Editing in a Sixteenth-Century Serbian Manuscript (HM.SMS. 280) a Lexical Analysis with Comparison to the Russian Original Diss Editing in a Sixteenth-Century Serbian Manuscript (HM.SMS. 280) A Lexical Analysis with Comparison to the Russian Original Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By !ivojin Jakovljevi", M.A. Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Daniel E. Collins, Adviser Dr. Charles Gribble Dr. Predrag Mateji" Copyright by !ivojin Jakovljevi" 2011 ABSTRACT This study encompasses an analysis of the language found in the first Serbian copy of The History of the Jewish War (HM.SMS.280) compared to its Russian original (HM.SMS.281). This research follows the clues in the colophon written by the Serbian scribe, the hieromonk Grigorije Vasilije, in which he states that the Serbian people could not understand the Russian words of the original manuscript. For this reason, Grigorije Vasilije states, he had to “translate” the unknown words into Serbian. Since the Serbian manuscript consists of a large number of folia, 255 of them, a sampling approach was used, whereby eight folia from six sections were extracted and analyzed. The results of the findings identify a number of lexical variations which were distinctive in Serbian and the Russian recensions at the end of the sixteenth century. Some of the lexemes found in the Serbian manuscript are attested for the first time, and as such they make an addition to our knowledge of medieval Serbian lexicography. The findings of this research show that many of the hard-to-understand words were very specific technical terms from military vocabulary—not words that a monk (or most laymen) could be expected to know. These lexemes pertain to siege warfare, military installations, court expressions, social interactions, and non-Orthodox ecclesiastical concepts. The collected data, consisting of the samples from the Russian and Serbian manuscripts, indicates that almost 80% of the lexemes which appeared be foreign or ii ambiguous to the Serbian scribes are either not listed in the Serbian dictionaries that were consulted, or else were not attested in the meaning found in the Russian original. The remaining 20% of the lexemes appear to be due to synonymy, avoidance of figurative language, concrete vs. specific terminology, censorship, and scribal errors. Some of them could only be explained by extra-linguistic factors, specifically by the scribes’ attitude toward certain religious issues and views, particular to a strict Orthodox monk and ascetic. In addition to reconstructing the biography of the main Serbian scribe, the hieromonk Grigorije Vasilije, this study provides evidence that was a second Serbian scribe, who worked on one segment of the Serbian manuscript. Although the identity of this scribe could not be ascertained for certain at this time, this study provides the material and suggests a possible answer. Based on the style and hand-writing, which closely resembles the writing found in the segment of the Serbian manuscript written by the second Serbian scribe, this study indicates a possibility that this person could be one of the scribes who was involved in copying in the Karyea cell of Hilandar Monastery close to the time the copy of The History of the Jewish War was created. iii Dedication Dedicated to a great friend and Bishop, Dr. Sava (Vukovi"), Bishop of #umadija, for his unselfish support, guidance, and encouragement to advance and pursue a higher education. May the Lord rest his soul! iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am very grateful to Hilandar Monastery and the Hilandar monks for treasuring their medieval manuscripts for centuries, and for giving me an opportunity and permission to use two of those manuscripts in my research. In addition, I would like to use this opportunity and thank my advisor, Dr. Daniel E. Callins, without whose continual guidance and mentorship it would have been impossible to undertake and complete this dissertation. His knowledge, expertise, devotion to scholarly work, and a wholehearted willingness to share it, will always be appreciated. Likewise, I would like to express a sincere gratitude to my first advisor, Dr. Charles Gribble, for spending many hours with me preparing me for the Candidacy Exam, for his dedication in helping me exceed my potential, and for always showing me warm hospitality at his home. Along the same line, my research and study would not be possible was it not for Dr. Predrag Mateji" and his father, V. Rev. Dr. Mateja Mateji", who sacrificed themselves, undertaking long trips to Mount Athos, and making hundreds of thousands of copies of the Hilandar manuscripts, in order to establish the Hilandar Research Library at the Ohio State University. I am grateful to Dr. Predrag Mateji" for providing me with a valuable material for my reasearch, for his imput and guidance during my reserach, as well as to V. Rev. Dr. Mateja Mateji", for providing me with an opportunity to study at the University, and for always being there as my spiritual father, mentor, and friend. v I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Mary A. Johnson, presently archivist at the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women, Tulane University, for providing me with numerous books and articles during my research, for her wholehearted and selfless support, insights, and an enormous help in the reading and commenting on my dissertation. I am also grateful to Daria Safronova, Hilandar Library graduate assistant, for her help in taking my dissertation draft to the Graduate School, as well as making the necessary copies of my dissertation for the Examination Committee Members. I would like to thank my Bishop Dr. Mitrophan for his continual support and encouragement, for allowing me to take time off from the parish duties, and focus on my research. Also, I am very thankful to my professor, protodeacon Dr. Stanimir Spasovi", a great friend and teacher at the Saint Sava Seminary in Belgrade and the School of Theology in Libertyville, Illinois, for his numerous telephone calls, his concern and encouragement during the entire period of my graduate studies. I am also very grateful to my friends Dr. Stevan “Rick” !ivi", Ann Tulevski, and Emilia Tulevski, for their help in reading and correcting number of segments of my dissertation.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Several Cultural Events Marked the Month of October in Serbia Abstract Several large-scale cultural events took place in Serbia during October. With a number of manifestations held throughout the country, the Serbian Orthodox Church marked a great jubilee - 800 years of its autonomous status (autocephaly) from the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Apart from this remarkably important anniversary, other significant cultural events during October included some of the most visited gatherings in Belgrade, such as the 64th International Book Fair. In connection to these events, the general public has shown additional interest in Serbian Church’s decoration of the country president Aleksandar Vučić and the Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency member Milorad Dodik, as well as the settlement through which the missing fragment of the medieval, UNESCO-protected manuscript „Miroslav Gospel” was retrieved from Russia. Other cultural events also included the 35th Belgrade Jazz Festival and the first major retrospective of the world-renowned performance artist Marina Abramović in her hometown, titled „The Cleaner“, hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Arts. Between October 6th-9th, Žiča monastery near Kraljevo was the central place of the 800th anniversary of the recognition of the autocephaly of the Serbian Orthodox Church, alongside several other events organized in the Patriarchate of Peć and other Serbian monasteries in Kosovo and Metohija, as well as a large ceremony in Belgrade’s main congress arena, the Sava Centre.

