  • The Greek “Proto-Question” and the Birth of Modern Citizenship
    Chapter 1 The Greek “Proto-Question” and the Birth of Modern Citizenship 1 Natives and Foreigners under the Old Regime In 1611 a group of Wallachian boyars, led by the mare stolnic (High Steward) Bărcan of Merișani, plotted the assassination of the ruling Prince Radu Mihnea (r. 1611–1616). The attack was intended as retaliation for the fact that Radu Mihnea “surrounded them with numerous Greeks from Istanbul and Rumeli,” as a local chronicler reported.1 The plot was soon discovered by the Prince, who decapitated Bărcan along with eight other great boyars. This dramatic episode—the first instance in the Principalities’ history when “blood was spilled because of the Greeks,” as the historian A. D. Xenopol put it—marked the outbreak of what, in retrospect, Romantic historiography would term the “Greek Question” in Moldavia and Wallachia.2 Over the next two centuries (1611–1821), this “question” unfolded as a succession of violent anti-Greek plots, uprisings and legal campaigns by the local nobility and merchants against the unchecked political penetration and dominance of Ottoman Greeks. After the initial 1611 plot, a second major anti-Greek uprising took place during the reign of Alexandru Iliaș (r. 1616–1618); a third under Alexandru Coconul (r. 1623–1627); a fourth under Leon Tomșa (r. 1629–1632); a fifth under Matei Basarab (r. 1632–1654); a sixth under Radu Leon (r. 1664–1669); a seventh under Nicolae Mavrocordat (r. 1716–1717); and, finally, an eighth under Ioan Gheorghe Caragea (r. 1812–1818). This last uprising culminated with the 1821 failed coop- eration and eventual conflict between Tudor Vladimirescu and the Greek un- derground organization Philiki Hetaireia (Society of Friends), leading to the end of Phanariot rule.

  • Silks and Stones: Fountains, Painted Kaftans, and Ottomans in Early Modern Moldavia and Wallachia*
    SILKS AND STONES: FOUNTAINS, PAINTED KAFTANS, AND OTTOMANS IN EARLY MODERN MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA* MICHAŁ WASIUCIONEK** Buildings are arguably the last thing that comes to our mind when we talk about circulation of luxury goods and diffusion of consumption practices. Their sheer size and mass explain their tendency to remain in one place throughout their existence and bestow upon them an aura of immutability. This “spatial fix” of the built environment, both in terms of individual buildings and architectural landscapes, means that while they may change hand, they are unable to move across space. This immobility is by no means absolute, as shown by the well-known relocation of the Pergamon altar from western Anatolia to the Museum Island in Berlin, or shorter distances covered by dozens of churches in Bucharest, displaced from their original sites during the urban reconstruction of the 1980s. However, these instances do not change the fact that while both buildings and smaller luxury items constitute vehicles conveying their owners’ wealth and social status, they seemingly belong to two different realms, with little overlap between them. However, as scholarship produced in recent decades has shown, approaching these two spheres of human activity as a dynamic and interactive whole can produce valuable insights into how architecture and luxury commodities construed and expressed social and political identity. As Alina Payne pointed out, buildings and whole sites could become portable and travel by proxy, in the form of drawings, descriptions, and fragments of buildings.1 At the same time, the architectural environment provides the spatial frame for the social and cultural life of humans and objects alike: the spatial distribution of luxury items within the household allows us to reconstruct the topography of conspicuous display and everyday * This study was supported by the ERC-2014-CoG no.

  • Posteritatea Lui Radu Mihnea (Moldova Și Ţara Românească Între 1626 Și 1633
    Valentin A. Constantinov Posteritatea lui Radu Mihnea (Moldova și Ţara Românească între 1626 și 1633. Confruntări interne și externe) Domniile lui Radu Mihnea din Ţara Românească și Moldova au lăsat o impresie puter- nică în epocă. Personalitatea puternică a acestui voievod, realizarea pe cale diplomatică a uniunii dinastice a celor două ţări române extracarpatice reprezenta o confi rmare a pretenţi- ilor domnului român de mare suveran, iar realizările lui deschideau un nou capitol în istoria Ţărilor Române. Schimbările de pe eșichierul politic sud-est european, disputele marilor puteri pentru de- ţinerea autorităţii în acest spaţiu au impus alinierea politicii românești la exigenţele timpului. De aceea, prin acţiunile sale, Radu Mihnea a fost nevoit să respecte regulile jocului impuse de mai marii timpului și să se racordeze principiilor dictate de diferitele conjuncturi din această perioadă. De remarcat că acest lucru i-a reușit deplin. Totodată, este importantă și moștenirea politică a acestui domn, care a ajuns, la un moment dat, să-și impună autoritatea sa deplină în Moldova și Ţara Românească. Or, din mai multe puncte de vedere, personalitatea lui poate fi înţeleasă mai bine dacă se ia în considerare posteritatea lui. Mai multe dintre aspectele socie- tăţii românești de după domniile lui Radu Mihnea se leagă, în mod nemijlocit, de moștenirea acestui domn și de măsurile care au fost întreprinse în timpul lui. Astfel, vom putea remarca imitarea de către titularii scaunelor domnești ale Moldovei și Ţării Românești a unor modele promovate de către Radu Mihnea. Un aspect important al posterităţii lui Radu Mihnea îl reprezintă continuitatea liniilor politice și ideologice promovate de către acesta în timpul domniilor sale din Moldova și Ţara Românească.

