WEST EUROPEAN SEAL MATRICES from COLLECTION of NICOLAY LIKHACHEV the Article Discusses the Corpus of West European Seal Matrices Kept at the Scientific Archives of St
Вестник СПбГУ. История. 2017. Т. 62. Вып. 2 E. I. Nosova WEST EUROPEAN SEAL MATRICES FROM COLLECTION OF NICOLAY LIKHACHEV The article discusses the corpus of West European seal matrices kept at the Scientific Archives of St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Previously, they were part of a collection of academician N. P. Likhachev (1862–1936). In the course of attribution we have found three matrices which seem to be absolutely identical to those from the museum collection in the town of Bassano del Grappa, Italy, which previously belonged to the Count Antonio Maria Luigi Calzamatta (1827–1905). This enabled a clarification of the earlier history of the two collections, which proved a genealogical connection with the collection of Count Giovanni Lazzara (1621–1690). This collec- tion was so well known that Christina, Queen of Sweden, wanted to buy it. Evidently after the death of Giovanni Lazzara collection was sold to the Cabinet of Louis XIV (The Cabinet of medals of the French National Library). However, this theory is not justified. In another version the collection was bought by Nicolas-Joseph Foucault (1643–1721), politician and honorary member of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres. After changing several owners, Foucault’s collection came in 1727 in the cabinet of medals, except the seals. At the same time, some of the matrices from Lazzara’s collec- tion are kept nowadays in the Bottacin Museum in Padua. Most likely, the seals did not leave Italy, and N. P. Lihachev acquired his matrices there, but not in France. -

The Jews of Vsetín and the Historical Memory of the Holocaust
Forgotten?: The Jews of Vsetín and the Historical Memory of the Holocaust Petra Dřevojánková Bachelor Thesis 2012 ABSTRAKT Tato bakalářská práce si klade za cíl prozkoumat motivy, které vedly obyvatele Vsetínska k spoluúčasti na vraţdě téměř celé místní ţidovské komunity během holokaustu, a vysvětluje skutečnosti, které přispěly k tomu, ţe historická paměť místních obyvatel týkající se jak Ţidů, tak vědomí spoluúčasti na zániku této menšiny, upadla v zapomnění. Zkoumáním vývoje antisemitismu, který negativně ovlivnil společenské postavení Ţidů na Valašsku, dokazuje důleţitost této menšiny v historickém, sociálním, ekonomickém a politickém kontextu. Výsledky této studie ukazují, ţe fenomén holokaustu byl odstraněn ze všeobecného povědomí do té míry, ţe většina současných obyvatel nejen ţe netuší, jak významnou úlohu Ţidé v regionu Vsetínska měli, ale především, ţe se místní obyvatelstvo úmyslně podílelo na vraţdě více neţ čtyř set příslušníků této komunity. Klíčová slova: Ţidé, ţidovská komunita, holokaust, antisemitismus, Vsetínsko, Valašsko, historická paměť, menšina, nacismus ABSTRACT The aim of this bachelor‟s thesis is to examine the motives, that led the residents of the Vsetín Region into complicity in the murder of almost the entire local Jewish community during the Holocaust, and to explain how the historical memory of Vsetín‟s Jewry and the culpability of the local non-Jewish inhabitants sank into oblivion. Despite nearly constant anti-Semitism that negatively affected the societal status of the Jews in Wallachia, this work proves the importance and vitality of this community in historical, social, economic and political contexts. The research indicates that the Holocaust was deliberately eliminated from the general awareness to the point that most of the modern-day inhabitants of Vsetín are not aware either of the significance of the Jews in the Vsetín Region or of the complicity of locals in the demise of more than 400 members of the local Jewish community. -

Perception of Common Sense of Slavic Community in Polish and Bohemian Medieval Chronicles
http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2084-140X.03.06 Studia Ceranea 3, 2013, p. 83–100 Adam Mesiarkin (Bratislava) Examining the Slavic identity in Middle Ages Perception of common sense of Slavic community in Polish and Bohemian Medieval Chronicles The closing report of a press centre of the organizing committee of the tenth Slavic Congress (Kiev, November 2010) does not discuss only a concept of the lit- erary reciprocity. Firstly, it presents a complex ideological program which includes cultural, economical as well as political integration. Secondly, it encourages work with the youth, ecological education and inspires re-establishment of the forgot- ten spirituality. The report also highlights the necessity of mutual communica- tion among scholars, journalists, politicians, artists, sportsmen and businessmen1. There is no need to emphasise that the main idea of this congress – in the mecha- nism of throwback– refers to the distant historical Slavic unity. The identification with the ethnonym Slav has alternately appeared in both Czech and Polish history along the development of an idea of Slavic nations/tribes’ congeniality. The question of Slavic identity is essentially interconnected with such terms as ethnogenesis and topogenesis. The problem is that a great number of previous- ly published works intended to discuss ethnogenesis does not address the ques- tions of mechanisms behind the emergence of the Slavic identity. This has been caused by inadequate methodology as well as terminology. Since written accounts are rather scarce, it is necessary to apply an archaeological and a linguistic ap- proach while researching the question of Slavic ethnogenesis as a process of form- ing and transforming identity. -
Historic Centre of Vienna
WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. -

Parliament in Its Temporary Accommodation SANIERUNG PARLAMENT at the Centre of the Republic
Parliament in its temporary accommodation SANIERUNG PARLAMENT At the centre of the Republic In summer 2017 the time had arrived: Parliament moved to the Hof- burg Palace and thus made way for the refurbishment of the histori- cal building on the well-known Ringstraße boulevard in Vienna. This meant that the area around the Hofburg Palace would be the main setting for parliamentary activities in the coming years. The National Council (the first chamber of Parliament) and the Federal Council (the second chamber) are now meeting in the Große Redoutensaal (Grand Ballroom) of the Palace, which has been converted for this purpose. The decision on the location of the temporary premises also has great symbolic significance: Parliament’s presence in the very centre of the capital and the Republic is a statement about its importance and ensures the heart of democracy in Austria remains visible and also accessible to the population during the period of the renovation work.

Heinrich Kramer/Institoris and the Czech Lands. with a Special Focus on the Activities of Institoris in Olomouc in 1499–1505
e-Rhizome, 2019; Vol. 1(1), 23–59 ISSN 2571-242X https://doi.org/10.5507/rh.2019.002 Heinrich Kramer/Institoris and the Czech Lands. With a Special Focus on the Activities of Institoris in Olomouc in 1499–1505 Petr Kreuz Prague City Archives Abstract In the last years of his life the author of the Hammer of Witches (Malleus Maleficarum), the Black (Dominican) friar Heinrich Kramer-Institoris held the office of papal inquisitor for the Bohemian (Czech) Lands. This period of his life is closely connected with his stay in the Olomouc diocese, specifically in the city of Olomouc (germ. Olmütz). Institoris was installed as inquisitor for the Bohemian Lands already in January 1499 by Pope Alexander VI, evidently at the instigation of the bishop of Olomouc Stanislav (Stanislaus) Thurzo. Institoris held the aforementioned office from 1499 until the end of his lifetime. The date of his death is traditionally quoted as the year 1505.

PhDr. Petr Kreuz, Dr., Archiv hlavního města Prahy, Archivní 6, 149 00 Praha 4, Czech Republic e-mail: [email protected] There has been, if not intensive, at least relatively thorough interest within Czech linguistic Church historiograhy in the twentieth century to Institoris’ activities in Olomouc. The focus has been initially on his tractates against the Bohemian (Moravian) Brethren Clypeus and Adversus as well as to his public disputes with representatives of the (then de iure il-
