    The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade

    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades.

Słowa kluczowe: Kazimierz Wielki, Kraków, mieszczaństwo. Key Words: Kazimierz Wielki (Casimir the Great), Krakow, burghers.

ISBN 978-3-7868-1508-2 This monograph represents the first comprehensive treatment of the Bul- wark of Christendom rhetorical device used so extensively during the Middle Ages and Early Modern times in order to face down the ‘other’ for the sake of your own raison d’être. So far, this phenomenon has been known largely from its individual incarnations from country to country, while its transnational ghost was hovering in the air waiting for someone to pin it down. Paul Srodecki has done this. Starting as a doctoral thesis, it grew to become a detailed and thoroughly documented study that offers a panoramic view of East Central Europe through the lens of the Bulwark ideology. The phenomenon spread across Europe, but it was especially prominent in countries of Medieval and Early Modern Christendom that bordered on other cultural areas, either Muslim or Greek Orthodox lands (pp. 14–15). Along with the Iberian Peninsula, Austria, Venice and Croatia, three other Catholic polities stand out: the Teutonic Ordensstaat in Prussia and Livonia, Poland, and Hungary, and they have won the most attention from the author. A special point of interest is presented by the Romanian principalities of Walachia and Moldavia that from the 14th century onwards found themselves placed precariously between their Catholic neighbours (Hungary and Poland) and the Ottomans.
