Rad. Inst. povij. umjet. 41/2017. (7–22) Already the manuscript missals from the early 14th century and the time of Bishop Augustin Kažotić, the reformer of Zagreb’ s liturgy, include special liturgical texts for the holy Hungarian kings.11 As for their visual representations, they are not found in the preserved medieval missals of the Zagreb cathedral. However, if not within the books, the figures of the Hungarian rulers, especially St Stephen as the cathedral’ s patron and St Ladislas as its founder, are found in a place that is even more representative and visually prominent: the covers of liturgical books. Although no medieval examples are preserved here either, their existence is attested in the oldest inventories of the cathedral from 1394 and 1425, which document a benedictionale in silver casing bearing the figure of St Stephen. Dated to the 13th–14th century, this benedictional has remained preserved among the cathedral’ s treasures and still is – only without the casing.12 It may be presumed that such casings with the depictions of the holy Hungarian kings adorned some other medieval liturgical books intended for ceremonies held in the cathedral. Two more examples from a later period witness the pres- ence of the Hungarian rulers on the representative covers of books used for festive occasions in the cathedral. The first is a so-called plenarium, a relief plate commissioned by the then provost and later bishop of Zagreb, Franjo Ergeljski, and produced in 1606 by Ivan Mihallfy, a goldsmith from Zagreb.13 Besides the commissioner’ s personal patron, Saint Francis, the plenarium features a holy queen and Saint Ste- phen.

БОГУНОВИЋ УДК 94(497.11) Нови Сад Оригиналан научни рад Република Србија Примљен: 21.01.2018 Одобрен: 23.02.2018 Страна: 577-600 GENS VLACHORUM IN HISTORIA SERBORUMQUE SLAVORUM (Vlachs in the History of the Serbs and Slavs) Part 1 Summary: This article deals with the issue of the term Vlach, that is, its genesis, dis- persion through history and geographical distribution. Also, the article tries to throw a little more light on this notion, through a multidisciplinary view on the part of the population that has been named Vlachs in the past or present. The goal is to create an image of what they really are, and what they have never been, through a specific chronological historical overview of data related to the Vlachs. Thus, it allows the reader to understand, through the facts presented here, the misconceptions that are related to this term in the historiographic literature. Key words: Vlachs, Morlachs, Serbs, Slavs, Wallachia, Moldavia, Romanian Orthodox Church The terms »Vlach«1, or later, »Morlach«2, does not represent the nationality, that is, they have never represented it throughout the history, because both of this terms exclusively refer to the members of Serbian nation, in the Serbian ethnic area. –––––––––––– [email protected] 1 Serbian (Cyrillic script): влах. »Now in answer to all these frivolous assertions, it is sufficient to observe, that our Morlacchi are called Vlassi, that is, noble or potent, for the same reason that the body of the nation is called Slavi, which means glorious; that the word Vlah has nothing

Kollár, who left the Jesuits early in his career, authored works defending the rights of the Hun- garian crown, and chronicled the history of the Rusyn people, ultimately achieved an international reputation as a scholar, coining the term ethnologia. Pray is remembered for his discovery of the oldest written example of the Hungarian language, his exten- sive historical publications, and for his role, following the papal suppression of 1773, as “Historiographus Hungariae” (Hungary’s hagiographer). The impact of these scholarly efforts by these former Jesuits was a rich and enduring foundation upon which later Hungarian historiography and library science would be based. Keywords Enlightenment – Jesuit – Adam František Kollár – György (Georgius) Pray The decades both immediately preceding and following the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 were a time of intellectual ferment in the Habsburg lands east of the Leitha.

Politically, the most important area was the medieval Kingdom of Dalmatia–Croatia, which stretched from the mountain chains of the Dinaric Alps to the Adriatic Sea. This was an independent kingdom in the early Middle Ages, but was united with Hungary around the beginning of the twelfth century. It retained nonetheless a certain measure of autonomy which was demonstrated in its institutional organization (a governor or ban, a separate diet, counties, and so on) in which the aristocracy and nobility played the leading role. In respect of its social organization, the kingdom had two very different parts: the coastal cities with their communal organization and autonomy; and the hinterland which was divided into counties governed by royal officials or hereditary counts. The coastal part of the kingdom alternated between the rule of the kings of Hungary–Croatia and the rule of Venice, with Venice taking over the region at the beginning of the fifteenth century (with the exception of Dubrovnik).

