ABSTRACT: In his narrative works regarding the life in Kuči and the other tribes, Marko Miljanov had described various subjects. He had made sketches of strong characters, through which he had showed the conflicts between freedom and slavery, patriotism and betrayal, philanthropy and servitude, sacrifice for faith and conversion, which all re mind us to the circumstances that our people face at the end of the century.

Some of manuscripts written by voivoda, as he was nicknamed, were discovered very late (in 1971). They are of autobiographic content, containing memories of the author’s conversation with his friends and describing his relations with the leaders of Montenegro, as well as their wishes. Text under the title Letter to Peko Pavlović is dedicated to Marko’s friendship and conversations with Peko Pavlović and Jole Piletić. One other text written by voivoda contains a very sharp critique of the anonymous Serb (“Odobriković” and “Čestitković”, Yesmen and Laudators as the satirical expressions) who had congratulated the prince Danilo “victory in Kuče” (1856). The same kind of text is the letter written to the prince Nikola, in which Marko had relieved the ruler’s bad will expressed against him. In those texts, the writer had expressed his views regarding the traditional intention of the Serbian people to gain freedom and unity, as well as the obstacles put to that aim by the opposed dynasties and foreign interests.

ABSTRACT: The Serbs in Croatia, Slavonia, Dalmatia and Dubrovnik had given a great contribution to the defense of the Hapsburg Monarchy by its external and internal enemies. The immense contribution was given by the Serbs-generals-noblemen in Military Graenze (Vojna Krajina), which existed from 1522 until 1881. For that reason they were rewarded with the nobility and family coat of arms. A great part of those Serbs, generals, noblemen had been from the traditionally military families and were educated in the spirit of obeisance and loyalty to the State and order. Thus, the great number of persons rewarded with the nobility and family coats, because of their military merits, does not come as a surprise. Apart from the others, there should be mentioned those noble families from which had originated the following generals-noble men: Ljubobratić, Hranilović, Knežević, Gvozdenović, Mikašinović, Budisavljević, Šupljikavac, Borojević, Duka, Mamula and others. The most famous heraldic symbols in the Serbian general family coats are different sort of arms (grenade, lance, saber, arrow, sword, small flag), as well as other symbols (warrior, leopard, pelican, raven, eagle-lion, eagle, moon, etc). The majority of those symbols exists in the noblemen family coats in Austria and Hungary, meaning that the Austrian and Hungarian heraldry had influenced the heraldry in Croatia, Dalmatia, Slavonia, Dubrovnik, and especially in the Military Graenze.

ABSTRACT: The St. Paul Church is placed in the eastern part of Kotor, at foothill of the cliffs of St. Ivan, above ancient Main Street, that led from the southern to the northern gate of the town.

The church was founded in 1263 by Pavle Bare and his wife Do bra. The inscription placed above the portal on the western facade testifies about the founders. Pavle and Dobra had given the church as a present to the Dominicans, and the present was confirmed by the charter issued on 8th April 1266 by Marko, the Bishop of Kotor, who was Dobra’s brother and whose name is mentioned in the inscription. The Dominicans had used the church until 1344, when they had moved to the new monastery with the church dedicated to St. Nicholas at Tabačina. By the end of the XV century, the daughters of the noblemen from Kotor, living according to the rules of the Dominican brotherhood had resided in the church. The church of St. Paul was given in 1520 to the Dominicans of the III grade, led by the blessed Ozana, Patron Saint of Kotor.

From the architectural point of view, the church of St. Paul built in 1236, falls in the same category as other churches in Kotor dated from the XII and XIII century. It has one nave and three bays, oriented with the longer side in the direction East-West. It had been built with the well-polished stony blocks, and covered with the two-sided roof. In the XVI century the church had been widened and altered; the southern and northern church wall dated from the XIII century had been tear down, and the western and eastern wall had been incorporated in the southern bay of the church dated from XVI century, which is, because of the ground configuration, orientated by the longer axis to the direction North-South.