XIV-XVI) Ediţie îngrijită de GHEORGHE LAZĂR EDITURA ENCICLOPEDICĂ BUCUREŞTI, 1996 Coperta colecţiei: Veniamin & Veniamin ISBN: 973-454)170-6 CUVÂNT ÎNAINTE Timp de milenii, până în vremea revoluţiilor urbane şi industriale, pământul a fost în viaţa societăţilor umane sursa principală de avuţie şi putere. Stăpânirea pământului a constituit fundamentul pe care s-au structurat relaţiile sociale şi raporturile politice în I lumea arhaică. Cunoaşterea cât mai temeinică a formelor de stăpânire a pământului, a raporturilor sociale generate de ele, este cheia înţelegerii unora din cele mai însemnate realităţi ale trecutului omenirii. Şi în lumea românească medievală, stăpânirea pământului a fost temelia struc- turării principalelor categorii sociale, a determinării raporturilor stabilite între ele şi, produs superior al acestor sedimentări, a închegării şi evoluţiei sistemului de guvernare a societăţii. Ca pretutindeni în Europa medievală, şi în societatea românească a acelei vremi, domeniul a constituit realitatea social-economică precumpănitoare. Orice contribuţie la cunoaşterea acestei realităţi structurale e un pas însemnat în direcţia înţelegerii, la nivelul factorilor determinanţi, a trecutului românesc în îndelungatul răstimp al predominării economiei agrare. Nimeni în istoriografia românească nu a abordat mai cuprinzător şi mai pătrunzător această realitate esenţială a lumii româneşti medievale decât Ion Donat. Spirit lucid şi cercetător pasionat, el a îmbinat în chip fericit competenţe multiple care şi-au pus pecetea asupra scrierilor sale. Istoric prin vocaţia sa fundamentală, Ion Donat şi-a îndreptat de timpuriu cercetările spre problematica istoriografică majoră, în spiritul novator al şcolii istorice şi sociologice din vremea sa, care i-au influenţat gândirea şi activitatea.

  • Aspects of Political Relations Between Transylvania and the Polish- Lithuanian Union Between 1613 and 1618
    Annals of the „Constantin Brâncuși” University of Târgu Jiu, Letter and Social Science Series, Issue 1/2014 ASPECTS OF POLITICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN TRANSYLVANIA AND THE POLISH- LITHUANIAN UNION BETWEEN 1613 AND 1618 Ciprian RAD Phd. Greek-Catholic High School “Inochentie Micu”, Cluj-Napoca ABSTRACT: THE REIGN OF GABRIEL BETHLEN (1613 – 1629) COINCIDES WITH A PERIOD IN WHICH THE PRINCIPALITY OF TRANSYLVANIA HAD ITS GOLDEN AGE. DURING THE SAME TIME, THE POLISH- LITHUANIAN UNION, LED BY KING SIGISMUND III VASA, WAS A RISING STATE DESPITE THE NUMEROUS CONFLICTS CONFRONTED OVER POWER WITH ITS NEIGHBOURING STATES SWEDEN, RUSSIA AND OTTOMAN EMPIRE. UNDER OTTOMAN SUZERANITY, THE PRINCIPALITY OF TRANSYLVANIA, PURSUED, IN GENERAL, FOREIGN POLICIES WITHIN THE LIMITS DICTATED BY THE LATTER. THE POLITICAL RELATIONS OF TRANSYLVANIA WITH ITS GREAT NORTHERN NEIGHBOR WERE NOT ONLY INFLUENCED BY THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS BUT WERE ALSO INFLUENCED BY THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE’S INTERESTS OR THE ROMAN-GERMAN EMPIRE, WHOSE RELATIONS WERE STRONG TO THESE STATES. PRIOR TO THE START OF THE 30 YEARS WAR, IN WHICH THE TRANSYLVANIAN PRINCE PARTICIPATED, ALONG THE GREAT POWERS AND THE OTTOMANS AGAINST THE POLISH-LITHUANIAN UNION, GABRIEL BETHLEN STRENGHTENED ITS RULE DURING 1613-1618. THE HABSBURGS, WHO DICTATED FROM VIENNA, WERE THE DIRECT ENEMIES OF THE PRINCE. THE STATE GABRIEL BETHLEN RULED WAS CONSIDEREDC BY THE HABSBURG AS THEIR STATE OVER WHICH HAD THE INHERENT RIGHT TO RULE. HOWEVER, THE VERY SAME HABSBURG RULERS WERE THE ONLY ALLIES OF THE KING SIGISMUND III. IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, SIGISMUND HAD OFFERED LIMITED INDIRECT SUPPORT TO BETHLEN’S OPPONENTS OF FEAR OF BREAKING OUT A CONFLICT WITH THE SUZERAIN POWER OF TRANSYLVANIA.

