Jau tampa tradicija, kad žurnalo centre yra Lietuvos muzikos ir teatro akademijoje (LMTA) vykusių konferencijų (šį kartą 2016 m. balandžio 27–28 d. 40-osios metinės kon- ferencijos) pranešimų pagrindu parengti mokslo straipsniai ir meno doktorantų darbai. Žurnalo Ars dalį, kurią sudaro šeši mokslo straipsniai, atveria Ukrainos P. čaikovs- kio nacionalinės muzikos akademijos muzikologo Ivano Kuzminsky’io publikacija „On influence of the catholic musical culture of Lviv and Vilnius on partes polyphony at the end of XVI and during XVII centuries“. Straipsnio objektas yra aktualus Lietuvos muzikos istorijai ir jos tyrimams: autorius atskleidžia XVI a. pabaigos – XVII a. katalikų muzikinės kultūros sąsajas tarp Lvovo ir Vilniaus, jų įtaką komponuojant daugiabal- ses kompozicijas. Šis darbas skatina Lietuvos muzikologus giliau pažvelgti į Lietuvos muzikos istoriją, plėsti nagrinėjamų objektų istorinį lauką. Kiti penki Ars dalies straips- niai – LMTA meno doktorantų ir jų projektų tiriamosios dalies vadovų publikacijos. Rūtos Vosyliūtės ir prof. dr. (hp) Gražinos Daunoravičienės straipsnyje „Baroko epochos arijos da capo idėja ir jos autorystės klausimas“ pasitelkiant istorinį ir komparatyvistinį tyrimo metodus gvildenamos baroko arijos da capo formalaus kanono – jos reprizišku- mo ir pasikartojimo idėjos (mimesis) – realizavimo filosofinės bei muzikinės prielaidos. Virginija Unguraitytė-Levickienė ir doc. dr. Audra Versekėnaitė tęsia M. K. čiurlionio kompozicijų redagavimo tyrimus; šį kartą bendraautorės aptaria Besacas variacijų reda- gavimo praktiką, analizuoja pasirinktos kompozicijos redakcijas fortepijonui, lygina jų skirtumus su autografu ir siūlo šio kūrinio urteksto rengimo rekomendacijas atlikėjams. Ritos Mačiliūnaitės-Dočkuvienės straipsnyje „Verbalika kaip muzikos komponavimo priemonė postdraminiame teatre“ analizuojamas naujas požiūris į tekstą teatro erdvėje. Pasak autorės, verbalika neapsiriboja tik teksto ir informacijos pateikimo ar perteiki- mo funkcija: ignoruojama taisyklė, kad tekstas kuria prasmę ir turi būti suprantamas. Straipsnyje išskiriami ir analizuojami trys muzikiniai verbalinių priemonių kompona- vimo būdai, pateikiami postdramiškumu pasižyminčių kūrinių pavyzdžiai. Lino Balan- džio ir doc. dr. Danutės Kalavinskaitės publikacijos tikslas – remiantis Bažnyčios doku- mentais atskleisti, kaip Katalikų Bažnyčios liturgijoje įvairiais istoriniais laikotarpiais (I–XX a. pradžioje) kito choro samprata ir vaidmuo. Bendraautorių straipsnyje „Choras ARS et PRAXIS 2016 IV 5 Katalikų Bažnyčioje: samprata, repertuaras, atlikimo pobūdis“ analizuojami Bažnyčios dokumentai, apibūdinama choro samprata (sudėtis, profesionalumo lygmuo), aptaria- mos repertuaro ypatybės, atlikimo pobūdis, chorvedžių veikla ir atsakomybė. Vytauto Giedraičio publikacija „Prancūzų klarneto mokykla: estetika, stilius, repertuaras“ yra skirta svarbiausiems instrumento pedagogikos principams ir interpretacijos kultūrai. Iš- skirtinis dėmesys darbe tenka daugiau nei dviejų šimtų metų tradicijas puoselėjančiai Paryžiaus konservatorijai, kurioje susiformavo savitos pedagogikos, grojimo technikos, klarneto konstrukcijos tobulinimo, garso estetikos ir repertuaro plėtros tradicijos. Žurnalo Praxis dalį sudaro penki mokslo straipsniai. Meno doktorantė Paulė Gudi- naitė straipsnyje „Muzikos interpretacija kaip kultūrinio vertimo strategija: B. Britteno