In front of the western facade there is an arcosolium with the sarcophagus in which Pavle Bare and Dobra had been buried. In the arcosolium are also kept the remnants of the wall paintings. There is image of Deesis in lunette, out of which Mother of Christ and Christ’s hand had been preserved, and on the soffit of the arc on the northern part St. Paul’s figure is situated. Its pendant on the southern side was the figure of St. Peter, out of which only the upper parts of the himation and foot have been preserved.

The frescoes in the arcosolium of the St. Paul Church could be characterized as Romano-Gothic. No one single datum about the painter of the St. Paul has been found so far, as well as the inscriptions of the frescoes. We assume that the painter had been of We stern origin.

Deesis in the St. Paul Church should be explained as a part of well-imagined funerary program, i.e. eschatological idea, expressed through the thinking of the Second Arrival, the Doomsday and the Destiny of Soul in the life after death. Mother of Jesus, as the Mediatrix between the Manhood and Divinity should provide gentleness of the Christ on the Doomsday. Founders Pavle and Dobra had thereby proclaimed their faith in their future Salvation and Resurrection in Christ.

The place, on which the church had been built, right behind the eastern part of the cathedral in which the relics of St. Tripun, the protector of the town had been kept, is, quite probably, linked to the Christian idea of ad sanctos funeral.

ABSTRACT: The Mosque of Husein-Pasha, the Sanjac-beyi of Hercegovina, is the most important and beautiful monument of Islamic art in Montenegro. It was built, ac cor ding to some documents, descriptions given by Evlia Chelebi and west-European travelers, and most hypotheses, between 1569 and 1573. This mosque is fa mo us for its interesting architectural characteristics, especially for two preserved decorative cupolas over the wall with mihrab, and the minaret, erected by the right wall, 42m high. The mihrab, minbar and stone mahvil are covered with decorative stone plastic. These inside decorations are mainly consisted of carved or painted geometric and floral motifs. Although there is no confident evidence who was the main builder of the mosque in Pqevqa, there are some confirmed suppositions that Hayrudin, the famous builder of the old bridge in Mostar, who was at the time engaged to build the fortress in Makarska, was also engaged to design the mosque of Husein-Pasha.

Above all, the mosque of Pqevqa has fulfilled its original function and founders aims to enrich and develop the town of Pqevqa and make it prepared to become one of the most important town on our territory in the 16th century. Looking like an “imperial mosque”, as Evlia Chelebi had put it, and lasting all this time, Husein-Pasha’s “homeland memorial mosque” represents by its rare oriental beauty the unique sacral building in Montenegro.

ABSTRACT: The business association The Tradesman represents one of the most important Serbian institutions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From its founding in 1897 to the end of World War I this society played a key role in ensuring the greater independence, development and progress of the Serbian economy. The Tradesman was created as an institution that would provide gifted and able children from the lower classes with an elementary education and training in some craft or in trade, hoping in doing so to form the conditions for development of the strong Serbian urban society, that would be able, economically and intellectually to give a response to the request of the time and to provide to the Serbian nation survival and progress in the surrounding full of animosity against the Serbs.

This paper analyses the cooperation of The Tradesman with the Association for Improvement of Crafts and Trade from Cetinje regarding the recommendations of children from Montenegro. This Association founded in 1903 had had full support of church and people in Montenegro. It was created on the same model as The Tradesman and used its working experience. Although those two associations had shared the same interests, the misunderstandings and conflicts between the Association and the board of The Tradesman had existed, creating years-long break of cooperation that had caused the damage to both institutions and to the Serbs in general.

Enclosed to the article is a part of the preserved list of children accepted by The Tradesman through the Association for Improvement of Crafts and Trade.

ABSTRACT: The work of the vocational schools in Berane in the period between the two world wars has not been treated in historiography so far. The documents from the archives contains the information, on the basis of which we are able to conclude that several vocational schools had been active during that period of ti me.

In the period from 1919-1930. vocational-business evening school had been active. In that school, beside Serbian language, calculation and geography, the students of vocational and business skills had been taught other vocational subjects as well. Very few students had attended that school, and the professors were engaged on the basis of the part-ti me work.

