Associate Professor Laris Borić, PhD, member Izjava o akademskoj čestitosti Ja, Mateja Jerman, ovime izjavljujem da je moj doktorski rad pod naslovom Liturgijski predmeti od plemenitih metala od 1400. do 1800. godine na području nekadašnje Pulske biskupije rezultat mojega vlastitog rada, da se temelji na mojim istraživanjima te da se oslanja na izvore i radove navedene u bilješkama i popisu literature. Ni jedan dio mojega rada nije napisan na nedopušten način, odnosno nije prepisan iz necitiranih radova i ne krši bilo čija autorska prava. Izjavljujem da ni jedan dio ovoga rada nije iskorišten u kojem drugom radu pri bilo kojoj drugoj visokoškolskoj, znanstvenoj, obrazovnoj ili inoj ustanovi. Sadržaj mojega rada u potpunosti odgovara sadržaju obranjenoga i nakon obrane uređenoga rada. Zadar, 17. prosinca 2020. Zahvale Ova je disertacija rezultat višegodišnjeg istraživanja na području nekadašnje Pulske biskupije, ali i prostoru cijelog istarskog poluotoka te Hrvatskog primorja, posebno otoka Cresa i Lošinja. Istraživački rad ne bi bio potpun bez boravka u nekoliko najistaknutijih specijaliziranih knjižnica za povijest umjetnosti (Fondazione Giorgio Cini u Veneciji, Kunsthistorisches Institut u Firenci i Bibliotheca Hertziana u Rimu) koji su ostvareni stipendijom École française de Rome i potporom nekoliko znanstvenih projekata voditeljice prof. dr. sc. Nine Kudiš i izv. prof. dr. sc. Damira Tulića. Posljednji projekt u nizu, započet 2017. godine, a kojeg financira Hrvatska zaklada za znanost, pod nazivom „ET TIBI DABO: naručitelji i donatori umjetnina u Istri, Hrvatskom primorju i sjevernoj Dalmaciji od 1300. do 1800. godine“, bio je velika motivacija za nastavak proučavanja primijenjenih umjetnosti, posebno zlatarstva kojeg se, nažalost, kao konzervatorica vrlo malo dotičem zbog daleko zahtjevnijeg i iscrpnijeg upravljanja promjenama na nepokretnim kulturnim dobrima u kulturno-povijesnim cjelinama, posebno u turističkim područjima. U tom kontekstu, prof. dr. sc. Nini Kudiš, a posebno mom mentoru, izv. prof. dr. sc. Damiru Tuliću, iskreno zahvaljujem na prijateljstvu te godinama nesebičnog pomaganja, potpori u učenju i stjecanju vještina neophodnih za dosadašnji znanstveni rad. Mentoru zahvaljujem i na pristupačnosti prilikom pisanja doktorske disertacije, u čemu mi je pomagao vrlo konstruktivnim prijedlozima i raspravama. Pri pisanju ovog rada vrlo su dragocjene bile i diskusije s kolegama, članovima Katedre za umjetnost ranog novog vijeka Odsjeka za povijest umjetnosti Filozofskog fakulteta u Rijeci, kao i korisni savjeti komentorice doc. dr. sc. Ane Mišković. Kolegama u riječkom Konzervatorskom odjelu, Ivanu Brautu, Andrei Manzoni i Lillian Stošić, kao i pročelnici dr. sc. Biserki Dumbović Bilušić, zahvaljujem na poticanju mog znanstvenog rada, kao i pomoći u organizaciji radnih obaveza tijekom posljednjih nekoliko godina doktorskog studija. Bez pomoći Ivana Brauta formatiranje ovako opsežne doktorske disertacije bilo bi daleko zahtjevnije. Duboku zahvalnost dugujem mojoj obitelji koji su podupirali moju želju za nastavkom studija te su ponekad i sudjelovali u mom terenskom istraživanju, a posebno se zahvaljujem Mihi Katiću na ljubavi, motivaciji i bezuvjetnoj potpori.

First I would like to thank two ofmy colleagues, Shay MacKenzie for his guidance, intellect, and editing skills, and Alan Goodman for his incredible insight and information on the Narai period. Additionally, I appreciate the assistance I received from Watcharapon Towtong, Sawanee Akarawattanamatee, and Suparat Rubusai ofthe Siam Society. Mr. Wibool Janyam from the Rajabhat Institute in Lopburi, made sure I met the necessary people and during my first trip to Lopburi took me around to see places Phaulkon would have visited. Jean-Claude Gerakis and Panagis Gerakis provided me with considerable information on the origins oftheir famous forbearer. This allowed insight into the period ofPhaulkon from a personal perspective. Kennon Breazeale, from the East-West Center, deserves thanks for imparting some ofhis knowledge and wealth of source material on me. Dirk van der Cruysse for his help with primary European sources regarding Phaulkon's background. I have benefited immensely from the support and patience ofmy teachers at the University ofHawaii.

