  • The Noble Families of Butovan and Botono in Medieval Zadar: Family Structure, Property Reconstruction, and Social Life1
    929.52Butovan 929.52Botono 94(497.5Zadar)’’12/13’’ Primljeno: 22. 5. 2019. Prihvaćeno: 17. 6. 2019. Izvorni znanstveni rad DOI: 10.22586/pp.v56i1.9177 Sandra Begonja* Zrinka Nikolić Jakus** The Noble Families of Butovan and Botono in Medieval Zadar: Family Structure, Property Reconstruction, and Social Life1 This paper presents the genealogy (family structure), urban family estates, and social life of the Zadar-based noble families of Butovan and Botono during the 13th and 14th centuries (until the 1390s) in order to determine their similarities and differences (whether they were one or two different families). Research has been based on various types of sources, primarily published and unpublished archival material preserved at the State Archive in Zadar (notarial and court documents). Keywords: medieval Zadar, noble families, genealogies, urban and social history The Zadar-based families of Butovan and Botono have not yet been in the focus of detailed research, and their individual members have mostly been mentioned only in studies on Zadar’s nobility or general topics related to the city’s past. Mo- dern historians have differed in their opinions on whether these were two diffe- rent families or a single one whose name has been recorded in different ways.2 * Sandra Begonja, Croatian Institute of History, Opatička 10, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia, E-mail: phelgor@ yahoo.co.uk ** Zrinka Nikolić Jakus, Department of History, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, Ivana Lučića 3, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia, E-mail: [email protected] 1 This study has been sponsored by the Croatian Science Foundation, project “Cities of the Croatian Middle Ages: Urban Elites and Urban Spaces (URBES), no.

  • Byzantium's Balkan Frontier
    This page intentionally left blank Byzantium’s Balkan Frontier is the first narrative history in English of the northern Balkans in the tenth to twelfth centuries. Where pre- vious histories have been concerned principally with the medieval history of distinct and autonomous Balkan nations, this study regards Byzantine political authority as a unifying factor in the various lands which formed the empire’s frontier in the north and west. It takes as its central concern Byzantine relations with all Slavic and non-Slavic peoples – including the Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians and Hungarians – in and beyond the Balkan Peninsula, and explores in detail imperial responses, first to the migrations of nomadic peoples, and subsequently to the expansion of Latin Christendom. It also examines the changing conception of the frontier in Byzantine thought and literature through the middle Byzantine period. is British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Keble College, Oxford BYZANTIUM’S BALKAN FRONTIER A Political Study of the Northern Balkans, – PAUL STEPHENSON British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow Keble College, Oxford The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK 40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA 477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia Ruiz de Alarcón 13, 28014 Madrid, Spain Dock House, The Waterfront, Cape Town 8001, South Africa http://www.cambridge.org © Paul Stephenson 2004 First published in printed format 2000 ISBN 0-511-03402-4 eBook (Adobe Reader) ISBN 0-521-77017-3 hardback Contents List ofmaps and figurespagevi Prefacevii A note on citation and transliterationix List ofabbreviationsxi Introduction .Bulgaria and beyond:the Northern Balkans (c.–) .The Byzantine occupation ofBulgaria (–) .Northern nomads (–) .Southern Slavs (–) .The rise ofthe west,I:Normans and Crusaders (–) .

  • Croatian Regions, Cities-Communes, and Their Population in the Eastern Adriatic in the Travelogues of Medieval European Pilgrims
    359 Croatian Regions, Cities-Communes, and Their Population in the Eastern Adriatic in the Travelogues of Medieval European Pilgrims Zoran Ladić In this article, based on the information gathered from a dozen medieval pilgrim travelogues and itineraries,1 my aim has been to indicate the attitudes, impressions, and experiences noted down by sometimes barely educated and at other times very erudite clerical and lay pilgrims, who travelled to the Holy Land and Jerusalem as palmieri or palmarii2 ultra mare and wrote about the geographical features of the Eastern Adriatic coast, its ancient and medieval monuments, urban structures, visits to Istrian and Dalmatian communes, contacts with the local population, encounters with the secular and spiritual customs and the language, the everyday behaviour of the locals, and so on. Such information is contained, to a greater or lesser extent, in their travelogues and journals.3 To be sure, this type of sources, especially when written by people who were prone to analyse the differences between civilizations and cultural features, are filled with their subjective opinions: fascination with the landscapes and cities, sacral and secular buildings, kindness of the local population, ancient monuments in urban centres, the abundance of relics, and the quality of 1 According to the research results of French historian Aryeh Graboïs, there are 135 preserved pilgrim journals of Western European provenance dating from the period between 1327 and 1498. Cf. Aryeh Graboïs, Le pèlerin occidental en Terre sainte au Moyen Âge (Paris and Brussels: De Boeck Université, 1998), 212-214. However, their number seems to be much larger: some have been published after Graboïs’s list, some have been left out, and many others are preserved at various European archives and libraries.

Zsolt Szakács, vol. 15 (2009), pp. 197-211 © dell’autore – Distribuito in formato digitale da “Reti Medievali”]. REVIVING THE MIDDLE AGES IN CROATIA* Trpimir Vedriš It is no exaggeration that the study of the Middle Ages has played a crucial role in the study of Croatian history since its establishment as an academic discipline in the second half of the nineteenth century.1 Th is special interest in medieval history, however, had little in common with what is nowadays called “medieval studies.” Research in Croatian medieval history, similarly to other countries in nineteenth- century Europe, was strongly linked to the process of nation building, which has been much discussed lately.2 One aspect of this legacy can serve as an appropriate point of departure here, namely, the factthat interest in the medieval period not only held the imagination of nineteenth-century Croatian “historian-politicians,” but also many (if not a majority) among the most prominent Croatian historians of the twentieth century were medievalists. With all the diff erences between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, medieval studies have always been “the most prominent and fruitful area of Croatian historiography.”3 Th e fall of Communism after 1989 and the fi nal dissolution of the multi- ethnic “fortress of socialism in the Balkans” during the war of 1991–1995 promised uncertain fortunes for Croatian history.
