Abstract: The paper deals with the iconography and meaning of the motif of three fish with one head, depicted on a small fragment of the floor mosaic (9 dm2 ) of an ancient villa, and found in 1902, in the olive yard of Marko Gregović in Petrovac at Sea (fig. 1). The paper concludes that the presence of this particular motif at the Montenegro Coast represents the continuation of a long-lasting iconographic tradition. The author concludes that in the case of Petrovac this motif has a Christian meaning, representing a symbolic image of the Holy Trinity – the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost and that the head represents the Creator, or the universal Cosmic knowledge on the way of the Creator. Considering the meaning of the motif of three fish with one head, the author expresses the opinion that the building in which the motif was present once served to the Christian cult, that its owner was a Christian and that the mosaic was done in the second half of the 4th century.

• Branko BANOVIĆ, Analiza narativne komponente modela tradicionalnog crnogorskog maskuliniteta, 53-66  DOWNLOAD

ABSTRACT: Socio-constructivist theoretical premises dominant in the studying of masculinity claim that men are not born but made. In addition to the economic context, a significant role in the “making” of the model of traditional Montenegrin masculinity was played by the overall geopolitical position of Montenegro in history. Namely, the historical, ethnologic and fictional narrative about Montenegro‘s past suggest a constant state of siege throughout the period of Ottoman rule over Montenegro. Since wars necessarily have great influence on the structure of gender relations and the creation of masculinity, given that the popular and popular science narrative about Montenegro‘s past is one of permanent war against the Ottoman Empire, we can say that the given narrative had a great impact on the structure of traditional Montenegrin gender roles and particularly on the production of the model of traditional Montenegrin masculinity, in part responsible for the creation of an extremely masculine, patriarchal culture. In this paper, I analyse three examples (Montenegrin legends of untouched independence, legends regarding Carev Laz and the inquest of Islamic converts) to demonstrate the extent to which historical truth, historical and ethnologic narratives, and fictional narratives are interlaced and inseparable regarding the narrative context in which men gained awareness of the corresponding („normal”) male gender role in traditional Montenegro.

ABSTRACT: At the time of the French rule in the Bay of Kotor (1807- 1814), records were kept on the foreigners residing on its territory.

On the basis of the list of foreigners from 1811, we find out that there were twenty-eight of them together with their family members residing in the Herceg Novi municipality. The majority came from Trebinje, and then from the east Adriatic coast. They arrived at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century.

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.

Some deviations were present to a less or greater extent, and reflected direct and indirect influences of Slavic and Byzantine law that were coming from the Balkan Peninsula’s inland to coastal centres.
