Apari]ia primului volum din Caietele OBSS suscit@ }i va suscita diferite ^ntreb@ri, ^n func]ie de informarea, cultura }i inteligen]a cititorilor. Scopul nostru este exprimat limpede: „Jesus Christus regnare volumus”, una din devizele preferate ale Sf. Pius al X-lea († 1914), Ap@r@tor }i Apostol al Tradi]iei. Jesus Christus, Iisus Hristos: nu doar Iisus, }i nu doar Hristos. Dup@ cum afirm@ r@spicat defini]ia dogmatic@ a Sacrosanctului }i Ecumenicului Conciliu din Calcedonia (451 d.Hr.): „Urm$nd Sf. P@rin]i, ^n umanitate noi ^nv@]@m s@ se m@rturiseasc@ unul }i acela}i Fiu, Domnul Nostru Iisus Hristos, perfect ^n divinitatea Lui }i perfect ^n umanitatea Lui, Dumnezeu adev@rat }i Om adev@rat, format din suflet ra]ional }i trup, consubstan]ial cu Tat@l prin Divinitate, }i consubstan]ial cu noi prin umanitate, asemenea ^n toate cu noi, afar@ de p@cat, n@scut din Tat@l ^nainte de to]i vecii dup@ divinitate, iar aceste vremuri din urm@, pentru noi }i pentru a noastr@ m$ntuire, n@scut din Fecioara Maria, Maica lui Dumnezeu, dup@ umanitate, unul }i acela}i Hristos domn unul n@scut; de-a fi recunoscut ^n dou@ naturi, neconfundate, imuabile, ne^mp@r]ite }i neseparate... form$nd o unitate ca persoan@ }i ipostaz@”.2 1. Guillaume, Apollinaire – Alcools, Zone, 1912, apud Ols, OP Daniel – Le Cristologie contemporanee e le loro posizioni fundamentali al vaglio della dottrina di S. Tommaso, Pont. Accad. di S. Tommaso, Libreria Edit. Vaticana, 1991, p. 198. 2. Conciliorum Oecumenicorum Decreta – Ediz. Dehoniane Bologna, 1991, p. 85-86. 6 . Nu un simplu Iisus, rabin, sau profet sau taumaturg sau ^nv@]@tor al sec. I al erei noastre. Nu doar Hristosul-Mesia, titlu r$vnit }i uzurpat de diver}i agen]i tenebro}i, ce preg@tesc drumul Anticristului. Ci pur }i simplu Iisus Hristos, Unica Persoan@, Om adev@rat }i Dumnezeu adev@rat, ^n care Eternitatea s-a ^mbr@]i}at cu istoria, iar Transcedentul a s@rutat Imanentul. Cel care murind }i ^nviind pentru noi, ne-a chemat la Banchetul Eternit@]ii }i al ^ndumnezeirii. A disocia cele dou@ nume ^nseamn@ a l@sa c$mp deschis minciunii, indiferent dac@ ea este vehiculat@ sub forma teoriilor new-age, a pseudo-spiri- tualismului, a doctrinelor neo-gnostice }tiin]ifice, sau a cristologiilor eretice contemporane. At$t Sf. Justin Popovici (1894-1979), gigant al teologiei r@s@rite- ne, c$t }i teologii tradi]ionali apuseni (^l citasem pe Pr. Daniel Ols, OP) au demonstrat c@ noile erezii cristologice nu fac dec$t s@ le maimu]@reasc@ pe cele vechi: docetismul, marcionismul, arianismul, nestorianismul, toate acestea se reg@sesc }i azi, profit$ndu-se de disocierea lui Iisus de Hristos.3 Ne vine ^n minte o butad@ a reputatului apologet contemporan, Vittorio Messori: „Le posizioni eretiche sono come quelle erotiche: poche e ripettitive”. Sf. Justin Popovici }i Sf. Toma d’Aquino: doi gigan]i care folosind fie Drumul P@rin]ilor }i al Sf. Grigore Palamas, fie Drumul acelora}i P@rin]i }i al Filosofiei Metafizice, Perene, ajung la acela}i rezultat: la a contempla divino-umanitatea lui Iisus Hristos. Noi, adep]i ai complement@rii, ^i vom asocia }i pe Sf. Grigore Pala- mas }i pe Sf. Toma d’Aquino ^mpreun@, rezultatul fiind acela}i, chiar dac@ drumurile sunt diferite. %n ceea ce prive}te cre}tin@tatea, logica este cea a lui }i/}i, nu cea a lui sau/sau. *** Iisus Hristos este calea, Adev@rul }i Via]a. Nu mai avem nevoie de alte c@i, de alte adev@ruri, de alte vie]i. Noi le-am g@sit; avem nevoie s@ mergem doar ^nainte, pe drumul ales. 3. A se vedea nota 1 }i Justin Popovitch – L’Homme et le Dieu-Homme, Ed. L’Age d’Homme, Laussane, 1989. 7 . Francmasoneria caut@ adev@rul; postul$nd relativizarea oric@rui drum religios, cade ^n agnosticim }i liberalism doctrinar. Cunoa}terea revelat@ este incompatibil@ cu agnosticismul. Iar noi cunoa}tem Revela]ia. Odat@ ce vedem lumina, de ce s-o mai c@ut@m? Nu era nevoie neap@rat@ de bulele de excomunicare papale sau de hot@r$rile sinodale care s@ postuleze incompatibilitatea apartenen]ei unui cre}tin la masonerie: cele dou@ op]iuni se exclud de la sine. Ele (aceste decizii) sunt doar o manifestare a lui „potestas clavium”, a legitimei puteri ale Cheilor, ^ncredin]ate Apostolilor }i succesorilor lor. Mai mult pentru cei cu intelectul imatur sau pentru parveni]ii vero}i este necesar@ o simpl@ interdic]ie, dup@ cum o afirm@ }i Statutul Prioratului Rom$n al OBSS, r@spicat: Candida]ii „s@ nu apar]in@ nici unui partid politic sau s@ nu fie membri ^n nici o asocia]ie/societate care cultiv@ o atitudine relativist@, antitradi]ional@ sau pseudo-spi- ritual@ (ex. loji masonice, loji teosofice, cercuri spiritualiste, grupuri new-age)” (Cap. II, art. 2, alin. b). Deci cei care vor s@ caute masonerii ^n Prioratul OBSS s@ o fac@ aiurea. *** Imbecilizarea epocii contemporane se manifest@ }i prin prejudecata egalit@]ii tuturor. Oamenii sunt complementari, nu egali. %ns@}i ideea de concurs, de ^ntrecere, de examen postuleaz@ o ine- galitate a persoanelor. Una este desigur problema de a asigura condi]iile necesare desco- peririi, cultiv@rii }i fructific@rii voca]iilor }i aptitudinilor unei persoane, }i altceva este de a postula o uniformizare tembel@ (a}a cum }colile contemporane }i profesorii retarda]i o fac ast@zi, cu ajutorul manu- alelor mai mult sau mai pu]in alternative); prin uniformizare omor$m persoana }i producem indivizi, numere, cantitate. De aceea avem nevoie de spirit aristocratic; de aceea avem nevoie de aristocra]ie, de nobilime, de ierarhie. Acestea se exercit@ ^n fiecare domeniu al activit@]ilor umane; at$t doar c@ unii merg ^n virtutea iner]iei, al]ii ^n]eleg con}tient acest lucru. 8 . Clerul contemporan ar trebui s@ fie ^n mod permanent con}tient de greaua sarcin@ de a crea, a cultiva, a fructifica valori }i ierarhii spirituale. T@v@lirea ^n grotesc, ^n parvenitism, goana dup@ himere – din p@cate – sunt ispite care }i-au croit bulevard }i ^n r$ndul clericilor. Nepotismul este o consecin]@ logic@ a acestei mentalit@]i pervertite; celor mai docili, semi-doc]i sau sfero-doc]i din cler, care }i-ar pune ipotetic problema necesit@]ii ierarhiei }i aristocra]iei, le reamintim c@ aceasta a fost doctrina peren@ a Bisericii, a}a cum o demonstreaz@ str@lucit }i Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira.4 {i-a pus cineva ^ntrebarea de ce Sf. Evanghelii insist@ pe genealogia princiar@ a lui Iisus Hristos? Sau de ce p$n@ ^n 1918 to]i episcopii rom$nii ardeleni, fie ei uni]i sau ortodoc}i, erau nobili, sau ^nnobila]i? Acest lucru este demonstrabil chiar }i ^nainte de 1690. %i rug@m pe cei care sufer@ de nelini}ti ^n aceast@ privin]@ s@ mediteze pu]in la cele dou@ ^ntreb@ri. Pentru vajnicii militan]i ai integr@rii noastre ^n Europa (ca }i cum n-am fi deja acolo!) le mai suger@m }i un argument ^n consonan]@ cu viziunea lor utilitarist@: toate statele europene (inclusiv Rusia, Serbia, Montenegro, Ucraina) au o aristocra]ie patentat@. Nu are sens s@ evoc@m exemplele vecinilor no}tri de la Apus. Noi ce-am avut am ignorat, am radicalizat, sau ne-am b@tut joc de descenden]ii elitelor istorice.

