Brasov’s historic coat of arms is a royal crown placed on the cut trunk of amountain oak (sessile) extended in 13 strong roots. Ever since the Middle Ages, throughout Europe, the oak symbolizes solidity, strength, longevity and height, both in the spiritual and in the material sense. It has always and everywhere represented both moral and physical strength. Also, through its crown, the oak is a symbol of hospitality and it represented the equivalent of a temple in the European art. It is the oak that the people of Brasov have chosen in 2015 as a symbol to define the past, present and near future of the city they inhabit. 3 Introduction – General considerations Brasov has chosen to grow through culture!

Prague Papers on International Relations
The Thököly Uprising in Hungary and the Timing of the Nine Years’ War and the Glorious Revolution1 György Borus2 ABSTRACT The Glorious Revolution of 1688–89 has been regarded primarily as an episode in English domestic politics and has rarely been considered as a European event. Since the tercentenary of the Revolu- tion, a lot has been done to correct this picture. Now it is clear, for example, that without Prince Wil- liam’s powerful military intervention, which was carried out with the full support of the States Gen- eral of the United Provinces, the Revolution would have been impossible. It should also be pointed out, however, that if William had succeeded in organising a powerful anti-French alliance during the early 1680s, he may not have intervened in England at the end of the decade. The timing and cir- cumstances of William’s intervention can only be understood within the context of European events, which should not be confined to Western Europe. This article seeks to explain the interrelationships between the parallel events of the 1680s in the eastern and western parts of the Continent. It argues that the Thököly Uprising played a major part in frustrating William’s plans of organising a power- ful anti-French coalition and delayed the Nine Years’ War (King William’s War) against France un- til 1688. KEYWORDS 1680s; Louis XIV; William of Orange; Count Imre Thököly; Ottoman Empire; Nine Years’ War; Glo- rious Revolution INTRODUCTION The Glorious Revolution of 1688–89 was one of the greatest turning-points in world history. The dethroning of the Catholic James II (1685–88) by his own nephew and son-in-law, William of Orange, the leading political figure of the United Provinces, was to have far-reaching consequences not only for Britain but the whole of West- ern Europe as well. -

Este parece haber pretendido al propio trono bizantino, debido a su matrimonio con la hija del Emperador latino de Constantinopla. Ello fue uno de los moviles de la Quinta Cruzada que dirigio rey Andres con el beneplacito del Papado. El trabajo ofre- ce una vision de conjunto de esta Cruzada y del itinerario del rey Andres, quien volvio desengafiado a su Reino. Summary: The main subject matter of this research is an appro- ach to Hungary, during the reign of Andrew Il, and its participation in the Fifth Crusade. To achieve such a goal a well supported study of king Andrew's ambitions in the Balkan region as in the Bizantine Empire is depicted. His marriage with a daughter of the Latin Emperor of Constantinople seems to indicate the origin of his pre- tensions. It also explains the support of the Roman Catholic Church to this Crusade, as well as it offers a detailed description of king Andrew's itinerary in Holy Land. -
Ottoman History of South-East Europe by Markus Koller
Ottoman History of South-East Europe by Markus Koller The era of Ottoman Rule, which began in the fourteenth century, is among the most controversial chapters of South-East European history. Over several stages of conquest, some of them several decades long, large parts of South-Eastern Europe were incorporated into the Ottoman Empire, or brought under its dominion. While the Ottomans had to surrender the territories north of the Danube and the Sava after the Peace Treaty of 1699, the decline of Ot- toman domination began only in the nineteenth century. Structures of imperial power which had been implemented in varying forms and intensity in different regions were replaced by emerging nation states in the nineteenth century. The development of national identities which accompanied this transformation was greatly determined by the new states distancing themselves from Ottoman rule, and consequently the image of "Turkish rule" has been a mainly negative one until the present. However, latest historical research has shown an increasingly differentiated image of this era of South-East European history. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Military and Political Developments 2.

