  • Preda Buzescu – the Grand Ban of Craiova (1602-1608)
    SECTION: HISTORY AND CULTURAL MENTALITIES LDMD 2 PREDA BUZESCU – THE GRAND BAN OF CRAIOVA (1602-1608) Sorin Bulboacă, Assist. Prof. , PhD., ”Vasile Goldis” University of the West, Arad Abstract: During the 17th century, the grand ban of Craiova was the most important high official of Wallachia, most coveted by the big boyars, big dime with authority in the counties west of the river Olt.

  • Gidni 233 People and Places in the History Of
    Section – History and Cultural Mentalities GIDNI PEOPLE AND PLACES IN THE HISTORY OF TÂRGOVIŞTE Cristina Furtună, Assist., PhD Candidate, ”Valahia” University of Târgoviște Abstract: In history, Târgovişte has been an economic, administrative, political center but also a cultural one, particularly important for the Romanian culture. In Târgovişte, the topic of time returns obstinately (Prehistoric Time, Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance Time, Modern Time), understood according to the definition given to it by St. Augustine – mobile image of eternity. Antiquity represented time symbolically as a circle, with 12 astrological signs on it and whose center symbolized the eternity of being. Similarly, Târgovişte is an eternal city of the Oriental Roman world. The symbolical passage from temporal to spatial involves the material evidence, seen as an adversary of extinction in the being’s fight for eternity, concept that permanently joined the terrestrial representation of the existence, so present in the area of Târgovişte. Keywords: Târgovişte, book, writers, places, history, culture, time Introduction In time, Târgovişte has been an economic, administrative, political but also cultural centre, particularly important for the Romanian culture. It was first attested by the documents at the end of the 14th century and culturally thrived at the beginning of the 15th century. Different writing and communication experts appear (grămătici, pisari, dieci but also logofeţi and princely emissaries/ soli domneşti), assuring the commercial and diplomatic connection with the neighboring countries. Târgovişte was also a princely residence and has preserved the marks of its cultural institutions. It is in Târgovişte that the first Romanian grammar appeared and it is also here that erudite scholars such as Macarie, Udrişte Năsturel, senechal Constantin Cantacuzino and voivodes who set up cultural institutions (such as Radu cel Mare, Neagoe Basarab, Mihai Viteazul, Matei Basarab) carried out their activity.

  • 103 Considerations on the Appearance And
    CONSIDERATIONS ON THE APPEARANCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF HUMANITARIAN LEGISLATIVE NORMS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS DURING THE MIDDLE AGES Vitalie RUSU* Abstract During the Middle Ages, war did not aim at glory, but interests, and the peace state was not considered honourable, but humiliating, as initially, the causes of a war could be: the obligation to avenge an offence or a crime, the conflicts between suzerains and vassals, the campaigns against some cities or ending rebellions. Most of the time, for kings, land owners and knights, war was the best choice to prove their power and to increase their wealth. The reason was the spoils of war. However, in all those conflicts, human people were affected, thus generating the need to develop some specific norms in order to protect them. Keywords: Humanitarian Law, war, conflict evolution, early international relations 1. Introductory Remarks At the beginning of feudalism, conquest wars and wars carried out for obtaining supremacy on vast areas were very frequent, and the ways and methods used in fights were very cruel. Later on, the problem of arguing a ―rightful‖ war became a problem. In this respect, regardless of the country, we shall not overlook the following moments: - after the period of feudal conflicts (11th - 12th centuries) an active struggle for limiting and forbidding armed conflicts began. During the same period, the rule according to which war can only be declared by the king was established; - gradually, the so called legal grounds for a ―rightful‖ war appear, among them the returning of stolen property and the country‘s defence.

  • Bram Stoker's Vampire Trap : Vlad the Impaler and His Nameless Double
    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 narrative 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.

About 5500 B.C. the region was inhabited by Indo-European people, who in turn gave way to Thracian tribes. Today’s Romanians are in part descended from the Getae, a Thracian tribe that lived north of the Danube River. During the Bronze Age (about 2200 to 1200 B.C.), these Thraco-Getian tribes engaged in agriculture, stock raising, and trade with inhabitants of the Aegean Sea coast.

