  • 4 the Structural Framework of Governance
    4 The structural framework of governance The last few decades of historical research have been focused on social interactions as a key issue in the research on the past. Medievalists have withdrawn to large extent from studying constitutional and legal matters, leaving such topics behind as some sort of anachronistic holdover of positivistic methodology. It seems, however, that there is no way for a study of political issues to abandon questions of the structural means of power – as defined in Chapter 1 – as an important element of the instrumentarium of particular players on the dynamic chessboard of the European High Middle Ages. These means, including changes and redefinitions of the legal status of the province under study, were an indispensable counterpart of the ad hoc political and personal measures related to in the previous chapter. 4.1 Marchia Milzania: the status of Milsko in the structure of the Ottonian and early Salian Empire The starting point for considerations about the formal status of Milsko as part of the Empire should be the assertion from Chapter 3 that between 1004–1007, Milsko for the first time became a territory administered by an individual appointed by the German king as comes, Herman I. Herman’s status as a royal administrator is illustrated in several sources. The most significant of these is a charter by Henry II from January 1, 1007 (DH II, no. 124) confirming the donation by the king of three ringforts (castella) in Milsko along with their districts (burgwards) to the Bishopric of Meissen.

  • Tradition and Renewal in the Decretum Maius of King Matthias
    János M. Bak Tradition and Renewal in the Decretum Maius of King Matthias The decree of 25 January 1486, with the incipit Decet reges et principes—soon after its issue referred to as the Decretum Maius [henceforth: DM]of Matthias Corvinus (Printed in: DRH 2 p. 265-310 and in: DRMH 3 p. 41-72)1—was a centerpiece of the king’s legislative efforts.2 I intend to point to some aspects of it in the spirit of one o the main themes of the present commemorative year: tradition vs renewal.3 This law, a sizeable document—78 paragraphs, called articuli in medieval terms (in modern print over 30 pages)—was an attempt at a systematic codification of statute law. As it repeats a significant amount of previous legislation, it stands for tradition. As it contained changes or expansions of these older decisions in many points, it may be seen as an example for renewal. A major innovation was, however, that it was the first law of the kingdom of Hungary published in print—not to be followed for several decades by any printed law book of the country. The legal-political philosophy of the king—or, of course, those legally trained counselors of his who formulated the document—is presented in the extensive preamble of the decretum. It opens with a reference to the Roman legal commonplace about arma et leges4 and argues for the preeminence of good institutes rather than harsh power. (The absolute potentie here, however negatively, has been cited as a reference to the Roman legal term of absoluta potestas (see: Teke, 1989.

  • The Choirs of St Vitus's Cathedral in Prague: a Marriage of Liturgy
    The Choirs of St Vitus’s Cathedral in Prague: A Marriage of Liturgy, Coronation, Royal Necropolis and Piety PETR ULIČNÝ St Vitus’ s Cathedral, founded in 1344, is a prime example of 14th-century cathedral Gothic, a product of the cooperation between the ingenious architect Peter Parler and his patron, Emperor Charles IV. The unusual layout consisted of a pair of choirs set side by side in the eastern section of the cathedral, an arrangement inspired by the earlier Romanesque double-choir basilica. One was dedicated to St Vitus and was used by the canons, the other to the Virgin Mary and operated by the mansionars. The royal and imperial necropolis was placed in the latter of the two choirs, with Charles IV’s tomb-chest protected by a sculptured canopy and surrounded by the cenotaphs of deceased family members and later kings and queens. The form of two choirs is probably the result of an extensive rearrangement of the earlier project com- pleted in the 1350s, when initial plans to locate the royal burial ground in the canons’ choir were abandoned. The main choir contained a tabernacle of remarkable design, dating from c. 1365. There may originally have been plans for a third choir to be built around the tomb of St Adalbert located in the middle of the nave, the work on which was initiated in 1392.1 keywords Prague, cathedral, choirs, liturgy, royal necropolis, coronation the foundation of st vitus’s two choirs ST VITUS’S CATHEDRAL in Prague is a building of fundamental importance in the history of the Central European Late Gothic architecture,2 partly due to its architect Peter Parler’s skilful adaptations of elements of the English Decorated style.3 The cathedral remains the subject of scholarly interest not only because of the outstanding and well-documented architecture, the patrons and architects behind its construction,4 but also because of the many extant liturgical books that contain descriptions of how the cathedral functioned.5 However, the cathedral’s furnishings and altars are preserved to a lesser extent.

