    Malta and Gozo - Experiences of a study tour from 14th to 21st September 2019 Text and Photos: Hans-Rudolf Neumann Saturday, 14th September 2019 The morning flight from Berlin via Frankfurt Main to Malta with Lufthansa ran without any incidents. But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter. One two Warsaw and one to Frankfurt Main – the line on luggage security was more than 200 people and it was safe to ask the pilot again if this is the right plane when entering the plane. The on-board meal on the flight to Frankfurt consisted of a 30 g al- mond tartlet of a 65 mm size and a drink, on the connecting flight to Malta we had a honey nut bar and another drink.

  • Los Grandes Maestres Españoles De La Orden De Malta
    LOS GRANDES MAESTRES ESPAÑOLES DE LA ORDEN DE MALTA Óscar de Ascoz y Planes Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia I.- UNA ORDEN MEDIEVAL. DE JERUSALÉN A MALTA. LA FIGURA DEL GRAN MAESTRE. El 15 de febrero del año 1113, el Papa Pascual II promulgó la bu- la Piae Postulatio voluntatis. Con este acto se reconocía la existencia canónica de la orden del Hospital de San Juan de Jerusalén, comen- zando así una historia casi milenaria que llega hasta nuestros días. No eran aquellos tiempos unos momentos fáciles para la cris- tiandad: el siglo XI constituye un periodo clave en la evolución de lo que hoy se conoce como occidente europeo. El debilitamiento del principio romanista de autoridad provocó la anarquía, y contra la amenaza del orden social y de la estabilidad política se levantó la Iglesia: a través de una profunda reforma de sus estructuras internas procuró ocupar los vacíos de poder creados por el debilitamiento de la autoridad pública y, desde ellos, contribuyó a vertebrar de nuevo la sociedad. En este con- texto, el de una sociedad feudal que comenzaba por influencia de la Iglesia a cristianizar sus lazos de dependencia y a sacralizar el princi- pio de jerarquía, es en el que nacen, a principios del siglo XII, las más primitivas órdenes militares, entre ellas la orden de San Juan1. Los orígenes de la orden son conocidos y se deben a la trasmisión realizada por el arzobispo Guillermo de Tiro. Este prelado comienza narrando gráficamente cómo la zona de Tierra Santa, junto con Siria y Egipto, se hallaba en poder de los infieles y hasta allí acudía en pere- grinación un grupo de comerciantes italianos de Amalfi, ciudad vecina 1 Carlos de AYALA MARTÍNEZ, Las órdenes militares hispánicas en la Edad Me- dia (siglos XII-XV), Madrid, 2003, pp.

AN IMAGE OF THE HISTORIC SOCIAL ORDERS IN POLAND IN SACRAL GOLDSMITHERY Katarzyna Bogacka Faculty of Social Sciences, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, ul. Nowoursynowska 166 02-787 Warsaw, Poland Abstract This article discusses the symbolic meaning behind the decoration on Bishop Wilhelm Atanazy Kloske’s episcopal ring dating from the nineteenth century, which has been preserved in the treasury of the Metropolitan Cathedral in Gniezno. It is unique due to the miniature figures which support a large amethyst. The figures represent the four estates (or social orders) of the realm: the clergy, the commoners, the knights and the burghers/bourgeoisie. Recently, it has been pointed out they are modelled directly on the nineteenth-century figures in Gniezno Cathedral which support the seventeenth-century reliquary of St. Adalbert (Pol: Wojciech), the principal patron saint of Poland. The author also discusses other objects which may have inspired the decoration: nineteenth-century French rings, and the works of Baroque goldsmiths in Poland, and also points out that the source of these iconographic figures can be found in nineteenth-century art. A more detailed analysis of the meaning behind these figures brings to mind the idea of unity and the patriotism of a traditional society built on the estates of the realm as a force capable of standing up against the country’s denationalization by the partitioning powers. The owner of the ring made this idea come to fruition through his social activities.

