Abstract: The author is reviewing early Christian monuments on the territory of Kotor bishopric. The territory of the Kotorska Diocese today occupies the belt of the Montenegrin coastline, separated from the hinterland by the mountain line of the Dinaric line, stretching from the slope of Debeli brijeg in the north to the river of the Railroad in Barsko polje. Earlier there was a much smaller area, since there were still dioceses in Risna (or Rose) and Budva. However, although the earliest bishop in Risan (or Rose) was recorded at the end of the 6th century, the administration of the Risan diocese was entrusted to the bishop of Kotor from 1540, while the Budva diocese with the earliest recorded bishop Silvester from the middle of the 12th century was subjected at first to Archbishop of Bar, but after the Turkish conquest of Bara in 1571, it was administered by Archbishop of Bara or Bishop of Skadar (as an apostolic vicar), and since 1830 it was included in the Kotor diocese. In this aforementioned territory several research in and around the sacral buildings were done after the catastrophic Montenegrin earthquake in 1979. Numerous objects belonging to the early Christian phase from the beginning of 6th century were discovered, while several objects from the preRomanic period from 9th to 11th century were previously known.

Abstract: With the purpose of a fuller appreciation of sacral architecture in the southern part of the eastern Adriatic coast, around twenty churches with a single nave and dome in the middle are analyzed from multiple angles. They all originate between the 9th and thee 13th centuries and are called the “Southern Dalmatian Type” or “Zahumlje-Zeta Group”, although it is around Dubrovnik that they are present in the greatest concentration. This paper seeks to illuminate their genesis and to oppose the efforts that link them to the Byzantine political dominance over the coastal towns between the Neretva and Bojana rivers. Particular attention is drawn to the common macro regional culture that demonstrates internal evolution independent of external influences. Simultaneously, the phenomenon of the dome presents a ground for a reflection upon the components of the gradual changes in the local morphology of style through the symbiosis of the aesthetics of the Western Pre-or Proto-Romanesque style and the grammar of provincial architecture of the Middle Byzantine era.

ABSTRACT: Ciborium from the Cathedral of Kotor was dated in 1362, based on data from Daniele Farlati in nineteenth century, transcribing an ancient, today non-existent document. From nineteenth century until today, the only major research was done by Jovanka Maksimović. She was guided by Farlanti’s text and stylistic analysis of stone sculptures and concluded that 1362 is the year of the creation of the ciborium. Considering that Farlanti in his text did not mention the word ‘ciborium’ but only altar, which was consecrated 1362., and making comparisons with carved stone from Puglia and Dalmatia from thirteenth century, I came to the conclusion that the creation Kotor ciborium may be placed in the second half of the thirteenth century.

ABSTRACT: This paper is based on the Benedictine arrival to the east Adriatic coast and establishing the monasteries in the south from Dubrovnik. Since the monks who arrived from the southern Italy played the key role in spreading the Benedictine order, initially there were the abbots of Italian origin at the head of abbeys founded in the areas between Kotor and Lježa, but there is almost no remaining evidence regarding that. It is certain that in the late 14th and early 15th century Saint George’s Abbey near Perasto was governed by three Italian abbots – William de Alareno, Anthony from Bitonto and Augustin from Ascoli. Almost simultaneously Saint Mary of Ratac’s Abbey was also ruled by the Italian abbots Giovanni from the famous abbey Sancta Maria de Rambona near the Italian town Macerata and Butius from Saint Nicolas’ on the Tremiti Islands. The paper also tells about the lay abbots from the second half of the 15th century and from the 16th century.

ABSTRACT: The paper deals with the position, intentions and perspectives of Austrian-Hungarian Empire at the end of XIX and the beginning of XX century. In order to maintain its status of the Great Power, it sought the area for expansion in the Balkan, as the only direction possible. On the other side, the growing power of the newly formed Balkan states, predominantly Serbia, presented an obstacle to its pretensions on Thessalonica, which was tried to overcome by creation of independent Albanian state under decisive influence of Vienna, as well as through backing the Bulgarian side in Second Balkan war. Failure of this plan led to further escalation of the conflict with Serbia, with clear perspective of the military clash.

ABSTRACT: The second half of the 19th century is the most prolific period in the social development of Montenegro as an autonomous and independent state, particularly in terms of its social, political, educational and cultural development. Until the second half of the 19^th century, Montenegrin students were educated outside the borders of their homeland, primarily in the neighboring Serbia, distant Russia and other European countries of the time – Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, France, Italy, etc. The analysis of the social background of 692 pupils/students of secondary and higher schools and academies-faculties in the period from 1848-1918 indicates that among them, there were sons of farmers, landowners, workers, merchants, innkeepers, artisans, officers, clan elders, clan captains, clan commanders, dukes, sirdars, brigadiers, seamen, clerks, judges, doctors, lawyers, priests, teachers and pensioners.

ABSTRACT: The central theme of this article is the analysis of the archival series of the State Archive of Venice (Archivio di Stato di Venezia) called Capi del Consiglio de’ Dieci: Lettere di Rettori e di altre cariche. The documents used are those related to the cities of Budva, Bar and Ulcinj (in the sixteenth century), which – through the reports of city officials to the Venetian central authorities – speak of the life of these cities and their population in a period marked by the danger of war and a direct threat from the Ottoman army. In the article, particular attention is paid to the analysis of those documents speaking directly about the organization of the network of agents and spies in the hinter land of the aforementioned cities, as well as the diplomatic and political attempts of Venetian officials to attract the population of the immediately neighbouring areas to fight under the standard of St. Mark. These sources are at the same time valuable source material for the study of numerous various elements from the history of Venetian acquisitions in the southern part of the eastern Adriatic at the very beginning of the Early Modern  Age.

ABSTRACT: No government could be maintained on a bare force, so its ideological justification, i.e. legitimization, is carried out under the auspices of religion and tradition, mainly through the sacralization of power. The basic feature of the entire ancient propaganda is the monolithic and imposing state propaganda whose thematic backbone is the divinization of the state and rulers. The emergence of the very term propaganda, and its institutional development is related to the Roman Catholic Church.

ABSTRACT: While the 33rd chapter of the De administrando imperio contains the description of the early medieval county of Zahumlje, there are many unclear places inside. According to our opinion they mostly originate from the praxis of Constantin VII Porphyrogenitus to make conclusions based on his logical judgment and, mostly, dubious etymological constructions obtained through his informers and own observations. Considering that the name Zahumlje has been disappearing with time, having been replaced by the formulation Humska zemlja (Hum’s land), the author points out the difference between these geographical categories, carried out their ubication and suggested the reasons for their change.

• Goran BEHMEN, Ideološki aspekti arengi, zaketvi i sankcija u srednjovjekovnim bosanskim ispravama, 167-175  Download

ABSTRACT: Arengas, oaths and sanctions in medieval documents present not only formal parts of documents, they also, through its theological intonation, reflect Christian ideological concept of European medieval society. Arengas, which appear in documents of Bosnian Middle Ages since the time of coronation of Tvrtko I Kotromanic, testify about the acceptance of sovereign – potentate, whose authority comes from the Christ himself and who is given the legitimacy only by the divine authority. Arengas of the Bosnian kings were written under the strong influence of Raska charters and, as in the case of Tvrtko I Kotromanic, correspond to authority being elicited from the family ties with Nemanjic family. The oaths in the documents, both by the governing dynasty of Kotromanic, and by other major noblemen families (Kosaca, Pavlovic, Hrvatinic) mention Holly Gospel, Honourable Cross of Christ, evangelists and apostles, while sanctions contain poena spiritualis with the threat of curse in the spirit of Christian theological concept.