vokalinis ciklas „Septyni Michelangelo sonetai“ tenorui ir fortepijonui op. 22“ pateikia vieno reprezentatyviausių kamerinės vokalinės muzikos kūrinių, parašytų literatūrinio soneto poetiniu pagrindu, analizę dviem aspektais: kompoziciniu ir interpretaciniu. Au- torė, remdamasi intersemiotinio vertimo ir ekfrazės teorijomis, siekia semantiniu as- pektu atskleisti kompozitoriaus taikytas kultūrinio vertimo strategijas ir apibendrintai aptarti ciklo atlikimų interpretacijas iš muzikinės stilistikos perteikimo strategijų po- zicijos. Publikacija „Vibrato lietuvių kompozitorių kūriniuose fleitai solo: kūrėjo ir atli- kėjo dialogas“ – Eglės Juciūtės ir doc. dr. Laimos Budzinauskienės darbas apie vibrato techniką, panaudojimą ir užrašymą keturiuose lietuvių kompozitorių kūriniuose fleitai solo. Publikacijos tikslas – remiantis pasirinktais kūriniais aptarti kūrėjo ir atlikėjo ben- dradarbiavimą kūrybos ir vibrato užrašymo bei atlikimo procese. Meno kūrinių tyri- muose, gvildenant garso ir vaizdo ryšius, atsiskleidžiantys aspektai apžvelgiami Vyginto Orlovo straipsnyje „Meninio tyrimo aspektai garsovaizdžio studijose: lyginamoji atvejų analizė“. Doc. dr. Irena Alperytė skaitytojams pateiktame darbe „Symptoms of Cost Di- sease in Lithuanian State Theatre“ kelia hipotezę, kad esama Lietuvos valstybinė teatro valdymo sistema nepadeda teatrams greta meninių aukštumų siekti finansinės sėkmės. Pasak I. Alperytės, Lietuvos scenos menų organizacijų teisinis pagrindas nesikeičia nuo Nepriklausomybės pradžios, tad akivaizdu, kad įstatymų paketą reikia tobulinti,

  • A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy
    A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy The lengthy letter that follows was written by His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Piraeus, Seraphim, and His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Dryinoupolis, Andrew, both of the Church of Greece. It was sent to Pope Francis on April 10, 2014. The Orthodox Christian Information Center (OrthodoxInfo.com) assisted in editing the English translation. It was posted on OrthodoxInfo.com on Great and Holy Monday, April 14, 2014. The above title was added for the English version and did not appear in the Greek text. Metropolitan Seraphim is well known and loved in Greece for his defense of Orthodoxy, his strong stance against ecumenism, and for the philanthropic work carried out in his Metropolis (http://www.imp.gr/). His Metropolis is also well known for Greece’s first and best ecclesiastical radio station: http://www.pe912fm.com/. This radio station is one of the most important tools for Orthodox outreach in Greece. Metropolitan Seraphim was born in 1956 in Athens. He studied law and theology, receiving his master’s degree and his license to practice law. In 1980 he was tonsured a monk and ordained to the holy diaconate and the priesthood by His Beatitude Seraphim of blessed memory, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. He served as the rector of various churches and as the head ecclesiastical judge for the Archdiocese of Athens (1983) and as the Secretary of the Synodal Court of the Church of Greece (1985-2000). In December of 2000 the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarch elected him as an auxiliary bishop of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia in which he served until 2002.