Romanian Warfare in the Austrian-Turkish War of 1715-1718
ANDREI POGĂCIAȘ Independent Researcher Romanian Warfare in the Austrian-Turkish War of 1715–1718 Die rumänischen Provinzen Walachei und Moldau befanden sich im 18. Jahrhundert unter osmanischer Oberhoheit und wurden somit in die Kriege zwischen der Hohen Pforte und den großen europäischen Mächten einbezogen. Die vom Autor gefundenen Quellenbestände zeigen anhand des österreichisch-osmanischen Krieges von 1715– 1718, wie die Armeen dieser Provinzen organisiert waren und welche Rolle sie in den militärischen Auseinandersetzungen gespielt haben. Den Vorurteilen von einer veralteten Kriegsführung in der Walachei und Moldau setzt der Autor die Darstellung der Truppen, ihrer Waf- fen und Kampfstrategien entgegen, um zu zeigen, dass diese Armeen nach modernen Standards organisiert wurden. Introduction The 18th century in the Romanian Countries – Wallachia and Mol- davia – is regarded by Romanian historiography as one of the dar- kest times in Romanian history. The period known as Phanariote, from 1711 to 1821, meant a powerful decrease in sovereignty, auto- nomy, welfare and statute for the two Romanian Principalities. The five Russo-Austrian-Turkish Wars that occurred in the 18th century and the numerous Tatar raids brought the countries to their knees, affected demography, social structures, the economy, and even terri- torial integrity. 13 Andrei Pogăciaș The Phanariote rulers, mainly Greeks appointed by the Ottomans as administrators of the two Principalities, were usually loyal follo- wers of official politics, with the strong aim to keep the local high nobility, known as boyars (Romanian boieri), under strict observati- on and gather as much money as possible for themselves and for the officials in Constantinople they constantly had to bribe. -
Hadrian Daicoviciu 1932-1984
/ HADRIAN DAICOVICIU 1932-1984 DANA COMŞA HADRIAN DAICOVICIU (1932-1984) Hadrian Daicoviciu s-a născut la Cluj la 11 octombrie 1932, în familia profesorului Constantin şi Lucia Daicoviciu. Studiile liceale le-a urmat la Sibiu şi Cluj, la Liceul „Emil Racoviţă". A urmat cursurile Facultăţii de istorie la Universitatea Kazan (URSS) şi apoi la Universitatea din Cluj, absolvindu-le în anul 1955. După facultate a fost numit preparator la catedra de istorie antică a Universităţii clujene, parcurgând treptele ierarhiei universitare până la gradul de profesor, în 1978. În 1971 a obţinut titlul de doctor în istorie la Universitatea „Babeş-Bolyai", cu teza Dacia de la Burebista la cucerirea romană. Dascălul Hadrian Daicoviciu era admirat de studenţi pentru ştiinţa sa, pentru logica şi argumentaţia strânsă, pentru interpretarea obiectivă a fenomenului istoric, pentru felul cum ne învăţa să pătrundem în tainele nebănuite ale acestei istorii aride, ale cărei izvoare sunt nescrise, pentru verbu-i măiestru şi curgător. Cursurile şi seminariile sale îngemănau ştiinţa cu inteligenţa şi cuvântul potrivit, toate învelite într-o sobrietate deplină şi o artă a oratoriei fascinantă. Era o plăcere să-l asculţi vorbind. Cu vocea lui caldă şi gravă, cu o dicţie perfectă, îşi expunea ideile cu eleganţă şi rară urmă de afectare. Puterea lui de convingere era bazată în egală măsură pe înlănţuirea logică a argumentaţiei şi pe vibraţia emoţională transmisă de încrederea fermă în adevărul propriului punct de vedere. Căci, în tot ce făcea, în tot ce spunea, punea suflet, pasiune, uneori chiar patimă. Şi stabilea astfel, imediat, calea de comunicare directă cu interlocu torul, fie el studentul din amfiteatru, specialistul avizat sau publicul larg. -

Ecclesiastical Monuments of Brașov/Kronstadt/Brassó and the (Imagined) Topography of a Transylvanian City in Late Medieval and Early Modern Times
Ecclesiastical Monuments of Brașov/Kronstadt/Brassó and the (Imagined) Topography of a Transylvanian City in Late Medieval and Early Modern Times Liviu CÎMPEANU Institutul de Cercetări Socio-Umane, Sibiu Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities, Sibiu Personal e-mail: [email protected] ECCLESIASTICAL MONUMENTS OF BRAŞOV/KRONSTADT/BRASSÓ AND THE (IMAGINED) TOPOGRAPHY OF A TRANSYLVANIAN CITY IN LATE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN TIMES Abstract: By definition, a monument has extraordinary features that mark landscape and human minds alike. Without any doubt, the Medieval and Early Modern World of Europe was marked by ecclesiastical monuments, from great cathedrals and abbeys to simple chapels and altars at crossroads. A very interesting case study offers Braşov/ Kronstadt/Brassó, in the south-eastern corner of Transylvania, where historical sources attest several ecclesiastic monuments, in and around the city. Late medieval and early modern documents and chronicles reveal not only interesting data on the monasteries, churches and chapels of Braşov/Kronstadt/Brassó, but also on the way in which citizens and outsiders imagined those monuments in their mental topography of the city. The inhabitants of Braşov/ Kronstadt/Brassó and foreign visitors saw the monasteries, churches and chapels of the city, kept them in mind and referred to them in their (written) accounts, when they wanted to locate certain facts or events. The present paper aims in offering an overview of the late medieval and early modern sources regarding the ecclesiastical monuments of Braşov/Kronstadt/Brassó, as well as an insight into the imagined topography of a Transylvanian city. Keywords: Middle Ages, Ecclesiastical Topography, Historical Sources, Brasov, Transylvania. -