  • Marriage, Inheritance, and Family Discord: French Elite and the Transformation of the Polish Szlachta
    Blackburn: Marriage, Inheritance, and Family Discord 2 WORLD HISTORY REVIEW / Summer 2004 MARRIAGE, INHERITANCE, AND FAmily DISCORD: FRENCH ELITE AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE POLISH SZLACHTA by Christopher Blackburn [M. Damon to M. Wisdom] As to philosophy, you should know that our present age is one of enlightenment. Along with English frock coats, philosophy has come into vogue. In the boudoirs of the most fashionable ladies, right next to embroidery hoops and face powder you will find volumes of M. Rousseau, the philosophical works of Voltaire, and other writings of that sort. —Ignacy Krasicki (1776) Several important themes permeate Monsieur Damon’s instruc- tions to his aristocratic pupil. Most significant is not that Poland was a part of the general European Enlightenment, but that Polish enlight- ened thought resided primarily within “fashionable” elite circles and was ultimately based on the writings of the French philosophes. The wholesale acceptance of French culture brought a clear and conscious change to the szlachta’s traditionally Sarmatian character, while at the same time the szlachta family was unconsciously transformed by the more subtle Western notions of kinship and affective individual- ism, a process that culminated with the reign of the last enlightened despot—Napoleon Bonaparte.2 The mentalité of the Polish nobility was recast in the eighteenth century as its membership embraced selectively certain aspects of both the Enlightenment and ancien régime France. The piecemeal acceptance of these ideas by the traditionally Sarmatian nobility led to the evolution of an ideology resembling Enlightened Sarmatianism—one that embraced formal education, individualism, and Western appearance, which coexisted with agrarianism, anti-urbanism, and devotion to the Church.3 Once again the szlachta displayed its paradoxical nature by Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2003 1 World History Review, Vol.

  • From Noble Dress to Jewish Attire: Jewish Appearances in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire
    Cornelia Aust From Noble Dress to Jewish Attire: Jewish Appearances in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire Abstract: This article examines the different styles of attire that had emerged by the eighteenth century among Jews in Poland and German-speaking lands. It ar- gues that Jews in both regions developed their attire from older styles of dress that had fallen out of fashion among German burghers and Polish noblemen, re- spectively. Nevertheless, the distinguishability of Jews and Christians and distinc- tions among Jews according to social status, gender, and geographic origin were never clear-cut issues. Picturing a Hasidic Jew in Jerusalem or New York today, with a long black coat, a silk or satin caftan on Sabbath, and a black (fur) hat, many believe that this or similar attire has been the typical dress of (East European) Jews throughout time.1 However, dress and appearance have always undergone continual change and are a rather fluid marker of identity and belonging. Though Jewish law traditionally prescribes that Jews be distinguishable from their non-Jewish neighbors, and Christian and Jewish authorities have since the thirteenth century explicitly stipulated distinctive dress, such normative prescriptions do not allow for the conclusion that Jewish men and women have always been recognizable by their dress. Likewise, the fact that Jews were sometimes forced to wear distinctive signs does not mean that they were other- wise invisible as Jews or could pass as Christians when not wearing a discrimi- natory sign.2 Nevertheless, by the end of the eighteenth century there seems to have been a clear sense of a “Jewish attire”.

  • The Sarmatian Portrait As the Pop-Cultural Symbol of Baroque Art in Poland1
    ‘Ribald man with a cranky look’. The Sarmatian portrait as the pop-cultural symbol of Baroque art in Poland1 M.A. Emilia Kłoda, M.A. Adam Szeląg Figure 1 Cover, Wprost, no. 44, October 2007. A bald-headed man with an exotic-looking moustache looks out at us from a magazine cover. The face, taken from a Baroque period portrait, is shown wearing a modern white-collar shirt. ‘How Polish is a Pole?’ the heading asks.2 Clearly, the ugly, round, bewhiskered face is meant to represent a stereotypical native of Poland (Figure 1). This cover of the popular weekly Wprost provides a perfect example of the use of a Sarmat figure in the twenty-first-century mass media. Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann observed that the Sarmatian idea of Poland is not just a simplistic vision of Polishness abroad, but also an image of the nation accepted and reproduced by the Poles themselves.3 Despite of its popularity, the term ‘Sarmatism’ still remains 1 This article is partly based on research enabled by the financial support of the Herder Institute of Historical Research on East Central Europe – Institute of the Leibnitz Association Marburg.