This is a modest one-nave building with an entrance on the west and the apse on the east side. In order to explain a large deviation of the longitudinal axis of the church from the south- east direction, the following has been done: 1) deviation of the longitudinal axis of the church from the east direction (24o to the NE) was accurately measured; 2) a corresponding sector of true horizon of the church was constructed in the orthographic transverse map projection; 3) the position of the point where ends the line of observation in the vertical axis of the church and the position of the point of actual Sunrise of Summer Solstice were determined topographically on the true horizon. Since the distance between these points is about 1.5o, it can be said that the proto- master probably founded the Church St Nicholas on the basis of Summer Solstice. A direct check made on 21st of June, 2011 confirmed the accuracy of the applied method. Key words: mathematical geography, archeoastronomy, church orientation, the St Nicholas’ church, the Studenica monastery Introduction In the Serbian monastery Studenica, thirty meters southeast of the Virgin Church (Fig.

As a young boy, Rastko left home to join the Orthodox monastic colony on Mount Athos and was given the name Sava. In 1197 his father, King Stefan Nemanja, joined him. In 1198 they moved to and restored the abandoned monastery Hilandar, which was at that time the center of Serbian Orthodox monastic life. St. Sava's father took the monastic vows under the name Simeon, and died in Hilandar on February 13, 1200. He is also canonized a saint of the Church. After his father's death, Sava retreated to an ascetic monastery in Kareya which he built himself in 1199. He also wrote the Kareya typicon both for Hilandar and for the monastery of ascetism. The last typicon is inscribed into the marble board at the ascetic monastery, which today also exists there. He stayed on Athos until the end of 1207, when he persuaded the Patriarch of Constantinople to elevate him to the position of first Serbian archbishop, thereby establishing the independence of the archbishopric of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the year 1219. Saint Sava is celebrated as the founder of the independent Serbian Orthodox Church and as the patron saint of education and medicine among Serbs.

