Of the department of Mineralogy, Petrography and Geochemistry Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Ukraine GEOLOGICAL NARRATIVE OF HISTORICAL GALICIAN CEMETERIES IN TERMS OF RESTORATION Abstract. The historic cemetery is an integral part of the architectural landscape of each city, the confirmation of ideology, the spiritual and economic life of its time. Cemeteries dating back to the second half of the 18th century have been preserved in many cities of Galicia. Now we call them historical cemeteries. Most of them are no longer in use and are filled not only with historical but also artistic monuments made mainly of stone. Such cemeteries require constant care and uninterrupted supervision. Preserving the physical substance of these cemeteries is a great challenge and a difficult task. To do this, it is necessary to conduct mineralogical and petrographic studies of the stone material of the historic cemeteries of Galicia. The state of preservation of natural stone, which is most common in the historical cemeteries of Galicia, was analyzed, the types of this stone damage were investigated. Also, preventive measures to preserve the stone material of the historic cemeteries of Galicia are proposed. Keywords: architecture, restoration, cemetery, heritage, work of art, natural stone, geology Our ancestors, having accepted Christianity for the burial of the dead, adapted to the traditions of the new religion. It was also a way of honoring the deceased which was customary to bury (od sanctos) in the holy land - in the church or near it.

  • Roman Law As a Foundation of the European Legal Culture Ukrainian and Polish Experiences International Scientific Conference Lviv, 9–10 April 2019
    https://doi.org/10.31743/sp.10620 ROMAN LAW AS A FOUNDATION OF THE EUROPEAN LEGAL CULTURE UKRAINIAN AND POLISH EXPERIENCES INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE LVIV, 9–10 APRIL 2019 On 9–10 April 2019, the Law Faculty of the Ivan Franko National Uni- versity of Lviv hosted participants of the International Scientific Conference Roman Law as a Foundation of the European Legal Culture. The event was a re- sult of cooperation between the Department of History of the State, Law and Political Law Teachings of the Ivan Franko University and the Department of Roman Law of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. The confer- ence provided a unique opportunity to launch a dialogue between the Roman law scholars from both countries and to present the results of research that has been carried out parallel in Ukraine and Poland. Due to the international character of the meeting, its participants were able to view the various issues related to Roman law from the different perspectives and, simultaneously, to consider the elements shared by our legal culture. The official languages of the deliberations were Ukrainian, Polish, and English. The first day encompassed three sessions during which the researchers from Ukraine and Poland presented their papers. The conference launched as scheduled at 9 a.m. when the attendees were welcomed by Prof. Ihor Bojko and Prof. Maciej Jońca. Both of them stressed how important and unprecedented for the Law Faculty of the University of Lviv this meeting was. In fact, scholars from Ukraine and Poland have convened for the first time in Lviv to discuss experiences with the Roman law tradition of both countries.
