Georgia’s location at the crossroads of East and West determined the character of its culture, expressed in architecture and the visual arts, among other spheres. Along with centuries-old original and uninterrupted local traditions, Georgia maintained a close relationship with the surrounding world and cultural circles throughout the Middle Ages. Particularly significant were aspirations of closeness to Byzantium and an active involvement in the Christian Orthodox commonwealth, based on common interests and confessional unity. All this is evident in the architecture and various artistic expressions of medieval Georgia, which are marked by a combination of original forms inspired by the Byzantine themes and elements.

This collective article is dedicated to the images of power in the ancient and medieval societies, their forming, functions and the ways of representation. Authors found the universal components of the images of power in the different pre-industrial societies of the East and Vest, such as procedures of obtaining power, coronation and anointment, ruler’s regalia and the forms of organizing space of power. The authors investigate the relationship between the secular and the sacred elements in the political mythology of power. This paper deals with the evolution of images of power, rituals and symbols of authority from Ancient Eastern to Medieval societies. The purpose of the article is to present the universal components of the images of power in Ancient and Medieval times. The identification of common and specific features in the representation of power and ritual practices will allow us to see the evolution of ideas about power in pre-industrial societies.

Este texto é parte da pesquisa desenvolvida e defendida junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Geografia pela Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná. A pesquisa teve o seguinte título: “A unidade de perspectivas entre a geografia e a cartografia medievais: paralelos com as artes visuais”. Contudo, no capítulo I, buscou-se conhecer e compreender a Geografia (e a Cartografia) produzida na Antiguidade Clássica. Desse modo, na integralidade da pesquisa foi possível compreender alguns traços do pensamento geográfico e do cartográfico greco-romano, e comparar as variações conceituais e metodológicas em relação ao conhecimento geográfico e cartográfico produzidos na Idade Média. Sobre a Antiguidade Clássica, evidentemente, os pensadores gregos e romanos não foram os únicos, nem os primeiros, a produzir um conhecimento geográfico (e cartográfico), mas certamente, foram eles os primeiros a melhor sistematizar tais conhecimentos.AbstractThis text is part of the research developed and defended at the Graduate Program Stricto Sensu in Geography from the State University of Western Paraná. The research had the following title: "The unity of outlook between geography and medieval cartography: parallel with the visual arts." However, in Chapter I , I tried to know and understand the geography ( and Cartography ) produced in Classical Antiquity . Thus, in the whole of the research was possible to understand some aspects of geographical thought and the Greco-Roman cartographic, and compare the conceptual and methodological changes in relation to geographic and cartographic knowledge produced in the Middle Ages. On Classical Antiquity, of course, the Greek and Roman thinkers were not the only, nor the first, producing a geographical knowledge (and mapping), but certainly they were the first ones to better systematize such knowledge.

The analysis of historical, culturally motivated ideas about the German knight, which are objectified in the language not only in conventional, unified standards, but primarily in socio-ethnocultural assessments and stereotypes, is presented. The material of the study was German knightly novels: “Tristan” (“Tristan”) by Gottfried of Strasbourg, “Poor Heinrich” (“Der arme Heinrich”) by Hartmann von Aue, “Eneasroman” by Heinrich von Veldeke. Particular attention is paid to the study of indicators of the national specificity of the image of the German knight. It is proved in the work that the actualization of lexical units that serve to represent the image of a knight is largely specific and due to the genre specificity of Western European literature texts of the Middle Ages. It is stated that the knowledge of medieval German culture bearers about the surrounding reality, objectified by the semantics and pragmatics of linguistic and speech units, structures, compositions, united as a whole by the characteristics of the surrounding world are accumulated in the artistic picture of the world in the Middle Ages. It is concluded that the image of a knight embodies the complex of worldview coordinates and values of the knightly estate, which are recorded in a verbal (artistic) text in the form of a specially organized system of knowledge and ideas about the world.

This chapter provides the obituary for Jerzy Wyrozumski, who died in Kraków in early November 2018 at the age of 88. It talks about Wyrozumski as a professor of history at the Jagiellonian University and an outstanding scholar of the Middle Ages for many years. He was born in Trembowla in East Galicia and was resettled with his family in Kozle in Silesia, which was incorporated into Poland after the Second World War. Wyrozumski's particular interest was the economic and social history of Poland during the Middle Ages, the functioning of the medieval political system, and medieval religious movements in Europe. The chapter mentions Wyrozumski's active involvement in the organization of the Conference on Jewish Autonomy in Poland that was held at the Jagiellonian University in September 1986.

ABSTRACTDespite the lack of notated evidence, something can be recovered of the lost song of medieval epic, a foundational musical tradition in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Like the chant of the Christian Church, epic has come down to us in a distinctively Carolingian framing. Given the close relationship between liturgical recitation and epic song throughout late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, as well as Charlemagne's own active role in the codification of both Frankish epic and Roman chant, it is possible, as I suggest in conclusion, that these two repertoires resembled each other in significant ways.

The Maltese islands, Malta, the ancient Melite, Gozo, the ancient Gaulus, and three lesser islets, lie in the centre of the Mediterranean in a significant position. They command the highway of sea-borne traffic between east and west, and they form a link between north and south, between Sicily and Tunis. They are small, indeed; their whole area is about four-fifths that of the Isle of Wight, but they are in their own fashion very fertile, their seas are rich in fish, and their coasts have many harbours. Naturally they have long been inhabited; they have a real and, for certain centuries, a stirring history. Their closest geographical kinship is with Sicily, which is less than sixty miles north of Gozo, and can easily be seen in clear weather from the higher parts of the islands. Hence, perhaps, it was that during seven centuries of the Roman period, just as during five centuries of the middle ages, they were connected especially with Sicily; but their relations with the more distant African coast and with the eastern and western waters of the Mediterranean are too strong to allow them to be called purely Sicilian or even purely European, and they have often owned other allegiance.

The object of the proposed cycle of essays is that with a maximal compactness of presentment it presents a cumulative overview of the chief phenomena of world artistic culture, spanned in whole, both from the perspective of an overall historical process and in relation to the various arts (literature, the visual arts, architecture, music, theater and cinema). At the same time, it avoids the customary rubrication according to national schools and division into separate arts forms with the specifi cation of genre inherent to each one of them, which is in accord with the positive tendencies of globalization and provides an integral vision of artistic phenomena. A phased examination of the following periods of art history is foreseen: the Ancient World, Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque period, the Enlightenment, Romanticism, the 1st Modern style, the 2nd Modern style, the 3rd Modern style, the Postmodern style, and as an afterword — “The Golden Age of Russian Artistic Culture.”
