The work discusses the reign of George II, this period includes not only the history of Imereti, but also the history of Odishi, Guria, Samtskhe-Saatabago, and this significantly changes the many points of view we had in historiography until now.After reviewing the written sources, we found out that according to the reign of George II, the death of Bagrat III [1565 ], which is shared in our historiography by Iv. Javakhishvili is incorrect. Vakhushti’s date – 1548 is correct [with one or two years error -1549 or 1550]. According to our research, the first spouse of George II is Tamar, the daugheter of Shermazan Diasamidze [and not the second], accordingly his second spouse is Rusudan Sharvashidze, who is regarded by some researchers as his first wife. We were also able to find out that the unsuccessful marriage of George II to Tamar Diasamidze [1535] is the result of the hostile relationship between the authorities of Samtskhe-Saatabagago [Nav-Kvarkvare III, Qaikhosro II] and the authorities of the Kingdom of Imereti [Bagrat III, George II] in the 30s and 50s of the XVI century, when Shermazan Diasamidze commanded the Feudal Lords opposed to the Qaikhosro II Jakhel. The facts that Queen Tamar became a Nun (1561) and the heir of the throne, Mamia disappeared from the royal Palace are connected to the truce of George II and Qaikhosro II in 1562.A number of important facts that happened throughout western Georgia in the 16th century,have also been specified and explained including the tragic end of the family of George II.

The 20th century brought different periods in the history of Mongolia including theocracy, socialism and democracy. This article describes what renouncing the world (especially the home and the family), taking ordination, and taking monastic vows meant at the turn of the 20th century and a century later. Extracts from interviews reveal the life of pre-novices, illustrating their family backgrounds, connections with family members after ordination, and support from and towards the family. The master-disciple relationship which was of great significance in Vajrayāna tradition, is also described. As few written sources are available to study monks’ family ties, the research was based on interviews recorded with old monks who lived in monasteries in their childhood (prior to 1937), monks who were ordained in 1990, and pre-novices of the current Tantric monastic school of Gandantegčenlin Monastery. The interviews revealed similarities and differences in monastic life in given periods due to historical reasons. Though Buddhism could not attain its previous, absolutely dominant role in Mongolia after the democratic changes, nowadays tradition and innovation exist in parallel.

Barbara Kopple survived and thrived for five decades as a producer and director in the ever-insecure world of documentary filmmaking. This chapter explores how the arc of her career fits into a greater history of documentary production, and how her business and promotional methods became and continue to function as role models. The chapter considers Kopple’s career in relation to other female documentarians (e.g. Frances Flaherty, Esther Shub, Helen Van Dongen, and others), as well as considers the ‘family feeling’ organizational model used by Kopple and other American documentary filmmakers, particularly those based in New York. The chapter also examines Kopple’s legacy in terms of the many filmmakers who she has mentored, collaborated with, and inspired in their own documentary practices.

A comprehensive history of Renaissance military architecture cannot depend solely upon the evidence of built works and theoretical models. The revolution in gunpowder warfare that rendered medieval city walls obsolete around 1500 affected virtually all towns and cities, including those which failed or refused to construct fortifications in the modern manner. Bologna offers a good case in point: although large, wealthy, and strategically located within the Papal State, it consistently and successfully opposed new fortifications throughout the tumultuous 16th century. Drawing upon unstudied visual and written sources, this essay profiles the Bolognese anti-fortification tradition. On three notable occasions Bologna rejected advanced built defenses. Early in the cinquecento the city endured and then demolished a great citadel erected by Julius II; in the 1520s, when Bologna was menaced by the army of Charles V, it was able to avert attack without recourse to the kind of bastioned enceinte envisioned for it by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger; and during the 1560s the city's magistrates successfully frustrated refortification by diplomatic means. On each occasion political and economic considerations triumphed over the putative advantages of modern military architecture.

This paper is devoted to one of renowned abdals (saints) who migrated to Balkan in the 14th century. It is Seyyid ‘Ali Sultan who was nicknamed Qyzyl-deli. The author reconstructed his life on the basis of the wide spectrum of written sources: historical chronicles, hagiography (particularly, «Vilayet-name-i Seyyid ‘Ali Sultan»), mystic hymns (nefes) and waqfs. According to the Bektashi tradition, Seyyid ‘Ali Sultan was the link between Haji Bektash and Balym Sultan who has been educated in his tekke. The author puts his figure between two mystical type: the doctrine of the early Sufi masters of Bektashiyya and «janissarian» Sufism of the 16th century. He also touches upon the issue of history of genesis of Sufi tekkes in the Balkan peninsula in the early centuries of the Ottoman conquest.

