However, any renewal results in major morphological, physiognomic, functional or social changes, which imply changes in the meanings encoded in space. These transformations are not always welcome and they may lead to public discussions and conflicts. Skopje 2014 is a project within which such controversial transformations have been taking place. The area surrounding the Vardar River and its banks plays a major role here. On the river banks monumental buildings were erected, bridges over the river were modernised and new ones, decorated with monuments, were built for pedestrians. Bridges can be considered a valuable component of any urban infrastructure as they link different parts of a settlement unit (in the case of Skopje – left (northern) bank and the right (southern) bank; Albanian and Macedonian), improve transport, facilitate trade and cultural exchange. In this context, referring to Lotman’s semiosphere theory, they may become borders of semiotic space, which acts as a filter that facilitates the penetration of codes and cultural texts. Yet, in multicultural Skopje meanings attached to bridges seem to lead to social inequalities as they glorify what is Macedonian and degrade the Albanian element.

Nikolov, Samostojatelni i polusamostojatelni vladenija văv văzobnovenoto Bălgarsko carstvo (kraja na XII – sredata na XIII v.), IK „Gutenberg”, Sofija 2011, ss. 255 Recenzowana ksiąŜka wyszła spod pióra Georgiego N. Nikołowa, znanego bułgarskiego historyka, autora wielu prac dotyczących róŜ- nych aspektów średniowiecznych dziejów Bułgarii1. Tym razem przedmiotem jego rozwaŜań są przejawy separatyzmu na ziemiach bułgarskich od czasów odrodzenia Bułgarii po powstaniu Teodora- Piotra i Asena po połowę wieku XIII. W obrębie jego rozwaŜań zna- leźli się moŜni, którzy, w interesującym go okresie, zbudowali samo- dzielne lub na wpół samodzielne władztwa. Badacz stara się odtwo- rzyć ich losy, zasięg terytorialny posiadłości, którymi zarządzali, wreszcie ocenić znaczenie ich działalności w kontekście interesów państwowości bułgarskiej. Jego szczególną uwagę budzą równieŜ rezydencje i twierdze, które znalazły się w rękach separatystów (m.in. Wielki Presław, Prosek, Cepina, Melnik). Cele, które postawił sobie G.N. Nikołow, nie były łatwe do zrealizowania ze względu na skąpość i charakter materiałów źródłowych, którymi dysponują badacze zajmujący się tymi zagadnieniami. Mimo to bułgarskiemu uczonemu udało się, w moim przekonaniu, zbudować pełny, na ile było to moŜliwe, obraz ruchów separatystycznych na ziemiach buł- garskich od końca XII po połowę XIII w. Praca podzielona jest na pięć podstawowych części. W pierwszej, zatytułowanej Apanažni vladenija i separatizăm v Bălgarskija seve- roiztok (s. 59–69), Autor przedstawia dwie samodzielne czy częściowo samodzielne struktury, które istniały w północno-wschodniej Bułga- 1 Dorobek G.N.

He was constantly impressed with the fact that all too little attention has been paid hither­ to to the subject even by scholars of the Balkan nations, not to speak of non-Slavic historians; consequently, much preliminary pioneering work had to be done. Much yet remains to be accomplished; but the restricted scope of this undertaking as well as the paucity of source material per­ taining to the early history of the Balkan peninsula com­ bined to make the treatment actually adopted expedient. In gathering his material, the author spent some time during the summer of 1931 in the Balkans.

  • Bulgarian Historiography on the Military Campaigns Against Serbia in 1214–1215: a Reconsideration
    UDC: 355.48:94](497.11:497.2)“1214/1215“:930.2(497.2) DOI: 10.34298/9788677431396.12 Ivelin IVANOV St. Cyril and St. Methodius University Veliko Tarnovo Bulgaria BULGARIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY ON THE MILITARY CAMPAIGNS AGAINST SERBIA IN 1214–1215: A RECONSIDERATION Abstract: The Bulgarian-Serbian conflict of 1214 is related to the rule of Tsar Boril (1207-1218), traditionally regarded as a weak and unsuccessful ruler. The author summarizes the positions on this conflict among the most prominent Bulgarian medievalists in several aspects: the reasons and the cause of the conflict, the course of the campaigns of 1214 and 1215, and its consequences. In conclusion, the author formulated several major trends in the positions of Bulgarian historians on the issue in question, stressing that the conflict and the campaigns of 1214 and 1215 require further and deeper analytical research. Keywords: middle ages, Bulgarian-Serbian relations, Tsar Boril, Stefan the First- Crowned, Sebastokrator Strez. The Bulgaria–Serbia relations at the beginning of the 13th century are not among the leading topics in Bulgarian historiography1. Rather, the bilateral 1 The Bulgarian–Serbian conflict in the 13–14th centuries spread in two directions: to Belgrade, Branichevo and Vidin regions, and to Macedonia. The conflict in the southwest territory was exacerbated by the separatist actions of local rulers, the strongest of whom was Strez. After the death of Tsar Kaloyan in 1207, Strez lost his positions in the struggle for the throne, but succeeded in establishing political control over territories in the southwest, centered on the fortress of Prosek. As a result of an active policy, Stres established close relations with Great Prince Stefan Nemanjić (1165–1228) and acted openly against Bulgarian Tsar Boril.

