ABSTRACT: In this contribution we will focus on some issues which, from the anthropological perspective, throw light on the formation of the human population of Montenegro, from prehistory until the present day. Some of those issues are as follows: traces of human life with-in Montenegro in prehistory, identification of individual populations by their anthropological characteristics, as well as a review of the anthropological characteristics of present-day populations in Montenegro and their place on the anthropological map of Europe. Due attention will also be given to the emergence and development of the Dinaric anthropological type.

The Dinaric type has been described and scientifically categorized on the basis of the biophysical characteristics of the Montenegrin population at the end of the 19th century (J. Deniker). It is for this reason that Montenegrins are considered typical representatives of the Dinaric racial type, which is indeed in essence what they are. However, recent anthropological research has shown that Montenegrins possess certain anthropological characteristics which are not typical of the Dinaric racial type (large head, large wide face, hair color, skin color, weight and corpulence, for instance).

The aforementioned indicators have been used by some of the anthropologists who discovered them as a basis for isolating a number of local sub-types in the Montenegrin population and to connect their origins with the prehistoric characteristics of the historical Balkan and European population. This research and other anthropological indicators demonstrate that the Montenegrins occupy a special place on the anthropological map of Europe and the world.

ABSTRACT: In this paper the author has sought, on the basis of the source material, primarily the collection of documents published in Monumenta Montenegrina, to present Montenegrin-Bosnian relations during the Middle Ages up until the year 1500. A special place has been given in the paper to the Doclean Church, that is the Bar archbishopric, which was a significant factor in these ties and relations for a number of centuries. Besides the documents, the author used other sources, more precisely historical and cultural monuments in order to form a picture of Bosnian-Hercegovinian-Montenegrin ties and relations in the Middle Ages. In one first-class source – The Cetinje Chronicles – we even have mention of borders between the two states from the time of Ivan Crnojević. This paper also seeks to emphasize the significance of Montenegrins themselves in writing their own history.

ABSTRACT: The article summarizes the references to the plague in the documentation of the Kotor state and Episcopal archives. According to the specific references found in the Kotor archives, the plague ravaged Kotor in the years 1400, 1422, 1430, 1435, 1503 and 1572 and according to Venetian documents, 1433. These were probably not the only epidemics to break out in this region. Plague also surfaced in the late 40’s or 50’s of the XV century. We can likewise conclude with some certainty that the plague appeared in the XIV century, as supported by documents from other regions – Venetian documents register the plague as far back as 1363.

Based on the available documents, we will form an idea of the impact the plague had on the church and its priests. We will also note its role in the deepening of the agrarian crisis of the time. Each attack of the plague also had highly damaging consequences for the backbone of the Kotor economy – maritime trade. Further, we will portray the varying reactions of the population to the medical measures taken by the Venetian authorities which amounted to a losing battle with the disease. Finally we will describe the criminal activities which times of plague brought with them.

The plague was closely tied to military conflict. One of the conflicts which were followed by an outbreak of the plague was the War of Skadar (1419 – 1423). This epidemic is the best attested. Conversely, there is no mention of the mass-epidemic of the Black Death in 1438 which severely struck neighbouring Dubrovnik and most probably reached Kotor which had close cooperation with Dubrovnik.

Along with the article are supplied transcriptions of some of the documents we used in this article. This is hitherto unpublished material.

• Dušan J. MARTINOVIĆ, Božidar Vuković Podgoričanin između legende i istorije, 57-68  Download

ABSTRACT: Božidar Vuković Podgoričanin ploughed the deepest of furrows in the Cyrillic printing of the XVI century. His descendants and disciples have relied greatly on his books and literary legacy, whether in purely reprinting, or in newly publishing Cyrillic liturgical books whilst borrowing textual portions and the ornamentation and decoration and merely modifying them. It is notable that neither his disciples nor the others in Eastern Europe and elsewhere who reprinted him, or as we would say today, plagiarized him, were able to surpass him.

For the books of lasting value that he bequeathed us and for the far-reaching influence they had on the Slavonic and non-Slavonic art of Cyrillic printing, Božidar Vuković Podgoricanin and his printing and publishing work represent, together with the Crnojević typography of the XV century, the pride of Montenegrin culture, occupying as they do, the most visible and prominent place in the printing of Cyrillic books in the XVI century. In this they ably represent us in the Gutenberg constellation.