  • Dositheos Notaras, the Patriarch of Jerusalem (1669-1707), Confronts the Challenges of Modernity
    IN SEARCH OF A CONFESSIONAL IDENTITY: DOSITHEOS NOTARAS, THE PATRIARCH OF JERUSALEM (1669-1707), CONFRONTS THE CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Christopher George Rene IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser Theofanis G. Stavrou SEPTEMBER 2020 © Christopher G Rene, September 2020 i Acknowledgements Without the steadfast support of my teachers, family and friends this dissertation would not have been possible, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to express my deep debt of gratitude and thank them all. I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, who together guided me through to the completion of this dissertation. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou provided a resourceful outlet by helping me navigate through administrative channels and stay on course academically. Moreover, he fostered an inviting space for parrhesia with vigorous dialogue and intellectual tenacity on the ideas of identity, modernity, and the role of Patriarch Dositheos. It was in fact Professor Stavrou who many years ago at a Slavic conference broached the idea of an Orthodox Commonwealth that inspired other academics and myself to pursue the topic. Professor Carla Phillips impressed upon me the significance of daily life among the people of Europe during the early modern period (1450-1800). As Professor Phillips’ teaching assistant for a number of years, I witnessed lectures that animated the historical narrative and inspired students to question their own unique sense of historical continuity and discontinuities. Thank you, Professor Phillips, for such a pedagogical example.

  • A Public Debate on Cyril of Alexandria's Views on The
    International Journal of the Classical Tradition https://doi.org/10.1007/s12138-019-00551-1 ARTICLE A Public Debate on Cyril of Alexandria’s Views on the Procession of the Holy Spirit in Seventeenth‑Century Constantinople: the Jesuit Reaction to Nicodemos Metaxas’s Greek Editions Nil Palabıyık1 © The Author(s) 2020 On a September afternoon in 1627, crowds gathered at the library of the Jesuit resi- dence in Constantinople to witness a lively public discussion between two repre- sentatives of the Roman Catholic Church concerning Cyril of Alexandria’s views on the procession of the Holy Spirit.1 It is interesting to see that a ffth-century church father’s writings in the context of a dispute dating back to the sixth century were still considered politically relevant, socially infuential and theologically compelling in seventeenth-century Constantinople. The primary aim of this rather ostentatious gathering was to adopt and promote a diferent (according to Eastern Christians an ‘erroneous’) viewpoint on Cyril of Alexandria’s writings on the procession of the Holy Spirit, and thereby to present a counter-argument to that of the Eastern Church. The Jesuit dispute ultimately targeted the theological stance and the reputation of Cyril Lucaris (1572–1638), the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople and the of- cial head of the populous Greek Orthodox millet of the Ottoman Empire. 1 Cyril of Alexandria’s opinion on this question is still controversial, but lies beyond the scope of this article. For a succinct overview, see A. E. Siecienski, The Filioque: History of a Doctrinal Controversy, Oxford, 2010, pp. 47–50.

  • The First Greek Printing Press in Constantinople (1625‐1628)
    The First Greek Printing Press in Constantinople (1625‐1628) NIL OZLEM PEKTAS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London (Royal Holloway and Bedford New College) June 2014 1 Candidate’s declaration: I confirm that this PhD thesis is entirely my own work. All sources and quotations have been acknowledged. The main works consulted are listed in the bibliography. Candidate’s signature: Date: 2 Abstract The thesis is a study of the first Greek printing house established in Constantinople in 1627‐1628 by the Greek monk Nikodemos Metaxas, who began his printing venture in London’s Fleet Street in 1625. The aim of the thesis is to explore the history of Metaxas’s press and examine the intricate web of relations behind the establishment and closure of his printing house. The study follows Metaxas’s arrival in London, his printing activities in England, the transportation of the printing device to the Ottoman capital, the books produced in Constantinople and the events leading to the confiscation of the press and its subsequent release. The research is based on published and unpublished material, including the diplomatic reports and the correspondence between English, French, Venetian and Dutch ambassadors, letters exchanged between George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Cyril Loukaris, the Patriarch of Constantinople; the letters of Sir Thomas Roe, English ambassador to the Porte, and other contemporary accounts of the event such as those collected by the clergymen Thomas Smith and Antoine Leger; and the extant copies of all printed volumes containing the treatises published by Metaxas in London, Constantinople and Cephalonia between 1624‐1628 and various manuscripts dispersed around the world relating to his publications.