  • At Villa Harun Ar-Rashid
    Talbiyeh Days: My paternal grandfather, Hanna Ibrahim Bisharat, built a home in the Talbiyeh At Villa Harun quarter of Jerusalem, outside and to the west ar-Rashid of the Old City, in 1926. This was the same neighbourhood where Edward Said was George Bisharat born in 1935. I’m not aware that my family and Edward’s crossed paths during those years, although it is likely they did, given the intimacy of Palestinian society then and even today. Nonetheless, our two families, in many ways, followed similar trajectories. Like Edward’s father, Wadi’, my grandfather eventually shifted his business activities in Cairo. The family traversed the same Cairo- Jerusalem-Beirut axis, with its concentration of economic, political-administrative, and educational-cultural resources, that Edward’s family and many others did. My father and his brothers attended the American Hanna and Mathilde Bisharat (holding University of Beirut. Like Edward, they infants), with other family members, in front eventually came to the United States for of Villa Harun ar-Rashid, ca. 1929. The infants education (in my father’s case, advanced are Ibrahim (Fred) and his twin, Habeeb, who medical training) and, after the Nakba (the died of pneumonia in Villa Harun ar-Rashid destruction of Palestinian society in 1948), as a toddler.

During this period, over 27,000 attacks against Israeli citizens and residents have been recorded, and over 1000 Israeli citizens and residents have lost their lives in these attacks. Out of these, 155 (May 2007) attacks were suicide bombings, carried out against Israeli targets by 178 (August 2007) suicide terrorists (male and female). (It should be noted that from 1993 up to the beginning of the conflict in September 2000, 38 suicide bombings were carried out by 43 suicide terrorists). Despite the fact that suicide bombings constitute 0.6% of all attacks carried out against Israel since the beginning of the conflict, the number of fatalities in these attacks is around half of the total number of fatalities, making suicide bombings the most deadly attacks. From the beginning of the conflict up to August 2007, there have been 549 fatalities and 3717 casualties as a result of 155 suicide bombings. Over the years, suicide bombing terrorism has become the Palestinians’ leading weapon, while initially bearing an ideological nature in claiming legitimate opposition to the occupation.

  • Memory of the World Register Nomination Form Ref N° 2004-11
    MEMORY OF THE WORLD REGISTER NOMINATION FORM REF N° 2004-11 PART A – ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1 SUMMARY The Miroslav Gospel, a manuscript dating from around 1180 with miniatures of outstanding beauty, is the representative of a group of illuminated manuscripts of specific style and iconography resulting from fusion of elements of the West (Italy) and the East (Byzantium). This Serbian script that the concept of book decoration shares with other Orthodox Slavs and the style with the miniatures originating from mid-Italian scriptoria, is actually one of the most important testimonies of the artistic influences paths made from the West to the East and back. The Miroslav Gospel documents the liturgic structure of the evangelistary and an important stage of development of the Rascian orthography, the importance of which goes beyond the mediaeval Serbia boundaries. The valuable material - parchment and gilding - has been preserved almost completely and documents well the endowment power of Christian princes in the Balkans by the end of the 12th C. By its style which is the mixture of the influences from the West and the East, the Miroslav Gospel is the unique manuscript of its kind in the region, as well as in the world. By its beauty and uniqueness the Miroslav Gospel will influence later other manuscripts of the region, as well as of the Medieval Europe. This manuscript represents the most precious and significant document in cultural heritage in Serbia. 2 DETAILS OF THE NOMINATOR 2.1 Name (person or organisation) Unesco National Commission of Serbia and Montenegro President Mr. Jovan Ćirilov National Museum, Belgrade Mr.

    Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto By Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar 2016 Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian group in Toronto PhD 2016 Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar University of St.Michael’s College Abstract This study explores how the Macedono-Bulgarian and Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox churches in Toronto have attuned themselves to the immigrant community—specifically to post-1990 immigrants who, while unchurched and predominantly secular, have revived diaspora churches. This paradox raises questions about the ways that religious institutions operate in diaspora, distinct from their operations in the country of origin. This study proposes and develops the concept “institutional vernacularization” as an analytical category that facilitates assessment of how a religious institution relates to communal factors. I propose this as an alternative to secularization, which inadequately captures the diaspora dynamics. While continuing to adhere to their creeds and confessional symbols, diaspora churches shifted focus to communal agency and produced new collective and “popular” values. The community is not only a passive recipient of the spiritual gifts but is also a partner, who suggests new forms of interaction. In this sense, the diaspora church is engaged in vernacular discourse. The notion of institutional vernacularization is tested against the empirical results of field work in four Greater Toronto Area churches.