  • Adopt a Manuscript Rare Manuscript Monuments Are Awaiting You
    Adopt a Manuscript Rare manuscript monuments are awaiting you Dear Friends, The project of the National Library of the Czech Republic – ADOPT A MANUSCRIPT – was launched in 2005 with the aim of preserving our cultural heritage. Manuscript monuments created in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the Modern Period are an integral part of our cultural heritage and form the memory of the nation. We trust, dear friends, that the idea of supporting the preservation of these singular monuments of immense value for future generations will appeal to you. The main purpose of the adoption is to replace the original mediaeval manuscript with an artistic copy. On the basis of the original of a precious manuscript, academic painters – restorers are capable of preparing such a copy completely faithfully while using materials with which the old masters worked. Only such a duplicate created by an artist can be a full-fledged substitute for the original work at long-term and travelling exhibitions, in permanent expositions or during presentations abroad. Currently, the National Library maintains more than 10,000 manuscripts and nearly 250,000 early printed books in its collections, the most precious of which cannot be exhibited without the risk of damage and are thus accessible only to a narrow circle of experts. However, the ADOPT A MANUSCRIPT project will make it possible for them to become accessible to the widest public. Considering the technologies and materials necessary for preparing the artistic copies, the expenses for their production are relatively high. Become one of our partners and help us financially support the preparation of artistic copies of these precious originals.

The prior’s lieutenant for Austria, Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, who often resided at the important commandery of Mailberg, could have been a nucleus for Austrian independence from Bohemia. The paper edits and discusses a document from 1392 where the prioral chapter deals with a quarrel between Hospitallers in Austria and Styria; their fellow-Hospitallers from the lands of the Bohemian crown (Bohemia proper, Moravia, Silesia) carefully avoided to be offend Duke Albert III of Austria. In the following decades tensions between two rival Habsburg lines in Austria and Styria weakened the position of the Hospitaller lieutenants for the Habsburg lands, especially during the Hussite wars. After the reunification of the Habsburg lands in the early 1460s the commandery of Mailberg was given by Emperor Frederick III and his son Maximilian to their courtiers and creditors, some of whom were not even Hospitallers.

  • Anti-Turkish Correspondence Between Matthias Corvinus and Pope Sixtus IV
    ROCZNIK ORIENTALISTYCZNY, T. LXVI, Z. 2, 2013, (s. 14–31) PIOTR TAFIŁOWSKI Anti-Turkish Correspondence between Matthias Corvinus and Pope Sixtus IV: A Contribution to the History of Propaganda in the International Relations in the Late Middle Ages Abstract The paper analyzes the published correspondence between King of Hungary Matthias Corvinus (1458–1490) and Pope Sixtus IV (1471–1484). A considerable portion of letters between the two correspondents was devoted to the problems of fighting against the Turks, who threatened Christian Europe. These documents are interesting not only on account of presenting military operations carried out in the Balkans but also because they allow us to follow the duplicity of the policies practiced by the ruler, whom the Pope called the greatest defender of Christianity. Taking advantage of the argument of his involvement in the struggle against the Turks, the Hungarian King sought to attain other goals, directing his expansion towards the North West and coming into conflict with Poland. At the same time he was such a shrew politician in the international arena that Polish diplomacy was unable to oppose him. Keywords: Turks, Poles, Hungarians, history, Christianity Pope Sixtus IV and King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary are the figures in which I became interested already several years ago in the context of legitimation of power. I encountered their correspondence some time ago but I put the collection away until later without reading it1. When I returned to the letters after I had completed work on my 1 Monumenta Vaticana Historiam Regni Hungariae Illustrantia, series I, tomus VI: Mathiae Corvini Hungariae regis Epistolae ad Romanos Pontifices datae et ab eis acceptae, Budapest 1891.