  • Nicephorus Blemmydes on the Holy Trinity and the Paraconsistent Notion of Numbers: a Logical Analysis of a Byzantine Approach to the Filioque
    Studia Humana Volume 5:1 (2016), pp. 40—54 DOI: 10.1515/sh-2016-0004 Nicephorus Blemmydes on the Holy Trinity and the Paraconsistent Notion of Numbers: A Logical Analysis of a Byzantine Approach to the Filioque Basil Lourié St. Petersburg, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The paper deals with the most controversial – in the modern scholarly discussion – episode within the Byzantine polemics on the Filioque, Nicephorus Blemmydes‘ acknowledgement of proceeding of the Spirit through the Son providing that the Son be considered as generated through the Spirit. The logical intuition behind this theological idea is explicated in the terms of paraconsistent logic and especially of a kind of paraconsistent numbers called by the author ―pseudo-natural numbers‖. Such numbers could not be interpreted via the notion of ordered pair. Instead, they imply a known (first described by Emil Post in 1941) but still little studied logical connective ternary exclusive OR. Keywords: Nicephorus Blemmydes, Filioque, Spirituque, Triadology, paraconsistent logic, paraconsistent numbers. …cette intuition du nombre pur, la seule qui ne puisse nous tromper. Henri Poincaré [42, p. 122] ISSN 2299-0518 40 1. Introduction: Symmetric Formula “Through Each Other” The modern view that the dogma of the Trinity must be – in some way, at least, – logically consistent is not that of Byzantine Patristics. For Byzantine Fathers, it was normal to insist that the Trinity is beyond the human mind, because God is beyond any rational consistency. Thus, an ―implicit inconsistence‖ of the Trinity in Plantinga‘s sense1 was taken as granted. Nevertheless, the explicit logical frames of the dogma were often presented as consistent as possible.

    “A Painful Remembrance” 1924‐2004: The Eightieth Anniversary of the Calendar Reform Œcumenical Patriarch Meletios (Metaxakis) (87-935)* a) Freemason, b) Innovator, c) Ecumenist “He opened wide the gates to every innovation,” “satisfying the sinful wishes and self-serving desires of heterodox churches and secret societies” n a previous issue of ÉOryÒdojow ÖEnstasiw ka‹ Martur¤a,¹ Iwe reprinted an important article, in which the blessed Confes- sor-Hierarch Chrysostomos (Kavourides), former Metropolitan of Florina, observes that, “the inspirers and pioneers” of the reform of the Church Calendar, Patriarch Meletios (Metaxakis) of Constan- tinople (1871-1935) and Archbishop Chrysostomos (Papadopoulos) of Athens, “these two Luthers of the Orthodox Church,” “being devoid, unfortunately, of a deeply Orthodox spirit, knowingly or unknowingly became tools of foreign aspirations and designs, the aim of which was to sunder the unity of the Orthodox Churches.”² Additionally, there are, in the same article and in the commentary on the text, detailed references to the self-proclaimed “Pan-Orthodox Congress” of 1923, in Constantinople (May 10-June 8), and the issues pertaining thereto.³ Now, certain of the Faithful may have considered these charac- terizations harsh and excessive. Hence, the following questions arise, which require a clear and properly documented response, lest we give the impression of being artful slanderers: • Was Patriarch Meletios (Metaxakis) a tool “of foreign aspirations and designs”? • Was the calendar change carried out in good faith, and was it unrelated to the spirit of innovation and ecumenism that motivated Patriarch Meletios? • Was Patriarch Meletios a great precursor of ecumenism, which is both destructive to, and deadly for, the Church? Unfortunately, the historical evidence is conclusive and over- whelming, since it gives affirmative answers to these three inexorable questions.