  • PRIMELE SCRISORI T~XPEDIATE DIN BUCUREŞTI, ÎN AFARA SPAŢIULUI ROMÂNESC
    PRIMELE SCRISORI t~XPEDIATE DIN BUCUREŞTI, ÎN AFARA SPAŢIULUI ROMÂNESC Gabriel Ciotoran Iubitorii de istorie sunt familiarizaţi cu scrisori din secolele XIX şi XX expediate din oraşul Bucureşti sau primite de diversele personalităţi ale acestuia. Acest articol aduce la cunoştinţa publicului larg patru scrisori trimise din oraşul acesta in secolul XVI, mai exact în ultimul sfert al acestuia. Lectura lor, destul de dificilă de altfel, !'sie un bun prilej de a constata ce era în mintea unor oameni din acele timpuri, ce probleme ~i obiceiuri aveau, mai ales că ei se aflau la cârma Ţării Româneşti, fiind printre puţinii care ~tiau să scrie! Scrisul lor era destul de agramat de altfel, după cum se constată. "În acele vremuri fără ziare, fără poştă, telegraf, relaţiile se 1 întreţineau prin viu grai ~i prin scrisori duse prin codrii şi paşunile munţilor sau peste mări şi ţări, de oameni de 1ncredere (mesageri) care aduceau şi răspunsurile. Foarte puţini oameni ştiau să scrie, acesta liind apanajul domnitorului şi a celor care îl înconjurau. Scrisorile erau în general scrise în limba slavonă, limba cancelariilor europene din Evul Mediu, sau în greacă cum este şi cazul celor 3 scrisori pe care le voi reda în întregime mai jos expediate de Ecaterina, mama lui Mihnea Turcitul (1577-1583;1585-1591) surorii sale Marioara care se afla la Veneţia şi în limba italiană în care este scrisă scrisoarea expediată de Pascal, un nepot al Ecaterinei, aceleiaşi Marioare, mama lui. Dacă primele scrisori expediate de Vlad Ţepeş şi Radu cel Frumos, în a doua jumătate a secolului al XV-iea fuseseră la Braşov, sau următoarele pe parcursul unui secol la Sibiu deci în cuprinsul spaţiului românesc, acestea au fost expediate în afara acestuia! Au urmat scrisori trimise de domni români, dogelui din Veneţia2 .

  • Greek As Ottoman? Language, Identity and Mediation of Ottoman Culture in the Early Modern Period1
    Greek as Ottoman? Language, identity and mediation of Ottoman culture in the early modern period1 MICHAŁ WASIUCIONEK New Europe College Bucharest/LuxFaSS Abstract The scope of the paper is to examine the role of Greek as a conduit for the flow of cultural models between the Ottoman centre and the Christian periphery of the empire. The Danubian principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia witnessed throughout the early modern period a number of linguistic shifts, including the replacement of Slavonic literature with the one written in vernacular. Modern Romanian historiography has portrayed cultural change was a teleological one, triggered by the monetization of economy and the rise of new social classes. What this model fails to explain, though, is the partial retrenchment of vernacular as a literary medium in the eighteenth century, as it faced the stiff competition of Greek. The aim of this paper is to look at the ascendancy of Greek in the Danubian principalities and corresponding socio-economic and political changes through Ottoman lens. Rather than a departure from the developments that facilitated the victory of Romanian over Slavonic, the proliferation of Greek can be interpreted as their continuation, reflecting the growing integration of Moldavian and Wallachian elites into the fabric of the Ottoman Empire at the time when a new socio-political consensus was reaching its maturity. By its association with Ottoman-Orthodox Phanariot elites, the Greek language became an important conduit by which the provincial elites were able to integrate themselves within the larger social fabric, while also importing new models from the imperial centre. Keywords: Ottoman Empire; Danubian principalities; Greek language; Identity; Early Modern Period In 1965, a prominent Romanian medievalist Petre P.

It was published by Ioan Constantin Filitti in 'Din arhivele Vaticanului', vol. 2 (Bucuresti, 1914), page 71. I have been able to locate three copies of this book by online library catalogue searches: Bucharest (Bucuresti), Padua (Padova) and New York. There are none in Britain - not even the British Library or the Bodleian in Oxford. (The BnF in Paris only has volume 1 of the two volume set). Here are the details. 1.

  • Semantic and Mental Boundaries in the Romanian-Hungarian Historical Dialogue on Transylvania Case Study: the Historical Film
    Semantic and Mental Boundaries in the Romanian-Hungarian Historical Dialogue on Transylvania Case Study: the Historical Film GABRIEL MOISA INCE THE Enlightenment the Romanian and Hungarian historiographies have Shad a permanent dialogue regarding Transylvania. In the context of the amplifi- cation of the Romanian national revival process, beginning with the middle of the 18th century, when bishop Ioan Inocentiu Micu-Klein and his Suplex Libellus Valachorum presented a first articulated view of the rights of the Romanians in Transylvania, the Hungarian reaction did not fail to appear. The Hungarian historiography set up a theory according to which the Romanians emerged as a people south of the Danube and migrated to Transylvania late in the Middle Ages and at the beginnings of moder- nity. The establishment of the modern Romanian state in 1859 gave new impetus to this historiographical movement, politicized by the political power in Budapest. The fact that the Transylvanian Romanians had a state to address their national hopes in a 19th century that essentially belonged to nationalities led to a terrible effort from the part of the Hungarian historiography concerning Transylvania to justify the control over a Transylvania where the Romanian population represented around 65% of the entire pop- ulation. Robert Roesler’s theory according to which the Romanian people emerged south of the Danube and later migrated to Transylvania was formulated precisely in this con- text. The theory was first brought to the attention of the public in 1871, in a volume entitled Romänische Studien. In fact, Robert Roesler articulated in an elevated way the theories of his 18th century predecessors who had argued with the representatives of the Transylvanian School.