ABSTRACT: The educational institutions of an oriental-Islamic character in the region of Pljevlja, Berane and Bijelo Polje represent an integral part of oriental-Islamic education in general. This education has its own place in the cultural and education past of our peoples,nurturing the generations which were the bearers of Islamic culture, but within the bounds and against the cultural background of the environment from which they derive. The study of the Arabic, Persian and Turkish languages, despite the fact that this often amounted to mere transcription and mechanical memorization of complicated and incomprehensible texts,was a useful and necessary condition for later literary, translation and research work by a large number of individuals in the field of oriental-Islamic culture.

ABSTRACT: Among the subjects that would require exhaustive academic treatment in order to complete research into the ties between Petar the Second Njegoš and Italy, one of the most interesting, but also least investigated, is the acquaintance and development of the relation-ship between the Montenegrin bishop-ruler-poet and Nicola Tomaze. As a kind of introduction into a study which would, in unifying the relevant material devote itself to this subject in greater detail, this paper will provide a chronological account of the interpretations which have been offered to date of this, without a doubt, contradictory relationship between two great men whose word in the XIX century in the Slavonic South had significant reverberations.

ABSTRACT: The creation of a ruling cult always, ultimately, has the same aim: adoration, faith,loyalty. By using, or placing emphasis on certain issues and information, which need not always be true, an idealized image of the ruler is impressed on his subjects, all with the aim of promoting positive emotions in them towards him. At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century the state ideology, in glorifying and idealizing Prince Nikola, sought to prevent the slightest damage to his ruling cult. This was the consequence of the justified belief that the ruling cult of Prince Nikola was, to a great extent, the foundation on which the stability of the entire government system rested. Prince Nikola, as the personification of the ruling system as a whole, but also of “heroic” Montenegro, by the power of his reputation and his charisma as a national leader did indeed protect an anachronistic political system from all criticism and challenge. By skillful manipulation, every word of criticism against this system was presented as a word against Prince Nikola and by this token against the Montenegro with which the Prince had identified himself.

• Nada TOMOVIĆ, Ruska javnost prema proglašenju aneksije Bosne i Hercegovine, 113-132  Download

ABSTRACT: The Russian public condemned the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the strongest possible terms, demanding that the government take active measures to protect the national and political interests of the Serbian people. Distinguished university professors, writers and scholars gave lectures on the Serbian question across the length and breadth of Russia. Copious literature was written in Russia on the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, even while this was still in progress. The public condemned Russian diplomacy for acquiescing to Austro-Hungarian expansionism in the Balkans. The non-recognition of the annexation was seen as the most effective way of restoring Russia’s standing among the Slavonic peoples.

Russian public opinion, however persistent in its demands, was not able to alter the course of the government policy which remained consistent. This was to be expected as Russia was not a country of public opinion to the same extent as were England and France.

ABSTRACT: This text describes, comprehensively for the first time, the initial phases of the Montenegrin-Ottoman war of 1912, from the 8th to the 18th of October, in which Montenegro fought alone. Our intention has been to record the military events and endeavours of the governments in Belgrade, Sofia and Athens as regards their reaction to the note from the great powers urging them to abandon the war with the Ottoman Empire, and in doing so emphasize the significance of the military effort and risk with which Montenegro entered the First Balkan War. We will also examine her military achievements prior to the entry of the other members of the Balkan Treaty and the repercussions felt in the diplomatic circles and the public opinion of the great powers, who were calling for restraint, not war.

ABSTRACT: In this paper the author, in consultation with the relevant literature published to date, focuses on determining the significant factors which served as a basis for the beginnings of Montenegrin seafaring (1878-1914). Particular attention has been paid to the role of Prince Nikola in the formation of the Royal Montenegrin Maritime Administration under the directorship of the distinguished maritime captain Slavomir-Slava Djurković. Special emphasis has been placed on the significance of the first boats (steamships) which also sailed for the first time under the Montenegrin flag – The Silistria, The Jaroslava – and the individuals associated with their voyages, Duke Ilija Plamenac and Captain Andrija Djurković. As the article will show, the development of Montenegrin seafaring was of particular importance in the establishing of communications and the expansion of ties between Montenegro and European countries.

ABSTRACT: The following text is an exercise in mnemohistory. It is a story of the remembered,and a story of the imagination, but it is also a story of the process of memory construction. The empirical data in the text connected with the emigration of Montenegrins to America at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century and their employment in the mines there, as well as references to an American village by the name of Ugao Pavlovića (Pavlović Corner, Michigan), are taken from a variety of primary and secondary literature. The remainder of the text focuses on family anecdotes which illustrate the question of the causal relationship between reality and imagination, matters of social isolation and self-isolation among Montenegrin Americans and facets of the issue of variable and multilayered identity.
