The Balkan Peninsula was always the point of encounter between Orient and Occident. From the remotest dawn of history up to the present time, events of which the eastern Mediterranean and the Balkan Peninsula have been and are con- influence tinually the scene have always had a vitally determining on the destinies of both East and West. There of old, near the Dardanelles, was the scene of the war of Troy, momentous in its time; there came the Persian armies crossing the Hellespont and the Danube, in defence of Persia's possessions in Asia Minor against the Thracians, which brought about the conflict between Hellas and Persia, the battles of Marathon and Salamis; thence went Alexander the Great carrying victoriously the culture of the Occident to the Orient up to the gates of India. With the anni- hilation of Carthage by Rome and the mastery of the Mediterranean and all its lands the Balkan Peninsula became part of the Roman world. During centuries the "Pax Romana," the result of that universal in Far conquest, developed between the isles of Britain the West and over Trans- China, crossing Europe to the Persian Gulf and India and oxiana a vast intercommerce whose golden treasure poured sooner or — which later along all those roads which led to Rome that old Rome its ex- had its Wall Street, with its corporations, its stock gambling, line of merchan- changes and financial conjuring. The interminable over far took its dise between rising and setting sun, lost horizons, way west across eastward then, as now, by the great land road from the 423 424 THE SERVIAN PEOPLE the Balkan Peninsula and the Bosphorus, and in Asia along the line to-day traced out for the future Bagdad railway; so the commerce of the world still seeks the beaten tracks traced out by nature, and only for a time may be turned from its natural route by political or other artificially created conditions, temporary in essence. Rome and Persia alone were the two great States holding the fiat of the world. They alone had imposed recognition on mankind of their legitimacy and legal international standing. And every State of Me- diaeval Europe based its legitimacy on that of ancient Rome. The conception of the universality of the Roman Catholic Church and its plan of world domination is the persistency of that ancient idea of Roman Universal Empire. The German Empire, the Austrian Empire, the French Empire of Napoleon, all were in their creation the assertion of the Divine Right and continuity of the ancient western Roman Empire; while Russia is the persistency of the eastern Roman Empire, and Turkey was in reality the reincarnation of the old Persian dominion coming to sit on the throne of Byzance. With the halving of the ancient Roman Empire into East and West, and the transference of the Imperial seat from Rome to Constantinople, was created the Near Eastern problem of the Middle Ages. Basing themselves on the principle that the transference of the Roman Emperors from Rome to Byzance meant the abandonment by them of universal Roman rule, the Roman Catholic Popes assumed for themselves the old Roman pretension to world-rule, arrogating supreme power to the Pope as sole legal repository of universal authority, the divinely qualified giver of kingly license, from whom alone "Kingdoms and Empires" should roll "like plates dropped from his pocket." In the promulgation of that pretension the Pope came into conflict with the Roman Emperor at Byzance and the Eastern half of the Christian world, causing the great schism in Christendom, cutting it into the Eastern and the Western Church. As a mighty arm in the attempt to subdue the Byzantine Emperor and force the Eastern Church under Rome, the Pope re-erected the "Holy Roman Empire" with the crowning of Charlemagne in 800, but his creation was a Roman Empire "of Germanic tongue." THE GENERAL SITUATION 425 of The cutting up Charlemagne's Empire by the treaty of Verdun rise to eternal in gave another question European politics, the contest through the ages for the possession of the Rhine.^ But the "Holy Roman Empire of Germanic tongue" did not fulfil of it as the mission expected dominator of Byzance. The Papal pre- tensions of supreme authority came to clash with the very Emperors whom the Popes had created. These contests between Pope and Emperor brought forth in the west the long and bitter wars of Guelfs and Ghibellines. The Pope sought soldiers and allies in his battles against the Emperor in Germany, the Emperor in Byzance, and the Schismatic Church. Such allies were found in the French Anjous, in the Normans, and in the Rulers of Poland, of Bohemia, and of Hungary. With the advent of Mahomet the conquering Arab hordes streamed westward in two armies, one across the north of Africa to Spain and France, the other to Constantinople. The Saracens in the west were driven back from France across the Pyrennees, and afterward from Spain, the tide slowly receding during centuries; those in the east being pressed back from the Bosphorus retreated southward to Syria. With one vast sweep of conquest was created the mighty Saracenic Empire, stretching from Spain across Africa and Asia to the borders of India under the rule of the Khalifs, the successors of Mahomet. The sole great force binding together those vast reaches of peoples was the single flame of conquest. Once those whirlwinds past and spent, their fires burnt out, came dismemberment with the same rapidity, and there was a falling back of the various peoples into the temper of their usual existence.

