The mere existence of this em- pire with his rich history and otherness from western European traditions spurred the minds of scholars, Imagining Byzantium noblemen, politicians and ordinary people throughout its survival and long beyond its final downfall in 1453. Neglecting its great political and cultural influence on neighbouring countries and beyond, Enligh- Perceptions, Patterns, Problems tenment writers stripped Byzantium of its original historical reality and thus created a model, which could be utilised in very different constructs, stretching from positive to absolutely negative connotations. With the rise of new nationalisms, primarily in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, and the associated politically inspired historical (re)constructions in the 19th and 20th century, the reception of Byzantium gained new facets, its perception reached into new dimensions. In this volume, we would like to shed some light on these patterns and the problems they entail, and show the different ways in which »Byzantium« was used as an argument in nation-building and in constructing new historiographical narratives, and how its legacy endured in ecclesiastical historiography.

  • Ecclesiological Tendencies in the Ecumenical Approach of the Council of Crete
    Ecclesiological Tendencies in the Ecumenical Approach of the Council of Crete Alexandru-Marius Crișan* The Ecumenical legacy of the Council of Crete convened in 2016 is extremely important because of the consistent discussions on this topic during the grounding of the Council, but mostly subsequent to that, when the process of reception of the Council began. The Holy and Great Council of Crete of 2016, known also as the Pan- Orthodox Council, issued six official documents plus a Message and an Encyclical. Among those documents, one is dedicated to the question of ecumenical relations. Inside various Orthodox Autocephalous Churches different groups denounced the Council because of its ecumenical approach, meaning that a good understanding of the ecumenical legacy of the Council of Crete is one of the most important keys in its reception. In this study I will try to inspect the ecclesiological theology found in the Document on Ecumenical Relations released in 2016 by the Council of Crete, thereby analyzing why some of the groups rejected this document. Comparing different forms of the documents with the final approved form will help us understand how the Orthodox approach to ecumenism evolved in time, since the beginning of the preparations for the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church. Keywords: Council of Crete, Pan-Orthodox Council, Ecumenism, Ecclesiological Theology, Ecclesiological Ecumenism, Orthodox Ecumenism 1. Introduction: Historical Background of the Pan-Orthodox Ecumenical Concern Carefully prepared during a long period of time1, the Council of Crete could have offered a unitary Orthodox point of view on the Ecumenical Movement and on the relations of the Orthodox Church with other Christian realities * Dr.

  • La Sainte Face De Laon
    Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures et post-doctorales Ce mémoire intitulé : LA SAINTE FACE DE LAON Présenté par : Nicole Sabourin Département d’Histoire de l’Art et d’Études Cinématographiques Faculté des Arts Et des Sciences A été évalué par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Ersy Contogouris, présidente-rapporteuse Sarah Guérin, directrice de recherche Robert Marcoux, membre du jury Août 2017 © Nicole Sabourin i Résumé La cathédrale de Laon conserve dans son trésor une précieuse icône du 13e siècle appelée Sainte Face de Laon. Selon la tradition, en 1249 Jacques Pantaléon de Troyes, chapelain du pape à Rome et futur pape Urbain IV envoie à sa sœur Sybille alors abbesse du monastère cistercien de Montreuil-en-Thiérache (Picardie) cette image sainte, copie du Mandylion d’Édesse. Une lettre, maintenant disparue, accompagne cet envoi. Une double inscription sur l’icône, une première en caractères cyrilliques et en slavon ancien et une autre en langue grecque pose encore aujourd’hui des interrogations sur l’origine de l’icône, soit russe, bulgare ou serbe. Cette recherche a pour but d’explorer les possibilités d’une origine serbe de l’icône de Laon et de retracer son trajet entre la Serbie et la France, via Rome. Pour y arriver nous ferons un détour historique à travers l’histoire de la Serbie dirigée à cette époque par la dynastie des Nemanjić, fondateurs de monastères en Serbie, en Italie byzantine et grands donateurs d’icônes et d’objets liturgiques y compris à la basilique Saint-Nicolas-de-Bari. L’origine orthodoxe de l’icône pose la question des déplacements d’œuvres entre l’Orient et l’Occident et celle de la circulation des artistes entre Constantinople et les pays limitrophes après le sac de Constantinople de 1204.

This shift from mainly handwritten production and the less popular xylographic printing (made from a single carved or sculpted block for each page) to typographic printing (made with movable type on a printing press in Gutenberg’s style) made it possible to produce more books by considerably reducing the time and cost of production.

  • The Daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the Wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince
    The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince «The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince» by Alexander V. Maiorov Source: Byzantinoslavica ­ Revue internationale des Etudes Byzantines (Byzantinoslavica ­ Revue internationale des Etudes Byzantines), issue: 1­2 / 2014, pages: 188­233, on www.ceeol.com. The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician-Volhynian Prince Alexander V. MAIOROV (Saint Petersburg) The Byzantine origin of Prince Roman’s second wife There is much literature on the subject of the second marriage of Roman Mstislavich owing to the disagreements between historians con- cerning the origin of the Princeís new wife. According to some she bore the name Anna or, according to others, that of Maria.1 The Russian chronicles give no clues in this respect. Indeed, a Galician chronicler takes pains to avoid calling the Princess by name, preferring to call her by her hus- band’s name – “âĺëčęŕ˙ ęí˙ăčí˙ Ðîěŕíîâŕ” (Roman’s Grand Princess).2 Although supported by the research of a number of recent investiga- tors, the hypothesis that she belonged to a Volhynian boyar family is not convincing. Their arguments generally conclude with the observation that by the early thirteenth century there were no more princes in Rusí to whom it would have been politically beneficial for Roman to be related.3 Even less convincing, in our opinion, is a recently expressed supposition that Romanís second wife was a woman of low birth and was not the princeís lawful wife at all.4 Alongside this, the theory of the Byzantine ori- gin of Romanís second wife has been significantly developed in the litera- ture on the subject.

  • Medieval Serbian Coins 6 Types of King Stefan Radoslav
    MEDIEVAL SERBIAN COINS 6 TYPES OF KING STEFAN RADOSLAV King Stefan Radoslav Nemanjic Doukas was born in 1192, became King at the age of 36 in 1228 and not known when exactly but died somewhere after 1235. He was the only known son of Stefan the First-Crowned Nemanjić by his first wife Eudokia Angelina. His father Stefan the First- Crowned Nemanjić was born around 1165 and died 24th September 1228 after which he as a only son and heir inherited the throne. His mother later remarried, to Alexios V Doukas, who only for few month ruled as Emperor of Byzantium in 1204. She was a daughter of Alexios III Angelos Komnenos and Euphrosyne Doukaina Kamatera. So Stefan Radoslav grandparents were the Byzantine Emperor Alexios III Angelos (1195–1203) and Euphrosyne Doukaina Kamaterina. His wife was Anna Angelina Komnene Doukaina, who was the daughter of the ruler of Epirus and Thessalonica, his father in law, Theodore Komnenos Doukas Angelos (1215–1230). It was his grandmother Euphrosyne Doukaina Kamaterina that brought the Doukas name into the Stefan Radoslav life. This is the name that he took on and that later appeared on his coins when he took over kingdom from his father. Maybe his grandmother and his step father Alexios V Doukas as well as later his wife influenced him to view himself as a member of Doukas royal family. Doukas or Ducas in Greek language Δούκας, feminine: Doukaina or Ducaena, in Greek language Δούκαινα; plural: Doukai or Ducae, in Greek language Δοῦκαι, from the Latin title DUX meaning "leader" or "general", in Greek language δοὺξ [ðouks].