  • The Battle of Christians and Ottomans in the Southwest of Bačka from the Battle of Mohács to the Peace of Zsitvatorok
    doi: 10.19090/i.2017.28.86-104 UDC: 94(497):355.48(497.127 Mohács) ISTRAŽIVANJA ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER JOURNAL OF HISTORICAL RESEARCHES Received: 13 May 2017 28 (2017) Accepted: 27 August 2017 ATTILA PFEIFFER University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Department of History [email protected] THE BATTLE OF CHRISTIANS AND OTTOMANS IN THE SOUTHWEST OF BAČKA FROM THE BATTLE OF MOHÁCS TO THE PEACE OF ZSITVATOROK Abstract: After the battle of Mohács in 1526 the medieval kingdom of Hungary was torn into three parts. The middle part from Buda to Belgrade was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. These territories suffered much in the 16th century because of the wars between the Habsburgs and the Ottoman Turks. Therefore, we do not have many historical resources from this period. The territory of South Bačka was a war zone many times from 1526 to 1606, where the Habsburgs, Hungarians and Ottoman Turks fought many battles. The aim of this study is to represent these struggles between Christians and Muslim Turks, focusing on the territories of the early modern Counties of Bač and Bodrog. Moreover, we are going to analyse the consequences of these wars for the population and economy of the mentioned counties. Keywords: early modern period, Ottoman Hungary, Counties of Bač and Bodrog, fortress of Bač, Turkish wars, military history. fter the defeat of the Hungarian army on the field of Mohács (29 August 1526), Hungary went through perhaps the worst period in its history. Simultaneously it A had to fight against the conquerors and in the meantime, the issue of the heir to the throne was raised because of the death of king Lajos II (1516-1526) in the battle of Mohács.