    ПЕТАР Б. 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

    ПРОБУЂЕНИ АРХИВ - Нова музичка едиција Радио Београд, који је напунио осамдесет година рада (2009), и Музиколошки институт Српске академије наука и уметности, који је обележио шездесетогодишњи јубилеј (2008), покренули су заједнички пројекат „Пробуђени архив“. Две институције су тако удружиле професионалне снаге, знања својих сарадника и бригу за представљање и популарисање музике домаћих аутора. Фоно-архив Радио Београда свакако је највећа и најзначајнија звучна збирка у земљи и међу највећима у региону. То је национално добро првог реда, упркос чињеници да су многобројни студијски снимци страдали у периоду великих друштвених промена и транзиције, под притиском немара или злонамерних „позајмица“ трајног карактера. Упркос томе, у Архиву су још увек сачувани многобројни, јединствени снимци, пре свега дела домаћих аутора и домаћих извођача. Сматрамо зато да би њихово објављивање представљало значајан допринос афирмацији како музичког стваралаштва, тако и континуираног развоја извођаштва у Србији. Приликом избора дела која ће ући у серију „Пробуђени архив“ узимају се у обзир сва снимљена дела, а селекција се врши на основу нивоа извођења и квалитета снимака. Верујемо да ће нова звучна едиција и домаћој и иностраној јавности открити богатство звучног архива Радио Београда, а кроз њега и велики број дела српских композитора, која су нажалост мало позната не само изван Србије, већ и нашој домаћој публици и широј културној јавности. Београд, мај 2009. Уредница 3 AWAKENED ARCHIVES - New music edition Radio Belgrade, which celebrated its 80th anniversary last year (2009), and the Institute of Musicology, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2008, have started a new collaborative project ‘Awakened Archives’. The two institutions have joined their professional forces in order to preserve and popularise music by Serbian composers.

    THESIS ISLAM IN MODERN TURKEY (1938-82) flBSTRflCT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MLOSOPHY IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY AIJAZ AHMED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. SAYYIDAHSAN READER DEPARTMiNT OF ISLAMIC STTUDISS ALI6ARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 20Di STff^o % ABSTRACT In tenth century, the Turks of central Asia had converted to Islam and by the eleventh century they began to push their way into South-Eastern Russia and Persia. The Ottoman State emerged consequent to an Islamic movement under Ghazi Osman (1299-1326), founder of the dynasty, at Eskisehir, in North- Eastern Anatolia. Sufis, Ulema and Ghazis of Anatolia played an important role in this movement. For six centuries the Ottomans were almost constantly at war with Christian Europe and had succeeded in imposing the Islamic rule over a large part of Europe. The later Sultans could not maintain it strictly. With the expansion of the Ottoman dominions the rulers became more autocratic with the sole aim of conquering alien land. To achieve this the rulers granted freedom and cultural autonomy to his non-Muslim subjects and allowed the major religious groups to establish self governing communities under the leadership of their own religious chiefs. The recent work is spread over two parts containing eight chapters with a brief introduction and my own conclusions. Each part has four chapters. Part I, chapters I to IV, deals with the political mobilization of the Turkish peasants from the beginning of the modernization period and to the war of Independence as well as the initial stages of the transition to comparative politics.

  • Islam: State and Religion in Modern Europe by Patrick Franke
    Islam: State and Religion in Modern Europe by Patrick Franke From the early Middle Ages until the beginning of the twentieth century, Islamic states were an integral part of Europe's political geography. Throughout the modern period the Ottoman Empire, with its capital in Istanbul, was the most important Islamic power on the continent. The Ottoman conquest of south‐eastern Europe, which was already well advanced in the 15th century, initiated a phase of Islamization that came in several waves before ending in the 19th century. Other important centres of European Islam were the Iberian Peninsula (until the early 17th century), the Russian Volga‐Ural region, and the Crimea. The decline of the European Islamic states (Granada, the eastern European Khanates, the Ottoman Empire) put many Muslims under the rule of non‐Islamic states, each of which reacted with the development of its own particular policies for dealing with Islam. For the Muslim populations, this loss of power resulted in important processes of modernization. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Islamic Statehood in Europe between 1450 and 1950 2.

Notes Indices Citation Islamic Statehood in Europe between 1450 and 1950 In the mid‐15th century a number of small Islamic states existed on the edges of various parts of Europe (➔ Media Link #ab). The southern Iberian Peninsula1 was home to the Nasrid Emirate of Granada, which, however, was in decline in this period. In 1485 the Christian states of Castile and Aragon began their systematic conquest of the Emirate, at a time when the Muslims were exhausting their energies in a civil war.

Constantinople was purpose-built, a landmark not even the mightiest ‘barbar- ian’ warlord could hope to efface. With its numerous market places, massive walls and monuments such as the Golden Gate proclaiming a New Jerusalem and Christian triumph, the ‘God-protected city’ was a showcase for displays of wealth, social cohesion and military force. These material blessings were attributed by the palace ceremonies, art and orators to the piety of the emper- ors and their subjects – often termed simply ‘the Christians’ in the ceremonial acclamations – and to the empire’s central role in God’s plan for mankind. Constantinople itself was under the special protection of the Mother of God. In the medieval era Mary was venerated ever more dramatically in return for safeguarding her city,wonder-working icons such as the Hodegetria being paraded regularly through the streets in her honour. Even furthest-flung outsiders could make the connection between Byzan- tine prosperity, striking-power and religious devotions. From his Orkney van- tage point, Arnor the Earl’s Poet viewed God as ‘ready patron of the Greeks and Garð-folk’.1 These ‘Garð-folk’ – Rus – had collectively come under the care of the patriarch of Constantinople, when in or around 988 their ruler, Vladimir, received a Byzantine religious mission and was himself baptised.
