The article examines the prerequisites of the appearance, the process of development and the beginning of the implementation of the church-state project of Archbishop Innokenty (Borisov) of Kherson and Tauride “Russian, or Crimean, Athos”, aimed at restoring ancient Christian monasteries on the Crimean peninsula and introducing hermit lifestyle in them according to the charter developed according to the Athos model. The article considers the revival in the middle of the 19th century of the Bakhchisarai Dormition Skete, which became the base of the spiritual center created in the Crimea. The article presents new archival documents on the history of the skete during the Crimean War of 1853—1856. (the affiliation of hieromonk Ioannikiy (Savinov), who was awarded the Order of St. George, to the skete is established; the activities of other monks in the infirmaries are shown; the myth of the existence of a military hospital within the walls of the monastery itself is debunked).

The article is devoted to the identification and analysis of the source documents used by land surveyors to compile Economic Notes to the General Land Survey plans. The landmarking on the Crimean Peninsula began in the late 18th century, but by the early 19th century it was judged premature and suspended until development of special rules taking into account the peculiarities of land use in the region. And yet the field notes of land surveyors on the Crimean Peninsula of the turn of the 19th century preserve primary economic information to a greater extent than those on other territories of the Russian Empire. This information is presented in the “Skazki to the Economic Land Survey,” data collected from the local population. Skazki (“tales”) containing initial data for Economic Land Survey remain a poorly studied and rarely encountered source. Their identification in these field notes makes it possible to verify the accuracy of the Economic Land Survey and to restore the information excluded from the Brief Economic Notes and descriptions of specific lands in the lost Full and Cameral Economic Notes. The discovered “Skazki to the Economic Notes” on the Tauride gubernia are a unique source that makes it possible to assess the economy of Crimea at the turn of 19th century. They characterize natural environment, economic activities on the peninsula and occupations of its population, provide information on the soil conditions, available water resources, common species of trees, animals, birds, and fish. In their structure, they coincide with the skazki compiled in other regions of Russia, but have characteristic features that are associated with the identity of the Crimea and its economic condition in the late 18th century. The process of the Crimea development made its own adjustments to the land survey documentation. Unlike other regions, here the authors of the skazki were not only landowners’ attorneys, but also land owners themselves — local beys and murzes. The introduction of the skazki into scientific use opens opportunities for comparing their data with the preserved texts of the Economic Notes and for studying the history of the region at the micro level of individual settlements.

Until now, it was believed that the first experience of using female labor in military medicine dates back to the middle of the 19th century, when during the Crimean War of 1853-1856. a detachment of sisters of mercy under the leadership of N. I. Pirogov worked in the theater of military operations. However, some documents indicate that in peacetime, female personnel in domestic military medicine began to be used much earlier.

The review examines new publications on the history of Karaites – the monographs “Karaites in the Russian Empire in the late 18th – early 20th centuries” and the “Karaite communities: biographies, facts and documents (late 18th – early 20th centuries”. They studied a significant chronological period – from the time of the Karaites appearing in the Crimea and up to the beginning of the 20th century. A reasoned conclusion is made that the so-called “ The Golden Age” is the most tense in the history of the Karaite people – the time from the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula to the Russian Empire in 1783 and until 1917. It was during these 100 years when the significant transformations took place in the old-timers communities of the peninsula, when the ideas of Russian culture and education spread among the Crimean Karaites, and they themselves were actively integrated into Russian social structures. The monographs are equipped with a detailed historical excursion, which reveals many relevant and little-known facts from the past of the Karaites.

Subordinate Role

Throughout the 19th century, midwives were depicted as incompetent slatterns in both popular imagery and medical literature. We examine how, between 1500 and 1800, midwifery was regulated by a combination of formal licensing by the Church and informal oversight within the community. We argue that episcopal licensing demanded that midwives demonstrate knowledge and competence in midwifery, not only that they were spiritually fit to baptise dying infants. Although episcopal licensing lacked statutory authority, the symbiosis of formal and informal systems of regulation ensured good midwifery practice and midwives were regarded as experts in all matters relating to childbirth. The Midwives Act 1902 introduced statutory regulation of midwives, restoring their ‘professional status’ if in a subordinate role. We show that the history of the regulation of midwives across four centuries casts light on the interplay between formal and informal regulation and matters of gender and professional status.

Design Logic

Since the 19th century, the church of Zsámbék was continuously a focus of scholars' interest. The present paper intends to research the church ruins with a new aspect. Using an accurate terrestrial laser scan survey, the geometry of the plan is analysed in order to find proportions among the dimensions. The main goal of the study is to gather information about the design logic of the first masters of the 13th-century Premonstratensian abbey. In addition, our goal was to detect contributions to the 13th-century construction history of the church, that cannot be found in archives of graphic sources. The latest archaeological excavation achieved excellent results concerning several crucial historical points; however, the periodization of the church is still not entirely clarified. From the 19th century, different scholars have proposed various hypotheses about this topic, without consensus.