    BRAM STOKER’S VAMPIRE TRAP VLAD THE IMPALER AND HIS NAMELEss DOUBLE BY HANS CORNEEL DE ROOS, MA MUNICH EMAIL: [email protected] HOMEPAGE: WWW.HANSDEROOS.COM PUBLISHED BY LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY ELECTRONIC PREss S-581 83 LINKÖPING, SWEDEN IN THE SERIES: LINKÖPING ELECTRONIC ARTICLES IN COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE SERIES EDITOR: PROF. ERIK SANDEWALL AbsTRACT Since Bacil Kirtley in 1958 proposed that Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula, the best known literary character ever, shared his historical past with the Wallachian Voivode Vlad III Dracula, an intense debate about this connection has developed and other candidates have been suggested, like the Hungarian General János Hunyadi – a proposal resurfacing in the most recent annotated Dracula edition by Leslie Klinger (2008). By close-reading Stoker’s sources, his research notes and the novel, I will demonstrate that Stoker’s novel initially links his Count to the person of Vlad III indeed, not Hunyadi, although the novelist neither knew the ruler’s first name, nor his father’s name, nor his epithet “the Impaler”, nor the cruelties attributed to him. Still – or maybe for this very reason – Stoker did not wish to uphold this traceable identity: In Chapter 25, shortly before the decisive chase, he removes this link again, by way of silent substitution, cloaked by Professor van Helsing’s clownish distractions. Like the Vampire Lord Ruthven, disappearing through the “vampire trap” constructed by James R. Planché for his play The Brides of the Isles in the English Opera House, later renamed to Lyceum Theatre and run by Stoker, the historical Voivode Vlad III Dracula is suddenly removed from the stage: In the final chapters, the Vampire Hunters pursue a nameless double.

  • The Middle Ages in Romania Began with the Withdrawal of the Mongols
    The Middle Ages in Romania began with the withdrawal of the Mongols, the last of the migrating populations to invade the territory of modern Romania, after their attack of 1241– 1242. It came to an end with the reign of Michael the Brave (1593–1601) who managed, for a short time in 1600, to rule Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania, the three principalities whose territories were to be united some three centuries later to form Romania. Over most of this period, Banat, Crişana, Maramureş and Transylvania – now regions in Romania to the west of the Carpathian Mountains – were part of the Kingdom of Hungary. They were divided into several types of administrative units, such as "counties" and "seats". The heads of the Transylvanian counties or "counts" were subordinated to a special royal official called voivode, but the province was seldom treated as a single unit, since the Székely and Saxon seats were administered separately. In the kingdom, Romanian peasants, being Orthodox, were exempt from the tithe, an ecclesiastical tax payable by all Roman Catholic commoners. However, Romanian noblemen slowly lost the ability to participate in political life, as the 14th-century monarchs pursued a zealous pro- Catholic policy. Their position became even worse after 1437 when the so-called "Union of Three Nations", an alliance of the Hungarian noblemen, the Székelys, and the Saxons, was formed in order to crush the Bobâlna peasant uprising. Wallachia, the first independent medieval state between the Carpathians and the lower Danube was created when Basarab I (c. 1310–1352) terminated the suzerainty of the king of Hungary with his victory in the battle of Posada in 1330.
