The article presents one of the masterpieces of Renaissance Ferrara illumination – the Breviary of Ercole I d’Este (1502–1505). This manuscript was created during the active development of printing, and this fact underlines its special status and importance for the customer, and also demonstrates the stability of artistic traditions at the Ferrara court. At the same period – the first years of the 16th century – the artistic language of the Early Renaissance was changed for completely different traditions of the High Renaissance art. First of all, it was expressed in the leading role of classical motifs. The Breviary of Ercole I demonstrates the development of the classical tradition in Ferrara illumination. The article presents the manuscript in the context of the court culture of Renaissance Ferrara, providing the stylistic and iconographic analysis of the manuscript decor. The creation of the Breviary of Ercole I reflected the identity of his customer, Duke Ercole I d’Este, who contributed to the development of the humanistic culture in Ferrara. At the same time, Ercole I was a very religious man, and his personal religiosity became an important virtue of a ruler. Matteo da Milano, a representative of the Lombard school of book illumination, characterized by the classical ornamental decoration, created the most impressive elements of the manuscript decor. Besides him, there were other artists to decorate the Breviary, but their miniatures are more connected with the 15th century local tradition. In the art of Ferrara, the classical tradition took part of the «politics of magnificence». The abundance of classical motifs in this manuscript, thus, could be the goal of the customer who wished to glorify himself in this special way.

Abstract. The characteristics and appearance of an authentic map (in conformity with reality), together with the convention about how authenticity should be obtained in a map, continued to change since the beginning of modern cartography along the centuries. As Critical Cartography has emphasised, the authenticity of a map was in many cases just a convincing appearance, hiding intricate ideologies. However, the political role of maps is just one aspect of their significance, which does not exclude the existence of genuine beliefs and ideals which were guiding cartographers and map authors in the creation process.With a long tradition of understanding maps as illustration devices, Renaissance geography blended intimately with the assumptions and debates of the artistic domain of painting. Among these, veracity was a much praised ideal, signifying the ability of the art work to make present the absent things or giving a new life to people or events gone long ago, a perspective which allowed for rich metaphysical implications. In his theological atlas Theatrum Terrae Sanctae, Christian Adrichom used a variety of formula through which he expressed his view on the evocative power of maps, deriving from contemporary theories concerning truth, vision and representation. In this article we will employ the textual analysis of Adrichom’s affirmations, approaching them through the filter of the Intellectual History methodology. This method allows us to discover that the author explored the metaphysical implications of painting realism in order to present and use his maps as Christian devices, equating the veracity of the cartographic medium with the authenticity of Christ’s life and with the theological understanding of truth.

Summary Based on earlier research, and especially Tadeusz Ulewicz’s landmark study Iter Romano- -Italicum Polonorum, or the Intellectual and Cultural Links between Poland and Italy in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance (1999) this article examines the influence of Rome - in its role as the Holy See and a centre of learning and the arts - on Poland’s culture in the 15th and 16th century as well as on the activities of Polish churchmen, scholars and writers who came to the Eternal City. The aim of the article is to trace the role of the emerging Humanist themes and attitudes on the shape of the cultural exchange in question. It appears that the Roman connection was a major factor in the history of Polish Humanism - its inner development, its transformations, and the ideological and artistic choices made by the successive generations of the Polish elite. In the 15th century the Roman inspirations helped to initiate the Humanist impulse in Poland, while in the 16th century they stimulated greater diversity and a search for one’s own way of development. In the post-Tridentine epoch they became a potent element of the Poland’s new cultural formation. Against the background of these generalizations, the article presents the cultural profiles of four poets, Mikołaj of Hussów, Klemens Janicjusz, Jan Kochanowski, and Mikołaj Sęp Szarzyński. They symbolize the four phases of the Polish Humanist tradition, which draw their distinctive identities from looking up to the Roman model

The socio-cultural system in the Belgorod region, as follows from the results of sociology research, is characterized by stability and integrity. To a certain extent, it is a result of preserving the significant share of traditionalism in public consciousness. The moral guidelines for most citizens in the region are set by prevailing norms in society, which have a high degree of rejection of various social deviations. Currently, there is a transformation of traditional values and practices in «modern» ones - with the leading role of individualism, escalating consumer demand and gradual refusal from the comprehensive state regulation. However, orientation to the stability, not to the change, is the dominant of mass consciousness.

The article analyzes the nature of non-verbal human behavior. It reveals the non-verbal toolkit of the actor, its advantages over the verbal one and the main characteristics, i.e. organicity, staginess, informative richness and influence on the viewer. The antiscientific nature of the concept of verbal action and its destructive role in the organic process of the birth of a word are revealed. The study reveals the leading role of directing in the creation of the non-verbal text of the show. It determines the role of stage "silence" as the most informative and influential actor and director's tool for revealing the deep meanings of human characters, events and phenomena in the process of creating performances. The article emphasizes that it is the zones of silence, pauses, mise-en-scènes, the actor's psychophysical and director's staging constructions, and not literary texts, that broadcast the innermost meanings of spectacles, reveal the labyrinths of thoughts, intentions and feelings of the characters hidden behind dramatic texts, appealing to the imagination, fantasy and intuition of the viewer. The main types and varieties of stage pauses and zones of silence are summarized. The main provisions of the research are illustrated with non-verbal static and dynamic episodes from films and from works of theatrical art.