From 1923-1927. women vocational school, which was in fact school for training of housewives, was organized by the local women association. This school did not give any important results in vocational education of young girls.

In the period from 1931-1940 there was a weavers school in Berane, too. It was vocational school for boys, attended by very few pupils.

Mentioned vocational school had adequate premises, finances and teachers, provided by the Ministry of industry and trade. Regardless small number of pupils, the state had regularly provided money for vocational schools, because education of pupils in crafts and trade had been considered very important.

In the spring of 1920 it had been decided to open vocational business evening school in Andrijevica, but it was not possible to accomplish that goal, because of small number of pupils. In the autumn of 1922, that idea had been given up.

ABSTRACT: After ten years of statehood life of Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenians(Yugoslavia), king Aleksandar Karađorđević had suspended, in 1929, all modalities of the parliamentary democracy, on which the common state was based. Whole social and legal order of the country was adapted to the spreading and fastening of the ideological program of Yugoslavism, with the purpose of stabilization of the young state. Principle of the state and national unity was the civil priority. The essence was to transfer, by that principle, the nation-ally heterogeneous state creation, which had showed very high level of differences in the internal life, to the unique national-Yugoslav model. The purpose of formation of the administrative-territorial regions called banovine (sg. banovina) was, with their administrative structure, to accelerate that process and to give it their contribution.

The banovina of Zeta, as one of the nine administrative-territorial unites, itself composed of the different regions, with its undeveloped social and economic structure, could not contribute, in larger extent, to the policy of the Yugoslavism; that is one of the reasons of the limited range of the program proclaimed on 6thJanuary.

ARHEOLOGIJA

  • Đurđica PETROVIĆ, Stevo VUČINIĆ, Zbrika srednjovjekovnih mačeva pronađenih u rijeci Zeti – Hronološka i tipološka analiza, 255-294  Download

ABSTRACT: During 15 years of amateur diving, Stevo Vučinić from Podgorica has found in the river of Zeta, nearby Podgorica, capital of Montenegro, 14 examples of the medieval arms that deserved to be professionally analyzed. The collection consists of 10 swords, two sword blades, one lower part of fetters of the sword scabbards and one dagger. Except of blade of the sword spada from the time of Great Migration, end of V and VI century, six swords has been dated from the period between XII and XI II century (Catalogue no. 2, 4-8), five swords from the XIV century (no. 9-13), fetters of the sword scabbards from the XI century, and dagger from the period between years 1400-1500. The date has been determined on the basis of analysis of the blades and handles, i.e. neck and apple, as well as on the basis of inscriptions and motifs on the blades, comparing them with the analogue exhibits from the European and American museums and private collections.

On the basis of such analysis, it has been found that larger part of the collection, and especially the swords from the XII and XIII century, as well as the dagger present the unique examples regarding the medieval collections of the swords kept in the museums in the territory of ex-Yugoslavia. Some objects from this collection deserve special attention. Blade of the sword spada, by its typological characteristics, falls in the category of rare examples of such arms; it represents the example found in the most southern part of the Western Central Balkans so far. Sword no. 2 with damascened name of the Frank blacksmith of blades Inglerii from the X century on the blade, represents the eighth example in Europe with that name written in correct form, and in the meaning of quality of the blade. This sword also represents the example found in the most southern part, having in mind the name of the craftsman. Apple of the handle of the sword no. 9 (cca. 1350) is also very interesting, and represents the missing link in development of the apples of so called spada schiavonescha. The sword no. 10 (XIV century) with the image of running wolf on the blade, represents also the example found in the most southern part of Europe. It was made by blade blacksmiths from the Upper Hungary. The dagger from this collection is the only example of such type found so far in the western part of the Central Balkan.

On the other hand, this collection of medieval swords and daggers is very valuable testimony of the arms used in the areas of today’s Montenegro from the end of the V until the XV century, although many questions have remained unanswered. Such questions are: how is it possible that those arms had ended in the Zeta river; who had provided them, who had owned them. At the same time, this collection is very valuable to supplement the knowledge about the sword and dagger types that had been used in the Balkans during the Middle Ages.
