(Orations of Enea Silvio Piccolomini / Pope Pius II; 20) 0 Oration “Sentio” of Enea Silvio Piccolomini (December 1452, Vienna). Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg 8th version 2019 1 Abstract In his capacity as guardian of Ladislaus the Posthumous, Duke of Austria and King of Hungary and Bohemia, Emperor Friederich III of Habsburg had by 1452 ruled Ladislaus’ Austrian lands for more than a decade. Growing dissatisfaction with his rule led to an Austrian rebellion with the aim of freeing Ladislaus from the emperor’s guardianship and transferring the rule of Ladislaus’ territories from Friedrich to a government based in Vienna. The rebellion was successful: Ladislaus was released from the emperor’s guardianship and moved to Vienna where a government was set up in his name. A number of issues were to be settled at a peace conference in Vienna in December, where the emperor was mainly represented by the seasoned imperial diplomat, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Bishop of Siena. Piccolomini was also a legate of the pope, Nicolaus V, who had supported the newly crowned emperor by issuing a monitorium to the Austrian insurgents. Piccolomini prepared an oration, the “Sentio”, to be held at the conference, vigourously defending both emperor and pope, but the oration was probably not delivered.

Altogether 801 orations (including papal responses to ambassadorial addresses) are extant today, though more may still be held, unrecognized, in libraries and archives. At a later stage the project was expanded to include ambassadors’ orations to the pope, of which about 40 are presently known. I do not, actually, plan to publish further versions of the present volume, but I do reserve the option in case I – during my future studies - come across other manuscripts containing interesting versions of the oration or if important new research data on the subject matter are published, making it appropriate to modify or expand the present text. It will therefore always be useful to check if a later version than the one the reader may have previously found via the Internet is available. I shall much appreciate to be notified by readers who discover errors and problems in the text and translation or unrecognized quotations. 12 September 2019 MCS 1 81 orations, if the ”Cum animadverto” is counted is a Piccolomini-oration, see oration “Quam laetus” [18], Appendix 3 Table of volumes in Collected Orations of Pope Pius II. 12 vols.

Context1 In his capacity as guardian of Ladislaus Posthumous, Duke of Austria and King of Hungary and Bohemia, Emperor Friederich III of Habsburg had by 1452 ruled Ladislaus’ Austrian lands for more than a decade. Growing dissatisfaction with his rule led to an Austrian rebellion with the aim of freeing Ladislaus from the emperor’s guardianship and transferring the rule of Ladislaus’ territories from Friedrich to a government based in Vienna. After the emperor´s return from his coronation voyage to Italy, the rebellion developed into a full-fledged war ending in a victory for the Austrians – despite papal intervention in favour of the emperor. The emperor’s guardianship over Ladislaus was terminated, Ladislaus came to Vienna, and a government was established in his name. A conference was called to settle a number of questions still outstanding, in Vienna in December 1452. Bishop Piccolomini participated in a double capacity as principal envoy of the emperor2 and legate of the Pope. At the conference, he intended to give the oration “Sentio”, in defense both of the emperor’s government of Austria and of the pope’s intervention on behalf of the emperor.3 4 It appears, however, that he was not able to deliver the oration as intended.5 Piccolomini himself, in his Historia Austrialis, mentions that a public meeting where he would give his speech was actually denied the imperial representatives by the leader of the conference, Margrave Albrecht of Brandenburg.

  • Bosnian Muslim Reformists Between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina
    Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Harun Buljina All rights reserved ABSTRACT Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina This dissertation is a study of the early 20th-century Pan-Islamist reform movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina, tracing its origins and trans-imperial development with a focus on the years 1901-1914. Its central figure is the theologian and print entrepreneur Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević (1870-1938), who returned to his Austro-Hungarian-occupied home province from extended studies in the Ottoman lands at the start of this period with an ambitious agenda of communal reform. Čaušević’s project centered on tying his native land and its Muslim inhabitants to the wider “Islamic World”—a novel geo-cultural construct he portrayed as a viable model for communal modernization. Over the subsequent decade, he and his followers founded a printing press, standardized the writing of Bosnian in a modified Arabic script, organized the country’s Ulema, and linked these initiatives together in a string of successful Arabic-script, Ulema-led, and theologically modernist print publications. By 1914, Čaušević’s supporters even brought him to a position of institutional power as Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Reis-ul-Ulema (A: raʾīs al-ʿulamāʾ), the country’s highest Islamic religious authority and a figure of regional influence between two empires.

  • Ragusa (Dubrovnik) and the 1590-91 Crisis1
    Dubrovnik Annals 14 (2010): 71-98 71 Original paper UDC 339.564(497.5Dubrovnik)ˮ15ˮ:94 338.1(4)ˮ15ˮ PER CONSERVARE LA CITTÀ TRIBUTTARIA ET DIVOTA: RAGUSA (DUBROVNIK) AND THE 1590-91 CRISIS1 STEFANO D’ATRI ABSTRACT: Within the broader context of the 1590 grain shortage crisis, for many historians the main food crisis that had struck Mediterranean in the sixteenth century, the author focuses on the continual problem of grain supply in the Republic of Dubrovnik. The pattern of government intervention is reconstructed not only in the face of famine, but also in relation to the system of food administration taken as a whole. The aim of this article is to highlight the political genius and commercial enterprise with which Dubrovnik managed to secure its demands for cereals through a privileged relationship with the Ottoman Empire, here defined as Ragusa’s ‘corn diplomacy’. Key words: famine, corn, shortage, Rupe granary, privileges, Levant, Albania, Republic of Dubrovnik, Ottoman Empire, sixteenth century The Mediterranean society, according to Braudel, “never lived under the sign of affluence”.2 Famine, in other words, represented “normality” in a general situa- tion in which “the Western man had to adapt himself to a constant dearth of food”,3 1 I wish to thank Nenad Vekarić, Director of the Institute for Historical Sciences of Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences in Dubrovnik for his hospitality and Vesna Miović, who first suggested I should write this article and whose esteem and constant help throughout all these years have been—and still are—of fundamental importance for my research.

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

Abstract This project looks at the career of St. Catherine of Siena and argues that without the relationships she had with her closest followers, who provided social connections and knowledge of the operation of political power, she would not have been able to pursue as active or wide-ranging a career. The examination of Catherine’s relationships, the careers of her followers, and the ways she made use of this network of support, relies mainly on Catherine’s extant letters. Most prior research on St. Catherine focuses on her spirituality and work with the papacy, which leaves out the influence of her local, political environment and the activities of her associates. This work examines Catherine’s place on Siena’s political landscape and within the system of Italian politics more generally.