  • Attila Hárány
    THE LAST REX CRUCESIGNATUS, EDWARD I, AND THE MONGOL ALLIANCE Attila Hárány This study explores the crusading efforts of Edward I, king of England (1272— 1307), in the last decades of the thirteenth century. It investigates the reason why the Plantagenet ruler was highly respected as the only athleta Christi on whom all the Christian powers laid their hopes to withstand the Muslims. I would not like to provide a detailed overview of King Edward's 1270 crusade, but give an analysis of the king's role and introduce his motives in the mirror of the expectations of the West. Edward I never ceased to support the negotium Terrae Sanctae, and after the fall of Acre he was treated as the apostle of the recuperatio. Edward was the only ruler in Europe to realize how rational it was to ally with the Mongols; therefore here I am examining Edward's life-long struggle to have an alliance with these pagans acknowledged. I am not giving an overview of the formation of the Franco-Mongol alliance from the late 1240s. Nevertheless, it has to be noted at the outset that England, and especially her monarch, Edward, played a primary role in the endeavors to establish not only political but strategic and tactical cooperation with the Il-Khans of Persia against the Mamluks. The Plantagenets were much concerned with taking a stand in the crusading enterprises and were the first to seek knowledge about the Mongols. They were well aware of the Tatars' superior military machinery. I will give a few snapshots of how they obtained direct knowledge about the Mongols, for instance, the letters incorporated in Matthew Paris' Chronica Majora.1 The Carmen Miserabile of Rogerius, Dean of Várad (Oradea) must also have been known to them through Rogerius' patron, the English Cardinal John Toletanus, and his circle, the English delegates at the Council of Lyons I.

  • Audience with Participants in the Pilgrimage from Albania
    N. 181119e Monday 19.11.2018 Audience with participants in the pilgrimage from Albania At 17.00 this afternoon, in the Clementine Hall of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Holy Father Francis received in audience the participants in the pilgrimage from Albania, in Rome on the occasion of the 550th anniversary of the death of George Castriota Skanderbeg, Albanese national hero. The following is the Pope’s address to those present: Address of the Holy Father Dear brothers and sisters, I am glad to give a special welcome to you, gathered here on the occasion of the 550th anniversary of the death of your national hero George Castriota Skanderbeg. I thank Madam Ambassador for her kind words. I address a thankful greeting to those present and a thought to all Albanese people, in their homeland and in other parts of the world who, in the name of the ancient bond of friendship and the customary relations, always look with affection to the See of Peter. And in this sense I like to remember that fifty years ago Saint Paul VI wished to receive an Albanese representation. Albania, land of ancient and glorious history, is an integral part of Europe, and through its most noble and living traditions it documents the origins of its own civilization. Today we remember and celebrate George Castriota Skanderbeg, the heroic son of a strong and generous people, who defended with courage the spiritual values and Christian name, to the point of meriting the title of “Athleta Christi”, and who forged with his gestures the Albanese cultural identity, becoming the undisputed symbol of national cohesion and unity, and the supreme interpreter of the values of scrupulous fidelity to freely-undertaken commitments.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This thesis provides a look the fundamental programmatic articles of the Croatian National Revival. It attempts to first contextualize the Croatian national movement within the context of the Habsburg Monarchy, and especially in regards to the relationship of Croatia and Hungary. Secondly, the thesis attempts to explore the possible continuity between the ideology of the Croatian National Revival and the Enlightenment. This is done using some of the fundamental documents of the national movement. Looking at the political program of the national movement, I attempt to identify the influences of the Enlightenment in both explicit and implicit level. Furthermore, as this thesis is on a fundamental level concerned with nationalism, I will explore the interaction between the political programs of the national movement and historical narratives as both are often found in the same text.