  • Hungary and the Habsburgs in the Early Modern Period
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION: HUNGARY AND THE HABSBURGS IN THE EARLY MODERN PERIOD Prejudices and Debatable Interpretations The way in which the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- tury relations of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Kingdom of Hungary were viewed changed significantly after the first half of the nineteenth century. Modern Hungarian historiography came into existence in the eighteenth century. Its first practitioners were influenced by the con- temporary Habsburg state in which they lived. The appearance of the nation-states and of the concept of national independence brought major changes. The historical concept of independence became the major trend in Hungarian historiography during the last third of the nineteenth century. Its role is still important today and was particularly important during certain earlier periods. It was accepted equally by Catholic and Protestant historians, by positivists just as much as by the historians of ideas, by Marxists and by the partisans of the national romanticism of our day.1 A solid basis was laid down, during the second half of the nine- teenth century, by the romantic nationalist historians.2 They uncovered enormous archival material but assessed it from the perspective of the political situation and independist ideology of the times. The principal representatives of this approach were the Protestant Kálmán Thaly (1839–1909) and the leader of the Viennese research group, Sándor 2 THE KINGDOM OF HUNGARY AND THE HABSBURG MONARCHY Takáts (1860–1932), a Piarist priest. The former published a number of volumes of source material on the activities of Imre Thököly and Ferenc II Rákóczi but, as a leading member of the Independence Party, the concepts of national independence dominated his historiography.

  • The Hungarian Historical Review
    Hungarian Historical Review 3, no. 4 (2014): 729–748 Zsófia Kádár The Difficulties of Conversion Non-Catholic Students in Jesuit Colleges in Western Hungary in the First Half of the Seventeenth Century The societies of the multiethnic and multilingual region of Central Europe became more diverse through the emergence of distinct confessions (Konfessionalisierung). The first half of the seventeenth century is especially interesting in this regard. In this period, the Catholic Church started to win back its positions in the Hungarian Kingdom as well, but the institutionalization of the Protestant denominations had by that time essentially reached completion. The schools, which were sustained by the various denominations, became the most efficient devices of religious education, persuasion and conversion. In this essay I present, through the example of the Jesuit colleges of western Hungary, the denominational proportions and movements of the students in the largely non-Catholic urban settings. Examining two basic types of sources, the annual accounts (Litterae Annuae) of the Society of Jesus and the registries of the Jesuit colleges in Győr and Pozsony (today Bratislava, Slovakia), I compare and contrast the data and venture an answer to questions regarding the kinds of opportunities non- Catholic students had in the Jesuit colleges. In contrast with the assertions made in earlier historiography, I conclude that conversion was not so widespread in the case of the non-Catholic students of the Jesuits. They were not discriminated against in their education, and some of them remained true to their confessions to the end of their studies in the colleges. Keywords: conversion, Jesuit colleges, school registries, annual accounts (Litterae Annuae), denominations in towns, urban history, Hungary, Győr, Pozsony, Pressburg, Bratislava, Sopron A student, the son of a soldier or a burgher, took leave of Calvinism, an act with which he completely infuriated his parents, so much so that his father planned to kill him.

