Bras. Polít. Int. 58 (2): 65-79 [2015] Introduction The Holy See, as the governing body of the Roman Catholic Church, has been a major player in international politics for many centuries. It has survived many attacks and persecutions, and has remained recognized as the subject of international law and international relations in the contemporary world, which makes it unique among religious organizations. Throughout its long history, the Holy See has survived turmoil. First, in its very beginning, the Roman Empire persecuted Christianity, forcing the early Church to be a clandestine organization whose first leaders were either executed or incarcerated. Then, after the Church was recognized, its status significantly improved. In 754 the Donation of Pepin founded the Papal State, making the Bishop of Rome - now known as the pope - the ruler of the independent state. Still, the papacy faced a new set of troubles. Long lasting conflict with the Holy Roman emperors and a power struggle with the kings of France forced the Holy See to temporarily move its seat to Avignon. During its time in Avignon, the Church did not have dominance in European affairs as it did during much of the rest of the medieval period. The Age of Enlightenment brought even tougher times for the Catholic Church, and Pope Pius VII was even arrested and humiliated by Napoleon at the pinnacle of Napoleon’s military might.

  • Popes in History
    popes in history medals by Ľudmila Cvengrošová text by Mons . Viliam Judák Dear friends, Despite of having long-term experience in publishing in other areas, through the AXIS MEDIA company I have for the first time entered the environment of medal production. There have been several reasons for this decision. The topic going beyond the borders of not only Slovakia but the ones of Europe as well. The genuine work of the academic sculptress Ľudmila Cvengrošová, an admirable and nice artist. The fine text by the Bishop Viliam Judák. The “Popes in history” edition in this range is a unique work in the world. It proves our potential to offer a work eliminating borders through its mission. Literally and metaphorically, too. The fabulous processing of noble metals and miniatures produced with the smallest details possible will for sure attract the interest of antiquarians but also of those interested in this topic. Although this is a limited edition I am convinced that it will be provided to everybody who wants to commemorate significant part of the historical continuity and Christian civilization. I am pleased to have become part of this unique project, and I believe that whether the medals or this lovely book will present a good message on us in the world and on the world in us. Ján KOVÁČIK AXIS MEDIA 11 Celebrities grown in the artist’s hands There is one thing we always know for sure – that by having set a target for himself/herself an artist actually opens a wonderful world of invention and creativity. In the recent years the academic sculptress and medal maker Ľudmila Cvengrošová has devoted herself to marvellous group projects including a precious cycle of male and female monarchs of the House of Habsburg crowned at the St.

  • Hans-Erich Keller Saint Sylvester in La Chanson De Roland The
    Hans-Erich Keller Saint Sylvester in La Chanson de Roland The Rolandian matter never ceases to surprise scholars—not even the Oxford version, which has now been scrutinized for nearly one hundred fifty years. In this text, it is the second part in particular that yields increasingly more information about the period of the composition of the poem as we read it today, as well as its purpose. Such is the case with line 3746, which introduces the trial of Ganelon: "Halz est li jurz, mult par est grande la feste, / Dient alquanz del baron seint Silvestre," translated by Gerard J. Brault as "It is a holy day, the feast is very solemn, / Some say it is noble Saint Silvester's Day."1 No other version of the Roland contains this line that suggests a relationship between Saint Sylvester and the trial of Ganelon. The only scholar who has ever commented on this line is Brault himself. In volume I of his edition he suggests (p. 334) that "Saint Silvester's day (v. 3746) may have been determined by Bramimonde's baptism rather than by Ganelon's trial, which immediately precedes it," since in the Middle Ages Charlemagne was frequently associated with Constantine, and Saint Sylvester with the baptism of the latter. 2 While it is true that Charlemagne was often considered a second Constantine, a point to which we shall return later, it is first paramount to attempt to determine if Pope Sylvester I or his legend was ever linked to a legal matter that might 1 The Song of Roland: An Analytical Edition, vol.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Empires Reshaped and Reimagined: Rome and Constantinople, Popes and Patriarchs, 1204-1453 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Natalie Sherwan 2016 © Copyright by Natalie Sherwan 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Empires Reshaped and Reimagined: Rome and Constantinople, Popes and Patriarchs, 1204-1453 by Natalie Sherwan Doctor of Philosophy, History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Patrick Geary, Co-chair Professor Claudia Rapp, Co-chair This dissertation discusses the politics of conquest and the strategies of legitimization pursued by Latin, Greek and Slav contenders for hegemonic rule in the northeastern Mediterranean after the collapse of the Byzantine Empire in the wake of the fourth crusade. It reevaluates the relationship between the concepts of empire and Christendom as played out in the process of political realignment, and closely examines the ways in which the key actors claiming to represent these concepts - emperors, popes, patriarchs - fought or cooperated with one another in order to assert regional preeminence. ii The first part of the dissertation focuses on the tension between the Roman/Byzantine ideal of universalism, which entailed a sole holder of imperial power, and the concrete reality of several empires coexisting within the same geographical area. Chapters one and two provide a survey of the main theoretical issues encountered in the study of medieval empires, and an assessment of the relationship between Byzantine basileis, patriarchs, popes and Western emperors prior to 1204. Chapters three and four investigate the competing but interconnected ruling systems which emerged in the Balkans, the Aegean and Asia Minor after 1204, tracing their policies of war and appeasement until the recovery of Constantinople by the Nicene Greeks in 1261.

Volume 4, Number 2 13 II Pepin, Power, and the Papacy: The True First Holy Roman Emperor By Courtney E. Bowers Church and State have long found themselves intertwined in Western Civilization. The rise of the Roman Catholic Church precluded the importance of any other religion and created a juggernaut that rulers sought to subjugate to their will. After the fall of Rome, the Western World needed a new force in which to believe— a steadfast leader— and so the Church took up this promontory role. As such, the Church was one of the preeminent forces in shaping the medieval world and the lives of the people living under its complex and somewhat chaotic systems.1 The Popes were the leaders of this Catholic powerhouse and were gaining power not only as spiritual and moral leaders but also as visages of God’s temporal power upon earth.