This piece is an experimental autoethnographic text that juxtaposes the author’s childhood experiences of growing up as a mixed-race Korean immigrant in a xenophobic small town in the United States with her mother’s dreams of migrating from Korea to America. The story of the family is contextualized within the history of the Korean War and postcolonial Korea and is based on several conversations the author had with her mother and aunt, in addition to her research on the Korean War and its aftermath. It reveals the many physical and symbolic disappearances in both the author’s family and Korean diaspora.

Drill And Practice

Many of our students are far from receptive to the many problems of drill materials with which some teachers provide them. And yet, most students need some drill and practice before they can successfully master a new concept or skill. The history of mathematics can play an important role in making these apparently contradictory points of view compatible. Many of the concepts and ideas in the history of mathematics were developed from practical necessity rather than from a theoretical base; it is these same ideas that offer a great deal of practice material for our students. This ancient body of knowledge can provide drill that is interesting, satisfying, challenging. And, at the same time, it offers the necessary drill to achieve competence in fundamental skills and concepts.

Artykuł jest uzupełnieniem rozważań na temat genealogii Noskowskich h. Łada, właścicieli Łęcznej, opublikowanych w 2013 r. Podstawą do nich jest dział dóbr pomiędzy synami podkomorzego lubelskiego Adama Noskowskiego, dokonany w 1653 r., po śmierci jego żony Katarzyny z Firlejów. Poczynione ustalenia wnoszą nowe fakty do naszej wiedzy na temat rodziny wywodzącej się z Mazowsza i osiadłej w województwie lubelskim w XVI w. The Noskowski of the Łada Coat of Arms. Complements to the Genealogy of the Family of the Łęczna Lineage The noble Noskowski family bearing the Łada coat of arms, who settled in the Lublin province (voivodship) in the 16th century, were the owners of Łęczna from that mid-century until the 1670s. The present paper presents the biographical profiles of three generations of its members. They are the persons whose basic genealogical data have already been presented in literature on the subject (e.g. Adam Noskowski and his sons Jan Karol and Adam Kazimierz), as well as new ones, whose personal dossiers have been collected based on extended search (Andrzej Noskowski, starost of Maków and Różan and Anna Noskowska née Tarło). The presented information complements the existing findings on the family but it also contributes new items, which clear the doubts about for example the second marriage of Anna née Tarło, or about the descent of Adam Noskowski, whom historians long regarded as a descendant of Adam Kazimierz Noskowski. Moreover, the study emphasizes the fact of the history of the family in 1653–1656, when most of its members, especially men, died out, thereby ending the Noskowski family line. The article also contains an appendix containing the publication of the division of estates carried out in 1653 between Jan Karol Noskowski and Adam Kazimierz Noskowski, sons of Adam Noskowski, the Lublin chamberlain.

Since the early 4th century, ancient Armenian authors (P‘awstos Buzand, Movsēs Xorenac‘i, Agat‘angełos, Movsēs Dasxuranc‘i, the Ašxarac‘oyc) begin to mention the Land of the Mazk‘ut‘ (Arm. ašharh Mazk‘t‘acʻ), located in the East Caucasus. The Sarmato-Alan burial mounds of plain Daghestan of the 3rd–5th centuries (Lvov, Palasa-Syrt, etc.) are attributed to this ethnic community. In 216 AD these tribes invaded Armenia through the Derbent pass (Arm. durn Čoray) (Khorenatsi 2,65), and took part in the Armenian-Iranian war in the middle of the 3rd century. At the beginning of the 4th century the post of “bdeašx from the Mazk‘ut‘s” (Agatangełos. 874) appears in administrative apparatus of Armenia, which shows the military and strategic value of the Land of Mazk‘ut‘s. At the same time, the family dynastic ties are apparently established between the ruling houses of Armenia and the kingdom of the Mazk‘ut‘ (Ašxen, Ašxadar, Trdat, Sanesan, Xosrow). The importance of this kingdom can be seen by the events of the 330s’—the struggle for the Armenian throne after the king Trdat’s death in c. 330 AD, in which the different tribes led by Sanesan, the King of the Mazk‘ut‘, took active part. The discontinuance of the Mazk‘ut‘ burial mounds in the middle of the 5th century might be explained, on the one hand, by the possible annexation of the Mazk‘ut‘ by the Huns during the invasion of Transcaucasia and the seizure of the Derbent pass in circa 440 AD; on the other hand, by the subsequent forceful displacement of the Mazk‘ut‘s and the Huns from the territory to the south of Derbent along with the strengthening of Sasanian Iran in the East Caucasus in the 440s’ and regain of control over the Derbent pass, which can be traced both in written sources (Ełishe, History of Karka de Beth Selok) and fortification monuments (mud-brick fortifications of Derbent and Torpakh-kala).