This article forms the sequel to "The Balliol that Might Have Been: Pugin's Crushing Oxford Defeat" (JSAH, XLV, 1986, 358-373). That study showed that Augustus W. N. Pugin (1812-1852) was prevented from carrying out his plans for renovating Balliol College, Oxford, because of his somewhat singular views and oppressive nature, combined with the prevailing sentiments against Roman Catholics in the University. The present study surveys the history of the two small commissions that Pugin was granted: the Magdalen College gateway and the Church of St. Lawrence, Tubney (the only Anglican church Pugin ever built). In both cases Pugin was appointed as architect through the benevolence of Dr. John Rouse Bloxam, in appeasement for the failures at Balliol. Pugin executed the designs in secrecy and with extraordinary speed, thereby hoping to avoid criticism or scandal, in an effort to erect a small monument to himself in Oxford, his "city of spires," which he hoped could serve as the model for the 19th-century Gothic revival in England.

В статье на основе архивных документов, впервые введенных в научный обиход, реконструируется история Императорского оркестра в СанктПетербурге первой трети ХIХ века. Показано, что в данный период, в отличие от модели Придворного оркестра, существовавшей в эпоху Екатерины Великой, институт оркестра опирался на несколько подразделений. Структура оркестра все более зависела от жизни оперных трупп. Яркой иллюстрацией является история оркестра итальянской труппы созыва 1828 года и реформа оркестра, проведенная Дирекцией Императорских театров в 1831 году параллельно увольнению труппы. Реформа осуществлена директором оркестров К. Кавосом, более известным в качестве композитора, инспектора Театральной школы, капельмейстера Русской оперы. Проясняется значение некоторых важных понятий, связанных с институтом оркестра рассматриваемого периода. The article reconstructs the history of the Imperial orchestra in St. Petersburg of the first third of the 19th century on the basis of archival documents first introduced into the scientific area. It is shown that unlike the model of the Court Orchestra, which existed in the era of Catherine the Great, the institution of orchestra of the beginning of the 19th century relied on several subdivisions. The orchestra structure increasingly depended on the operation of opera companies. A bright illustration is the history of the Italian company orchestra of 1828 and the reform of the orchestra, which followed in connection with its dismissal by the Directorate of Imperial Theatres in 1831. The reform was carried out by the director of orchestras Catterino Cavos, better known as a composer, inspector of the Theatre School, Kapellmeister of the Russian Opera. The author also clarifies the significance of some important terms related to the institution of the orchestra of the period under consideration.

The study analyzes the historical and philosophical origins of the renewal in church monumental art in French culture at the turn of the 20th century. The crisis that broke out in the second half of the 19th century within the philosophical knowledge and classical religion and an attempt to rethink the evolution of Christianity entailed significant changes in artistic creativity devoted to the sacred theme. The author explores the topic based on the church mural paintings of the French painter Maurice Denis, who stood at the origins of the transformation of the language of religious painting and whose role is significant for the further history of European art. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that all previous studies on this topic were primarily art criticisms. They paid special attention to the analysis of the artistic language and pictorial and expressive means. At the same time, questions of historical and philosophical nature and their role in the formation of new European religious painting were analyzed to a much lesser extent.

The Crimean peninsula is a tourist gem of the Northern Black Sea, has long earned the nickname "Russian Riviera". The birth and development of tourism and certain types and forms of tourism services in the Russian Empire was connected exactly with the Crimea. The problems of the history of the recreation development of Crimea, development of tourist services and leisure activities are widely revealed in some of its issues and aspects. But these issues continues to remain relevant, since provide answers to many topical questions and predict future trends development of the main sector of the regional economy. The purpose of the publication is generalization of the experience of the tourism and recreation development on the Crimean peninsula, the selection of stages of its formation, identification of key characteristics and features of these stages. Crimea has an inexhaustible reserve ofresources for the development ofinbound international and domestic tourism. Southern coast of Crimea ("Crimean Riviera") is a classic example of recreational agglomeration, which in combination with the Sochi recreational areas could potentially form a polycentric recreational megaaglomeration "Russian Riviera". In the process of formation and development of the sphere of tourist services in Crimea are selected, justified and characterized seven periods: 1) prehistory of the Crimean tourism — until the middle of the XVIII century; 2) the period of pioneer elite development of the Crimean Riviera —1782-1830; 3) the period of focal recreational development in Crimea — 1830-1914; 4) period of the initial stage development of the Soviet recreation of Crimea — 1917-1940; 5) the period of intensive recreational development stage of the Soviet Crimea — 1945-1990; 6) Ukrainian period of recreational sphere development of the Crimea — 1991-2014; 7) the period of specialization in the development of domestic tourism as a part of Russia. Further state of tourism sector depends on the rate of development of the Russian economy and welfare of the population of Russia, transport accessibility of the peninsula.