  • EALRGA Newsletter No
    EALRGA Newsletter No. 61 (January 2013) France’s First Embassy to the Thais: Resources at the National Library of Australia [Abridged version of “Siam and the Sun King: France’s First Embassy to the Thais,” National Library of Australia Magazine, March 2013] Andrew Gosling, former Chief Librarian, Asian Collections, National Library of Australia France and Siam (Thailand) were allies in the late seventeenth century. The National Library has developed good holdings of original publications from this era as well as recent works in Thai, English and French. They cover links between the France of King Louis XIV (1638-1715) and Siam under King Narai the Great, who ruled from 1656 to 1688. Contemporary French and other foreign sources are particularly valuable as few early Siamese documents have survived the tropical climate, insects and war, particularly the Burmese sacking of Ayutthaya, the Siamese capital, in 1767. Louis XIV sent his first embassy to Siam in 1685-1686. An embassy then meant a visit by envoys to a foreign country, not a permanent presence there. Louis had several reasons for sending two ships filled with gifts, diplomats, missionaries and soldiers across the world. He and Narai wanted to counter the Dutch, the dominant European power in Southeast Asia. The French sought more trade with Ayutthaya, then a cosmopolitan commercial centre. Louis had also been advised, quite wrongly, that Narai was ready to become a Christian. France’s embassy failed to convert the king or improve trade, but has been called the best documented voyage of the seventeenth century. The Library holds no fewer than five published accounts by members of the mission.

    BIBLIOTECA UNIVERSITARIA DI GENOVA – PERCORSI TEMATICI Universalitas & Pervasivitas il costituirsi e diffondersi della S.J. e suoi echi (1540 - 1773) di A. Pisani Schede autori Attività missionaria Guy Tachard Born 1651 Marthon, France - Died 1712 (aged 60–61) Chandernagor, India - Jesuit missionary Guy Tachard (1651–1712), also known as Père Tachard, was a French Jesuit missionary and mathematician of the 17th century, who was sent on two occasions to the Kingdom of Siam by Louis XIV. He was born in Marthon, near Angoulême. In 1680, Tachard went to the Caribbean (Antilles) with Jean II d'Estrées. Tachard was involved in embassies to Siam, which came as responses to embassies sent by the Siamese King Narai to France in order to obtain an alliance against the Dutch.[2] First embassy to Siam (1685) Tachard was sent in 1685 with five other Jesuits under Superior Jean de Fontaney, on a first French embassy to Siam led by Chevalier de Chaumont and François- Timoléon de Choisy, and accompanied by Claude de Forbin. The objective of the Jesuits was to complete a scientific expedition to the Indies and China.[3] Enticed by the Greek Constantine Phaulkon, he returned to France to suggest an alliance with the king of Siam Narai to Louis XIV. The five other Jesuits Fathers continued to China where they arrived in February 1688: Jean de Fontaney (1643-1710), Joachim Bouvet (1656–1730), Jean-François Gerbillon (1654–1707), Louis Le Comte (1655– 1728) and Claude de Visdelou (1656–1737).[4] The two ships of the embassy returned to France with a Siamese embassy onboard, led by the Siamese ambassador Kosa Pan,[5] who was bringing a proposal for an eternal alliance between France and Siam.

  • The King of Siam's Eclipse
    1 Eclipses in Siam (now Thailand) History and Legends Astronomy and cosmological ideas in Siam (now Thailand) were greatly influenced by Indian religious beliefs and ideology but many local traditions have survived. For example the constellation of Ursa Major, which at 15 degrees north, dips partly below the horizon, is the Crocodile. The Thais established their country in the valley of the Chao Phraya river in the 13th century - about the same time of the Mongol expansion across Asia. The first capital was Sukhothai. A century later the kingdom had expanded further south to include Ayutthaya. By the 16th century when many Europeans followed the trade routes here, the capital city had moved down river to Ayutthaya (called Siam). The Chao Phraya valley is a fertile plain, but hot and steamy, and flooded in the rainy season. The traditional teak houses were built on platforms which kept them out of the floods and airy in the sticky heat. Both men and women kept their hair cropped short and wore the wrap-round sarong with a long scarf or jacket. Women sometimes wore both, or just the scarf draped to cover traditional Thai houses the bust. Men had a rather unusual decoration mentioned by Ralph Fitch, a merchant from London who was there in 1583: they inserted little gold (or brass or silver) bells in a certain part of their body. "The King sometimes taketh his out and giveth them to his noblemen as a great gift; and because he hath used them they esteem them greatly." According to Fitch: "…the women do desire them.

  • Siamese Mandarins on the Grand Tour, 1688-1690
    SIAMESE MANDARINS ON THE GRAND TOUR, 1688-1690 Michael Smithies* Abstract No less than four groups of Siamese 'mandarins' (the term given by Westerners to khunnang, nobles or court officials) were sent to France by King Narai between 1680 and 1688. Their function, and their fate, were varied. In this article, the first three missions are summarized, and the fourth, to France and Italy, which has been largely overlooked, is described in detail. The first group of Siamese mandarins to go to 1681 and was never heard of again. There were the West between 1680 and 1688 comprised the no survivors from this apparent shipwreck which ill-fated embassy led by the aged Ok-ya Phipat most likely occurred at the end of 1681.