  • History of the Macedonian People
    HISTORY OF THE MACEDONIAN PEOPLE 1 2 INSTITUTE OF NATIONAL HISTORY HISTORY OF THE MACEDONIAN PEOPLE SKOPJE 2008 3 Editor: Todor Chepreganov, Ph.D. Authors: Aneta Shukarova, Ph.D. Mitko B. Panov, Ph.D. Dragi Georgiev, Ph.D. Krste Bitovski, Ph.D. Academician Ivan Katardziev Vanche Stojchev, Ph.D. Novica Veljanovski, Ph.D. Todor Chepreganov, Ph.D. 4 MACEDONIA IN THE PREHISTORIC TIME On the territory of Macedonia an active life is registered even in the earliest stages of the human prehistory. The climate, geomorphology, and other natural factors on the whole territory of Macedonia were pre- conditions for establishment of an organized life and for the creation of different cultures whose evolution had a continuous course from the pe- riod of the first agricultural communities to the end of the Iron Age. The archeological and anthropological researches of the artifacts from the first settlements in Macedonia are where the basic knowledge which is crucial for the explanation of the origin of the later populations as well as the ori- gin of the historical and cultural influences and movements came from. The territory of Macedonia is situated in the core of the Balkan’s natural crossroads and connects the two largest cultural spheres: the Ae- gean and the Anatolian, as the nuclei of the oldest farming and stock- breeding communities, or the inner part of the Balkan Peninsula and the Middle Europe. The natural routes along the river valleys have the partic- ular role from this aspect; the valley of the river Vardar, which joins the valley of the river Morava enables communication of the Aegean World and Panonia while Strumeshnica, through lower reaches of the river Struma makes a link between southern Thrace and the front part of the Middle Asia.

  • Monarchs' Names and Numbering in the Second Bulgarian State*
    Studia Ceranea 5, 2015, p. 267–310 ISSN: 2084-140X DOI: 10.18778/2084-140X.05.09 e-ISSN: 2449-8378 Ian S.R. Mladjov (Bowling Green) Monarchs’ Names and Numbering in the Second Bulgarian State* n modern historiographical practice, Bulgaria’s rulers over the ages are assigned Iconsecutive ordinal numbers without distinction between monarchs who reigned under different titles, for example: Boris I (852–889), Boris II (969–977), and Boris III (1918–1943), or Simeon I (893–927) and Simeon II (1943–1946)1. Such numeration has only been assumed formally by modern rulers, reigning after 18782. Its application to medieval monarchs is convenient and relatively unexcep- tional when compared with historiographical practices in other modern societ- ies. There are, however, certain inconsistencies that have been introduced into the names and numbering of monarchs due to a combination of oversight and misunderstanding. Names like Ivan II Asen, Mihail II Asen, Georgi I Terter, Ivan IV Smilec, and Mihail III Šišman, which are found commonly in the historical literature, are inaccurate or inconsistent in various ways. A re-examination of the subject, focusing on double names, yields a regularized and improved naming and numbering system with only minor effective emendation. * Although the editorial board follows the principle of Anglicizing / Latinizing the personal and family names of historical figures, their spelling in this text has been left unaltered at the special insistence of the author [Editors’ note]. 1 Of these, Boris I was a king (rex in papal letters, although the old generic term for monarch used in contemporary Bulgarian sources, knjaz, subsequently came to designate the usually non-sovereign title of prince), Boris II was emperor (car / tsar), and Boris III was king (roi des bulgares in diplomatic usage, although he used the traditional medieval title of tsar); Simeon I was king and then emperor, and Simeon II, king.

  • Robert Mihajlovski the Medieval Town of Prilep
    Robert Mihajlovski The Medieval Town of Prilep The Medieval settlement of Prilep (Прилепъ), or Byzantine Prilapos (Πρίλαπος), was situated near the Roman site of Ceramiae.1 In Macedonia, north of Thessalonica, the town of Prilep had a strategic position on the vital route of communication between the junctions of the Via Egnatia near Bitola and the road corridor of the Vardar river system at Stobi (Fig. 21). It was situated in the centre of a network of small roads and communications and guarded the passes of Mount Babuna and Pletvar controlling the gates to the Pelagonian valley and the Via Egnatia.2 The fortress of Prilep was literally attached to the rocky hilltop, and “Prilep” in Slavonic means “stuck on the rock”.3 (Fig. 22). It was first mentioned by John Skylitzes in connection with the Tsar Samuel, who died there from apoplexy two days after hearing the news from the Battle of Kleidion near Strumitsa on 6 October 1014.4 After the definitive victory, Emperor Basil II reorganised Tsar Samuel’s realm and its former Patriarchate into an independent Archbishopric named after Justiniana Prima, based at Okhrid and encompassing the territory of the whole of conquered Bulgaria, without abolishing its autocephaly nor reducing its scope. In the first chrysobull, issued by the Emperor Basil II in 1019 the town of Prilep was mentioned as a part of the bishopric of Bitola (Pelagonia): And the bishop of Bitola shall have Pelagonia, Prilep, Debreshte and Veles with fifteen clerics and fifteen parishes.5 In Varosh, the “suburbia” of Prilep’s castle, a Cyrillic Church Slavonic inscription was found in the monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael, referring to Bishop Andrew in the year 996.6 The title of Bishop Andrew mentioned in the inscription is enigmatic and it may 1 F.
