István MAJOROS Bölcsészettudományi Kar, Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem Faculty of Humanities, Eötvös Loránd University Múzeum krt. 6-8, 1088 Budapest, Hungary [email protected] “The Vienna settlement of 1815 has been ranked with the Peace of Westphalia (1648), the Peace of Utrecht (1713), and the Peace of Paris (1919) as one of the four most significant international agreements in the history of modern Europe.” – writes Charles Breunig about the Congress of Vienna.1 The author is right, because the nineteenth century was more peaceful2 than any predecessor in the history of Europe due to the Congress of Vienna. After the Napoleonic Wars, the congressmen re-established the European balance of power for the stability and peace of the continent. By the help of the Holy Alliance and by the Quadruple Alliance3 the great powers guaranteed the measures accepted in Vienna and the political and the territorial status quo in Europe created by the Congress.4 The European balance of power was one of the principles of the settlement in Vienna represented first of all by Metternich.5 In the opinion of the chancellor of Austria, Central Europe represented the main element of the new settlement because he did not want to restore the Holy Roman Empire and he did not want to create a nation state in Germany or 1 BREUNIG, Charles: The Age of Revolution and Reaction 1789–1850, New York – London 1977, 121.

This personal crown was commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II. The goldsmith Jan Vermeyen crafted an object of exquisite quality at his Prague workshop. When Francis I proclaimed the Empire of Austria in 1804, the Rudolfine ‘house crown’ acquired a new constitutional function as the new Austrian Imperial Crown.

  • Lexicon of International Politics
    Lexicon of International Politics A. H. Rifai Berea College Dear Reader: This “Lexicon of International Politics” was compiled during the summer of 1987 and 1988, by A.H. Rifai, Professor of Political Science and two student assistants, Faye Napier and Lori Damron, both political science majors at Berea College. This reference work contains basic information on theories, concepts, treaties, organizations, acronyms, and names that are widely used in the field of International Politics. The collapse of the Soviet Union, the dynamics of European integration and the plethora of global changes over the past two decades made the revision of this work necessary. With the support of Berea College and the hard work and dedication of Patrick Lanham and Lisa Vaughn, both students of political Science, this task was realized during the summer of 1996. My thanks also to Aisulu Masylkanova for her help and hard work in 2004-2005 and to Matthew Young, my T.A. in 2015 for his suggestions and hard work. I would also like to express my appreciation to the Hutchins Library staff for their support and services and to Professor Michael Berheide for his encouragement and prodding. A.H. Rifai September, 2016 A Abdication: Renunciation of claim to a throne by a monarch. Absolute Monarchy: A system of government where all powers reside in the person of the monarch. The monarch’s will is the supreme source of law. Accidental War: A war resulting from either a technical failure or of a misperception in communication between parties.

  • Humanist Networks and Drama in Pre-Reformation Central Europe: Bartholomeus Frankfordinus Pannonius and the Sodalitas Litteraria Danubiana1
    Humanist Networks and Drama in Pre-Reformation Central Europe: Bartholomeus Frankfordinus Pannonius and the Sodalitas Litteraria Danubiana1 ágnes juhász-ormsby Memorial University of Newfoundland Les deux pièces de Bartholomeus Frankfordinus Pannonius (ca.1490 – après 1526, avant 1540) — Comoedia Gryllus et Inter Vigilantiam et Torporem Virtute Arbitra Certamen — sont les seuls textes humanistes dramatiques complets de l’Europe de l’est d’avant la Réforme. Publiés vers 1519 à Vienne, la comédie plautienne Gryllus et le débat moral classicisant opposant Vigilantia et Torpor, ont vraisemblablement été tous les deux présentés pendant la saison du Carnaval par des étudiants de Frankfordinus à Buda vers 1517. Dans cet article, on les examine dans le contexte du drame humaniste allemand, en particulier en lien avec la riche tradition théâtrale et intellectuelle de la Sodalitas Litteraria Danubiana et de son héritière, la Sodalitas Collimitiana, avec laquelle Frankfordinus a construit des liens solides lorsqu’il étudiait à Vienne durant les années 1510. Ses pièces laissent voir les préoccupations littéraires du milieu viennois, en particulier de l’humaniste suisse Joachim Vadian, et poursuivent la tradition dramatique promue par Konrad Celtis. Frankfordinus a adapté à son propos pédagogique les conventions dramatiques du milieu viennois pensées pour la cour, tout en intégrant des éléments du théâtre populaire. En transformant les formes traditionnelles du drame scolaire, Bartholomeus Frankfordinus n’est pas seulement devenu un acteur de la transition des traditions dramatiques médiévales vers les traditions dramatiques humanistes, mais est devenu également un précurseur du drame scolaire protestant de cette partie de l’Europe. he influence of Italian humanist drama reached east central Europe through Tintellectual networks associated first with the court of Sigismund (King of Hungary, 1387–1437, and of Bohemia, 1419–37; Holy Roman Emperor, 1433– 37) and later with that of King Matthias of Hungary (1458–90).
