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 introductory part of this paper is devoted to general historical, social and cultural conditions of the time of establishing of the Roman city of Doclea ( near Podgorica) as well as guidelines for its further study. In the second part, the article deals with Medaur, an Illyrian deity – protector of the ancient Risinium (present-day Risan in Montenegro), known only on the basis of inscription found in a military camp in Lambesis. By analyzing the content of the inscription, this text strives to arrive at the origins of this deity and its iconography. Based on comparative examples, of geographic origins ranging from the region of Thrace to the present-day Tunisia and Algeria, it can be concluded that this was an equestrian figure deity, with conceptual and visual roots dating from the time of Pyrrhus, with particular attention drawn to the fact that his kingdom was in close political and cultural relationship with the Illyrian states in the south-eastern area of Adriatic Sea.

ABSTRACT: Napoleon’s France could treat Montenegrins as either opponents or potential allies, but in both cases, it needed to get to know them well. Colonel Somier under-took the adventure of collecting the necessary information in the field during his research visit to Montenegro. The most significant information he collected was about the population number, especially those at the disposal of the army, about the economic resources of the country and the political and administrative situation. Considering the ever-open possibility of invading Montenegro, it was important to know the communication system within the country and to own topographic material on it. The information which was then gathered and later printed in the travel memoirs Historical and Political Travel to Montenegro represent an important historical source, especially since they were collected at a time when Montenegro had a modest state administration and consequently a modest output of documents i.e. historical sources. Viala’s work as a historical source needs to be approached critically like all narrative testimonies.

The English and the Austrian attacked Illyrian provinces in 1814, the former at sea and the latter on land. The Austro-British conquest of Illyrian provinces was completed in April 1814. The example of the Illyrian provinces proves Napoleon’s intention to rule European territory. A subtle military strategist he was, Napoleon saw the European stage as a battlefield in which audacity could mitigate or disable opponent’s action. Such notion of Europe suffered defeat and marked the beginning of the “agreement of nations” in Europe several months before the Congress of Berlin.

ABSTRACT: In her work, the author deals with cultural circumstances in Boka Kotorska at the time of Illyrian provinces. The biggest cultural achievement of this period was the opening of the Theater in Kotor. There was hardly any planned cultural policy at the time of Illyrian provinces. The little investment in culture was primarily done for propaganda purposes. French administration in Boka Kotorska led to a cultural breakdown, destruction of navy, collapse of the old social structure, civil and religious emancipation and to the devastation of cultural heritage.