This paper aims to study the teachings of peace invented in the Javanese tradition particularly by Sunan Kalijaga. Sunan Kalijaga was a Muslim saint in the 15th century AD who taught mystical-philosophical teachings. His role permeates in the Javanese tradition so peaceful values that are embedded in its teachings still be traced and developed. We conducted a literature study on the role, influence and legacy of Sunan Kalijaga. We focused on his philosophical approach to religious thought as oppose to the mystical aspect. Our findings show that Sunan Kalijaga succeeded in using proper choice of words to combine Islamic values and predominant cultural elements (e.g., Hinduism, Buddhism). Therefore, instead of using the Arabic terms, Sunan Kalijaga used many old Javanese and Sanskrit terms commonly used in the 15th-16th century Javanese society. As an implication, Sunan Kalijaga created terms that are less Islamic but loaded with Islamic values. His examination is not only inherited into terms, but also practices, symbols and institutions. Among those Javanese traditions, some of them are critically important in supporting peace-building. This paper reaps the peaceful values of the Sunan teachings in the hope of countering the stream of extreme ideologies that have recently flooded the public. Paper ini bertujuan mengunduh ajaran damai yang ditanam dalam tradisi Jawaterutama yang disemai oleh Sunan Kalijaga. Sunan Kalijaga adalah seorang walipada abad ke 15 M yang memiliki ajaran bersifat mistis-filosofis. Hingga saat ini,pengaruh Sunan Kalijaga sangat terasa dalam tradisi Jawa sehingga nilai-nilaidamai yang ada dalam ajarannya masih dapat ditelusuri dan dikembangkan.Dengan menerapkan studi pustaka, data-data dalam riset ini dikumpulkan darisumber-sumber yang mengkaji Sunan Kalijaga, peran, pengaruh, dan warisanwarisannya.Oleh karena corak pemikiran keagamaan Sunan Kalijaga bersifatmistis-filosofis, maka aspek mistisisme dan pendekatan filsafat juga digunakandalam tulisan ini. Paper ini memaparkan temuan bahwa dalam pratiknya, SunanKalijaga melakukan permainan bahasa yang dengan cara tersebut ia berhasilmemadukan antara nilai-nila i keislaman dengan unsur buda y a dominanyang telah ada sebelumnya yaitu Hindu dan Buddha. Oleh karena itu, alihalihmenggunakan istilah Arab, Sunan Kalijaga justru banyak menggunakanistilah Jawa Kuna dan Sansekerta yang lazim digunakan dalam masyarakat Jawaabad 15-16. Hasil dari upaya tersebut, Sunan Kalijaga menghadirkan istilahistilahyang tampaknya kurang Islami namun sarat muatan nilai-nilai Islam.Ijtihad Sunan Kalijaga tidak hanya terwariskan menjadi istilah-istilah, namunjuga menjadi praktik, simbol bahkan melembaga. Dari beberapa bentuk tradisijawa yang diwariskan Sunan Kalijaga dapat diambil bebera p a nilai pentingyang mendukung iklim damai. Paper ini memetik nilai-nilai damai ajaran sangSunan tersebut dengan harapan dapat membendung arus ideologi ekstrim yangakhir-akhir ini semakin membanjiri ruang publik.

The article reveals the interdependence of the most important typological qualities of the Russian professional school — the epic beginning and broad melody and chant — with the development of sacred music of the Middle Ages and folklore. The epic style of the znamenny chant that prevailed in the early period (11th–14th centuries) in many aspects coincides with the bylin epic. At a later period of Muscovite Russia (15th–17th centuries) the melody of Junior edition of the znamenny chant and the development of new lengthy chants — putevoj, demestvennyj and bolshoj — led to recognition of the leading role of melodic beginning. Not earlier than the end of the 16th century this was manifested in folklore, in the genre of lyrical (drawl) songs. Russian Church singing shows that the medieval musical tradition, like the architectural, fresco, iconographic, and hymnographic traditions, preserved its aesthetic and value foundations in the styles of later epochs, forming a typology of musical thinking, the leading trends of the Russian school, and the national mentality. The role of the sacred music in Russian history should be assessed objectively.

Summary This article is continuation of the writer’s research into the role of Piotr Skarga in the thought and teaching of Pope John Paul II. The results of the initial investigations focused on the creation of the character of Skarga in Karol Wojtyła’s juvenile drama Jeremiah (1940) were presented in a paper read at a conference on Piotr Skarga at the Ignatianum Academy in Cracow in May 2012. Now, having assumed that Karol Wojtyła read Skarga’s Sermons already in his schooldays, the writer of this article combs all of John Paul II’s statements for references to the famous 16th-century Jesuit preacher. Then the references are traced to the original and subjected to a systematic review aimed at establishing their structure and role in articulating John Paul II’s message for his audiences, and in a broader sense, for Poland. The article also considers other, analogous occasions when the Pope chose not to reach out to the Skarga armory, although he could well have done so.
