învățătură (en. Romanian Book of Learning) or Pravila lui Vasile Lupu (en. Vasile Lupu’s Code of Laws)] and in 1652 [Îndrep- tarea legii (en. The Law’s Rectification) orPravila lui Matei Basarab (en. Matei Basarab’s Code of Laws)] fall under the Greek-Byzantine influence. The present article aims to provide some information regarding the translation mechanisms applied by the Moldavian and Wallachian scholars of the 17th century who aimed at transposing the Byzantine Legal Standard to the everyday life of the two above mentioned Romanian principalities by means of fundamental procedures, such as “analysis (with the underlying meaning determination), transfer, restruc- turing, and testing” (Nida, 2004: 85) of the source message. The most precious information related to the translation process of those times is provided by the cases of untranslatability generated by the legal and terminological gap between the Receiver and the Transmitter. The identification and classification of these cases, but also the highlighting of the solutions the translator found to solve them, represent important steps in understanding the equivalenting process of two unequal legal systems that took place centuries ago in Eastern Europe, as illus- trated by the case of the two Romanian principalities and the Greek-Byzantine one.

  • Two Greek Revolutions
    TWO GREEK REVOLUTIONS Greek nationalism under the Turkish yoke was nourished and sustained from three sources. One, the purest, was the Orthodox faith: since the Gospel and most of the patristic writings were written in Greek, a good knowledge of Orthodoxy required a good knowledge of Greek and Byzantine history in which Hellenism, the patriotic belief in the greatness of the Greek nation, was linked inseparably with its confession of the Orthodox faith. This Greek Orthodox nationalism (with the emphasis on “Orthodox”) was to be found especially among the monks of Mount Athos. Another source was a natural desire to be liberated from the Ottoman yoke. The situation of the Greeks in the Ottoman Empire was very difficult. As time passed and Ottoman power weakened, persecution of the faith increased. “The rights of the patriarch,” writes Fr. Alexander Schmemann, “were gradually reduced to nothing; all that was left to him was the ‘right’ of being responsible for the Christians. In the course of seventy-three years in the eighteenth century, the patriarch was replaced forty-eight times! Some were deposed and reinstalled as many as five times; many were put to torture. The rebellions of the Janissaries were accompanied by terrible bloodshed. Churches were defiled, relics cut to pieces, and the Holy Gifts profaned. Christian pogroms became more and more frequent. In the nineteenth century Turkey was simply rotting away, but the ‘sick man of Europe’ was supported at all points by other nations in opposition to Russia,”1 the only real protector of the Orthodox in the Ottoman empire.

Novikov St. Petersburg State University, 7–9, Universitetskaya nab., St. Petersburg, 199034, Russian Federation For citation: Rudokvas, Anton D., Andrej A. Novikov. 2021. “On the application of Byzantine law in modern Bessarabia”. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Law 1: 205–223. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu14.2021.114 The article describes the application of Byzantine law in the region of Bessarabia which formed part of the Russian Empire from the early 19th century until 1917. The empire allowed the lo- cal population to apply their local laws for the regulation of their civil law relations. Due to historical reasons, these local laws were identified with the law of the Byzantine Empire which had already disappeared in 1453. The authors of the article provide a general description of the sources of Bessarabian law and then turn to case study research regarding the jurispru- dence of courts on the issues of the Law of Succession in Bessarabia. They demonstrate that in interpreting the provisions of the law applicable, Russian lawyers often referred to Roman law as a doctrinal background of Byzantine law. Furthermore, they did not hesitate to identify Roman law with Pandect law. Even though the doctrine of the Law of Pandects had been cre- ated in Germany on the basis of Roman law texts, it was far from the content of the original law of the Ancient Roman Empire.

  • Collecting for Russia's Apothecary and Botanical
    SEEDS OF EXCHANGE: COLLECTING FOR RUSSIA’S APOTHECARY AND BOTANICAL GARDENS IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES BY RACHEL KOROLOFF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John W. Randolph, Chair Professor Mark D. Steinberg Professor Richard W. Burkhardt Associate Professor Kelly O’Neill Abstract This dissertation follows the collection and cultivation of plants in the Russian Empire for medicinal and botanical purposes from the beginning of the seventeenth to the end of the eighteenth centuries. It focuses on the itineraries of collection and the spaces of cultivation established by herbalists, doctors, and naturalists in the employ of the Apothecary (Medical) Chancellery and the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. In doing so it investigates how methods of botanical collection, including specific itineraries, influenced the creation spaces of botanical cultivation, including gardens, collections of correspondence and regional Floras. This juxtaposition and analysis of the mutual influence between routes and gardens ultimately attempts to explore how mobility and space intersected with the production of natural knowledge in the early modern Russian context. The first chapter of this dissertation, “Travniki and the Chancellery,” details the seventeenth-century network of itinerant herbalists [travniki] who collected plants, flowers, roots and seeds seasonally for the Apothecary Chancellery’s pharmacies and gardens. The travels of the Chancellery’s travniki are contrasted with the trade in materia medica, which included medicinal plants as well as chemical medicines, found in the herb stalls [zeleinye riady] of Moscow’s trading quarters.

  • Pehr Kalm and the Social Imaginary in Eighteenth-Century Turku1
    The Professor and the Body Politic: Pehr Kalm and the Social Imaginary in Eighteenth-Century Turku1 Mathias Persson This article investigates the representations of society in a number of mid-eighteenth-century dissertations supervised by Pehr Kalm (1716−1779), a disciple of Linnaeus and a well-known professor of economics in Turku (Åbo), against the background of the strong ties that tended to bind early modern literati to the ruling elites. The article consists of four thematic sections, which examine how the dissertations conceptualized the body politic, the powers that be, the populace and the scholars. All in all, Kalm and his students adhered to a fairly traditional social imaginary, although their renderings of their own caste, the men of learning, as indispensable for progress and the common good foreboded a later, expert-centric era. Introduction The purpose of this article is to analyse how society was represented in a number of mid-eighteenth- century dissertations presided over by Pehr Kalm (1716−1779), a Linnaean disciple and renowned professor of economics in Turku (Åbo), against the background of the political and social bonds that tied early modern scholarship to the powers that be. Kalm took a keen interest in economic matters, which tended to occupy a salient place on the agenda of eighteenth-century Swedish men of letters, not least at the Royal Academy of Turku (Kungliga Akademin i Åbo, Turun akatemia), a hotspot for utility- oriented efforts to improve society and enhance the fatherland. Several historians have accordingly 1 Like most Swedish historians, the author of this article does not know Finnish; hence, there are some studies in that language that have not been used save for the occasional summary in English.
