Medieval Biography Between the Individual and the Collective
Janez Mlinar / Medieval Biography Between the individual and the ColleCtive Janez Mlinar Medieval Biography between the Individual and the Collective In a brief overview of medieval historiography penned by Herbert Grundmann his- torical writings seeking to present individuals are divided into two literary genres. Us- ing a broad semantic term, Grundmann named the first group of texts vita, indicating only with an addition in the title that he had two types of texts in mind. Although he did not draw a clear line between the two, Grundmann placed legends intended for li- turgical use side by side with “profane” biographies (Grundmann, 1987, 29). A similar distinction can be observed with Vollmann, who distinguished between hagiographi- cal and non-hagiographical vitae (Vollmann, 19992, 1751–1752). Grundmann’s and Vollman’s loose divisions point to terminological fluidity, which stems from the medi- eval denomination of biographical texts. Vita, passio, legenda, historiae, translationes, miracula are merely a few terms signifying texts that are similar in terms of content. Historiography and literary history have sought to classify this vast body of texts ac- cording to type and systematize it, although this can be achieved merely to a certain extent. They thus draw upon literary-historical categories or designations that did not become fixed in modern languages until the 18th century (Berschin, 1986, 21–22).1 In terms of content, medieval biographical texts are very diverse. When narrat- ing a story, their authors use different elements of style and literary approaches. It is often impossible to draw a clear and distinct line between different literary genres. -

Robert Kurelić Pregledni članak UDK: 94(497.4)“11/14“:929.52 Celjski Pregled povijesti grofova Celjskih Više od stotinu godina otkada je Franz Krones objavio Die Freien von Saneck und ihre Chronik als Grafen von Cilli1 povijest ove slavne obitelji i dalje fascinira povijesničare i njihovu publiku. Što li je to što nas tako snažno privlači priči o dinastiji čija je prisutnost na pozornici velikih trajala jedva nešto više od stoljeća? Možda upravo činjenica da se u tom relativno kratkom vremenskom periodu njihov utjecaj na društvena i politička zbivanja osjećao ne samo u njihovoj neposrednoj okolini – na području današnje Slovenije i Hrvatske gdje se nalazila velika većina njihovih posjeda – već i u znatno širem regionalnom prostoru koji je sezao od jugoistočnih predjela Svetog Rimskog carstva, preko ugarsko-hrvatskog kraljevstva sve do srednjojekovne Srbije i Bosne. Zaista, za Celjske grofove, norveškog kralja-pustolova Haralda Hadradu ili francuskog viteza Engerarda de Coucya, moglo bi se prije reći da njihova povijest pripada domeni fikcije i pustolovnih romana nego stvarnim povijesnim događajima. Uzdignuvši se iz anonimnosti nižeg plemstva 1341. godine2 Celjski su u nepuno stoljeće i gotovo meteorskom brzinom dosegli gotovo sam vrh srednjovjekovne hijerarhije, te skoro i zasjeli na njega prije negoli su, na način koji nalikuje Shakespearovim tragedijama, sišli sa 1 Franz Krones v.

Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Regard to the People's/Socialist
genealogy Article Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Regard to the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia until 1991 Jovan Jonovski Macedonian Heraldic Society, 1000 Skopje, North Macedonia; [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +389-70-252-989 Abstract: Every European region and country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. Due to historical, as well as geographical factors, there is only a small number of coats of arms and a developing knowledge of art, which make this paper’s aim feasible. This paper covers the earliest preserved heraldic motifs and coats of arms found in Macedonia, as well as the attributed arms in European culture and armorials of Macedonia, the кing of Macedonia, and Alexander the Great of Macedonia. It also covers the land arms of Macedonia from the so-called Illyrian Heraldry, as well as the state and municipal heraldry of P/SR Macedonia. The paper covers the development of heraldry as both a discipline and science, and the development of heraldic thought in SR Macedonia until its independence in 1991. Keywords: heraldry of Macedonia; coats of arms of Macedonia; socialist heraldry; Macedonian municipal heraldry 1. Introduction Macedonia, as a region, is situated on the south of Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Citation: Jonovski, Jovan. 2021. Europe. The traditional boundaries of the geographical region of Macedonia are the lower Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Néstos (Mesta in Bulgaria) River and the Rhodope Mountains to the east; the Skopska Crna Regard to the People’s/Socialist Gora and Shar mountains, bordering Southern Serbia, in the north; the Korab range and Republic of Macedonia until 1991. -