  • With Or Without Estates? Governorship in Hungary in the Eighteenth Century Krisztina Kulcsár National Archives of Hungary [email protected]
    Hungarian Historical Review 10, no. 1 (2021): 96–128 With or without Estates? Governorship in Hungary in the Eighteenth Century Krisztina Kulcsár National Archives of Hungary [email protected] In the eighteenth century, the Hungarian estates had the greatest influence among the estates of the provinces of the Habsburg Monarchy. The main representative of the estates was the palatine, appointed by the monarch but elected by the estates at the Diet. He performed substantial judicial, administrative, financial, and military tasks in the Kingdom of Hungary. After 1526, the Habsburg sovereigns opted to rule the country on several occasions through governors who were appointed precisely because of the broad influence of the palatine. In this essay, I examine the reasons why the politically strong Hungarian estates in the eighteenth century accepted the appointment of governors instead of a palatine. I also consider what the rights and duties of these governors were, the extent to which these rights and duties differed from those of the palatine, and what changes they went through in the early modern period. I show how the idea and practice of appointing archdukes as governors or palatines was conceived and evolved at the end of the eighteenth century. The circumstances of these appointments of Francis Stephen of Lorraine, future son-in-law of Charles VI, Prince Albert of Saxony(-Teschen), future son-in-law of Maria Theresa and Archduke Joseph, shed light on considerations and interests which lay in the background of the compromises and political bargains made between the Habsburg(-Lorraine) rulers and the Hungarian estates.

It evinces that each convent had an infirmary, in which the ill nuns could be separated from the rest of the community and nursed according to the instructions of a doctor, but the investigation of the rooms and their equipment also reveals significant differences among them.

  • Gábor Bethlen and His European Presence
    Hungarian Historical Review 2, no. 4 (2013): 695–732 Ágnes R. Várkonyi Gábor Bethlen and His European Presence This paper studies the European presence of the most important ruler of the Principality of Transylvania, Gábor Bethlen (1580–1629) in the light of predominant developments of the Early Modern Age such as the general crisis of the seventeenth century, the Thirty Years’ War, the international networks of alliances, the absolutist governments, the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, the nation states, the modern expectations towards governments, the new science of political cultures, the explosion of information networks and the law of concluding peace. The study gives an overview on the extreme views on Gábor Bethlen in the early modern era as well as in posterity. This ruler of the Transylvanian state—a tributary of the Ottoman Empire, but also belonging to the power sphere of the Habsburgs— was on the one hand regarded as a creature of the Turks, on the other as a monarch who had profound influence upon the fate of Europe. The paper shows how Bethlen created tranquility, security and economic stability in the country which had been ruined, destroyed by Ottoman and imperial military interventions and on the verge of civil war. Having a wide range of political experience and a good knowledge of contemporary political theories, the prince managed to accommodate absolutist government and mercantilist economic policies to Transylvanian circumstances. He was nevertheless unable to compete with the propaganda campaign against him. Keywords: general crisis of the seventeenth century, the Thirty Years’ War, the international networks of alliances, the absolutist governments, the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires Prelude He is like a star, and “no astrologer can iudge of him till he bee worne out.”1 The report on Prince Gábor Bethlen of Transylvania by Sir Thomas Roe, English ambassador to Constantinople, has lost none of its validity four hundred years after his election.

(Fontes rerum Austriacarum, 3. Abteilung, Fontes iuris 21/1.) Vienna: Böhlau, 2010. 535 pp. Das Preßburger Protocollum Testamentorum 1410 (1427)–1529, Vol. 2. 1487–1529. Edited by Judit Majorossy und Katalin Szende. (Fontes iuris, Geschichtsquelle zum österreichen Recht, 21/2.) Vienna: Böhlau, 2014. 572 pp. The use of late medieval testaments as sources in the study of legal issues, economy, culture and everyday life has been popular for some time now. In noble, ecclesiastical and urban settings, this type of source material offers a large pool of information on everyday life, economic and social ties, religious piety, understandings of the afterlife, provisional mechanisms, etc. In recent decades, a good number of collections of last wills originating from Bohemia and Moravia, Hungary, Austria and Dalmatia have been edited and analyzed. Apart from Hungary, intensive research has also been conducted in Bohemia and Moravia, where the last wills from the cities of Prague, Olomouc, Pilsen and Tabor were edited and analyzed. Well-preserved testament collections of Dalmatian cities such as Zadar, Split, Trogir and Dubrovnik are all frequently consulted by scholars. In Austria, the evaluation of late medieval wills has been intensified with the editions of the collections of Vienna, Wiener Neustadt and, recently, Korneuburg. In the 1980s, Gerhard Jaritz, member of the Institute of Medieval Material Culture in Krems and professor at the Central European University in Budapest, initiated the edition of the collection of legal instructions known as Wiener Stadtbücher, which also contain a large number of wills.
