Summary This monograph entails a comparative study of two early modern urban centers in Transylvania: Cluj Kolozsvár Klausenburg and Sibiu Nagyszeben Hermannstadt. It develops a new perspective on urban history in Transylvania by filling the recent historiographical lacuna on early modern urban elites. This book attempts to combine traditional and modern research methods by analyzing and comparing a large volume of unpublished data along three research lines. First the historical background within which of the town elites in Cluj and Sibiu monopolized power are analyzed including the development of town autonomy and governmental systems the legal background of urban leadership its continuity and the conditions under which the political urban elite acted in each town. Secondly a thorough archontological and prosopographical research with a special focus on marriage strategies and professional competence leads to a socio-political characterization of the elites of Cluj and Sibiu. Finally an attempt is made to provide insight into the representation and self-fashioning of these elites. TABLE OF CONTENTS The manuscript has three main chapters an introductory chapter conclusions bibliography and index of names. The introductory chapter starts with the definitions of terms used in the text along with a short review of the elite theories with references to Max Weber Norbert Elias Gaetano Mosca or Vilfredo Pareto. This part is followed by the presentation of the aims and of the methodology pursued during the research. The presentation of the sources was split into two categories: unpublished primary sources and edited documents. Subsequently the historiographical traditions on the topic - both in Hungary/Romania and international - are discussed. The first main chapter is titled 'Respublica - res publica' and it is structured on three subchapters and thirteen sub-sub chapters. The first section 1.1. is dedicated to the legal and institutional framework within which the urban elites of Cluj and Sibiu operated. The main objective of this section is to acquaint the readers with the beginnings of urban government and autonomy in the two towns in order to discuss the whole process of elite formation from the medieval period until the early modern. I have tried here to cutback some erroneously interpreted historical facts that has been reproduced time and again in scholarly works without any constructive criticism. A second section explores the structures of the town governments in the sixteenth century 1.2. the history of the main urban offices and their legal context. A third section ends this chapter by having a closer look on the forces that might have interfered with the process of elite formation or disturbed it. Following Karen Lambrecht's theory elite formation is studied in relation to the court the Church the Reformation movements university and multi-ethnicity. This part gives a deeper insight on the political religious and ethnic realities of the region in the sixteenth century. The second main chapter 'Magistri rei publicae' focuses on the archontological and propographical research on the urban elites. First the legal moral and material criteria of eligibility in public offices are discussed. Presenting several case studies the second part makes a statistical and analytical presentation of the career building and power concentration in a comparative way. The following two subchapters investigate the 'cursus honorum' the advancement of public office-holders within the ranks of the town council and the networking strategies of the local elites 2.4. This section leads to some intriguing aspects of power concentration within the local elites family-networks and business relations are revealed. This main chapter concludes in an analytical subchapter dealing with the question whether the governing elites in Cluj and Sibiu can be categorized as a patrician communities or not 2.5. The third part of this book 'Shaping self- and communal identity' is dedicated to the self-fashioning and by that to the communal individuation through the representation of the elites. Two main aspects are discussed here: the rituals and the ceremonies of the council election constituted by a strong interaction between town and elites and the erudite self-representation of the leaders through art and architecture. The book is provided with a concluding chapter a vast bibliography and an index of names. Brepols 2019 hardcover

Summary Drawing on diverse literary traditions the author of the fourteenth-century Meditationes Vitae Christi transformed the Gospel accounts into an emotionally charged and vivid narrative that became one of the most popular texts of the late Middle Ages. Over the past few years new theories about the authorship date and original language of the text have emerged raising new questions about this text and its impact on late medieval art and spirituality. The essays in this interdisciplinary volume examine multiple aspects of the Meditationes history from its possible authorship to its manuscript traditions to its reflections in art.

2018réf. S6596Edited by Flora Karayannes and George Fousteris. Bilingual Greek - English edition; text in parallel columns. Hard cover dust jacket 28x32 cm 256 pp. ill.; net weight 2450 gr. ISBN: 978-960-8062-32-0. The catalogue of the great exhibition organized by the Patriarchal Institute of Patristic Studies at Thessalonica to celebrate its 50 years is now available. The exhibition under the title TO HMETEPON KAΛΛΟΣ = OUR SACRED BEAUTY - Byzantine Icons of Thessalonica presented a selection of Byzantine icons carefully selected from monasteries and museums focusing to the artistic production of the city of Thessalonica and the contribution of the Vlatadon Monastery to the preservation of such artifacts. The impressive huge volume contains excellent reproductions of the icons in full colour accompanied by detailed artistic analysis of each one and other general articles on Byzantine art and history. Among the presented icons is included a special one of the type of Panaghia Hagiosoreitissa =Virgin of Mount Athos according to the tradition a work of the Apostle Lucas actually a 14th-century work painted in Thessalonica today in the Freising Museum Germany. Another unique item is a mosaic icon of Saint Demetrius of the 12th century bought by an Italian clergyman and today belonging to the Italian municipality of Sassoferrato near Ancona. Its originality lies in the fact that besides being a mosaic icon it also has a built-in flask dated to the 13th or 14th century at the top of its frame. Such flasks containing myrrh were used by the pilgrims when they visited the tomb of Saint Demetrius at Thessalonica. "It is absolutely clear that the image is coming from here" emphasizes the curator of the Patristic Studies Foundation.
