При воссоздании духовной истории Палестины важное значение имеет комплексное изучение паломнической литературы. Цель настоящей статьи - проанализировать воспоминания паломников XIX в. о Лавре св. Саввы Освященного не только как литературные произведения, но и как важные источники по истории палестинского подвижничества. Методология исследования базируется на комплексном применении традиционных научных методов: источниковедческого, историко-логического и сравнительно-исторического. В статье по воспоминаниям паломников XIX в. реконструирован уклад монашеской жизни савваитов, рассказано о духовном облике настоятеля Лавры игумена Иоасафа. В отдельных разделах проанализировано влияние рукописного наследия Лавры на литературное наследие членов Русской духовной миссии, известных русских богословов XIX в. свт. Феофана Затворника и архимандрита Леонида (Кавелина). Lavra of St. Sava the Sanctified was founded by Saint Sava in the end of the fifth century. Monastery located in the Judean desert, in the valley of Cedron. In the monastery lived many hermits, among them St. John of Damascus, Church hymnography, author of the well-known Church hymns. The historical and spiritual significance of the Lavra of St. Sava the Consecrated for Palestine was precisely determined by A. N. Muravyov in «Letters from the East», comparing it with the Lavra of St. Sergius. Therefore, the memoirs of pilgrims can be considered not only as literary works, but also as an important historical source on the history of Palestinian asceticism in the XIX century. The research methodology is based on the complex application of traditional scientific methods: source-based, historical-logical and comparative-historical. In this article, based on the memoirs of pilgrims of the XIX century, the way of monastic life of the savaites is reconstructed, and the spiritual appearance of the Abbot of the Lavra, Abbot Joasaph, is described. Russian Russian spiritual mission members, famous Russian theologians of the XIX century, Saint Theophan the Recluse and Archimandrite Leonid (Kavelin) are analyzed in separate sections for their influence on the literary heritage of the Lavra.

AbstractA passage of Plutarch's biography of Alcibiades (Alc. 33.2) invites us to explore the way Athens rewarded its benefactors in the fifth and fourth century, especially the first awards of crowns to citizens. This article challenges the widespread assumption that Alcibiades' crowning with gold when he came back to Athens from his exile is an invention by Plutarch or a previous source. First, there is evidence that the crowning was known to other ancient authors. Furthermore, if one takes into consideration not only inscriptions, but also literary sources, Plutarch's report is not an isolated piece of information. It fits well in the history of the Athenian practice of bestowing honors. It has precedents in Athens, continuity after Alcibiades, parallels in other cities, and corresponds to the behavior one would expect from the dêmos as well as from a benefactor at the end of the fifth century. When viewed in this light, Plutarch's information may help us to understand the first stages of the institution of honoring fellow citizens, which was to become so important in later times.

Substantially, “Tasawuf” as the way towards God had been existing since the prophet age; but it was just at the end of the second Hijriyah this term that was known as zuhud became then popularly known as tasawuf. After Islam develops, marked by variety of traditions and sciences as the result of the contribution of various culture expressed through knowledge, tasawuf becomes clear in Islam. Some intellectuals don’t see tasawuf as pure Islam, because some teachings related to certain rituals reflect some tradition and culture. Many intellectuals agreed to Nasr’s opinion, and there are many western intellectuals know tasawuf (Sufism) better than Islam. Now tasawuf has been considered by many people as a universal spiritual value and it is as eternal as Islam.

There has been no focused study of the chorus in fourth-century drama. This may be, in part, explained by the difficult and diffuse evidence for its presence and activity. Two phenomena may also have discouraged scholars from attempting any such focused study: Aristotle’s castigation of later dramatic odes as embolima, and the replacement of choral odes in papyri with the mark χοροῦ‎, or χοροῦ μέλος‎—‘song of the chorus’. The notion that the chorus of drama in the fourth century was a pale shadow of its fifth-century self has flourished for well over a century. In order to do so, however, much positive evidence for the quantity and quality of the dramatic chorus has had to be explained away. An examination of the chorus itself, and the way contemporary thinkers used the idea of the chorus, will allow the re-writing of the history of Attic drama and its development.

The problems of sanitary condition of the urban environment became the object of the policy of the city public administration as a result of the city reform of Alexander II. The city reform 1870 gave the rights to the City Dumas to publish the Compulsory Resolutions on issues of urban improvement and public health. These Resolutions were based on existing laws, but their content depended on the decisions of specific City Dumas. The existing Compulsory Resolutions could be supplemented with new ones over time and could be rewritten. In this context, of particular interest are the first attempts by local self-government bodies to legally regulate sanitary problems of the urban environment. The article is devoted to the analysis of the historical source “Collection of Compulsory Resolutions issued by cities and zemstvos of the Novgorod province” in terms of the information presented in it on the regulation of interaction between citizens and the components of the natural environment in the cities in the last third of XIX century. This historical source is valuable for researchers of urban environmental history, because it allows to identify the degree of urgency of local problems associated with urban pollution and disease for local self-government.

Abstract. A history of complex trauma or exposure to multiple traumatic events of an interpersonal nature, such as abuse, neglect, and/or major attachment disruptions, is unfortunately common in youth referred for psychological assessment. The way these adolescents approach the Rorschach task and thematic contents they provide often reflect how such experiences have deeply affected their personality development. This article proposes a shift in perspective in the interpretation of protocols of adolescents who suffered complex trauma with reference to two aspects: (a) the diagnostic relevance of avoidant or emotionally constricted Rorschach protocols that may otherwise appear of little use, and (b) the importance of danger-related thematic contents reflecting the youth’s sense of threat, harm, and vulnerability. Regarding this last aspect, the article reintroduces the Preoccupation with Danger Index ( DI). Two cases are presented to illustrate the approach.
