La expulsión de los jesuitas en 1767 supuso la puesta en marcha de un amplio sistema administrativo centrado en la gestión de las posesiones que habían pertenecido hasta entonces a la Compañía de Jesús. Una de los cometidos que tenían que llevar a cabo estos consejos estaba centrado en el inventariado y distribución de las alhajas y ornamentos que esta orden tenía en sus colegios e iglesias. En el caso de Murcia, el inventario efectuado para tal fin, ofrece una panorámica general del estado en el que se encontraba la Iglesia de San Esteban aquel año. Asimismo, la documentación conservada refleja el destino de algunas alhajas y ornamentos que, siguiendo las indicaciones reales, fueron divididas y distribuidas, quedando algunas en el templo original, pasando otras a las parroquias pobres y llegando otras al convento franciscano de Santa Catalina del Monte. En este artículo se analiza este inventario, así como la distribución de sus alhajas y ornamentos, conforme a lo que sucedió en otros territorios españoles, incluyendo el propio caso de Caravaca de la Cruz, con el fin de ofrecer una visión global. The expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767 entailed the setting up of a broad administrative system focused on the management of the goods heretofore belonging to the Society of Jesus. Among the tasks that these councils were meant to accomplish appears the inventory and distribution of the silverware and ornaments that had been preserved by this order in its colleges and churches. In the case of Murcia, the executed inventory for that purpose offers an overview of the state of the Church of San Esteban in that year. Additionally, the documentation preserved reflects the destination of the silverware and ornaments: some of them were kept in the temple, some were sent to poorer parishes and some ended up in the Franciscan convent of Santa Catalina del Monte. This inventory has been analysed in this paper, as well as the distribution of its silverware and ornaments, according to what occurred in other Spanish territories, including the case of Caravaca de la Cruz, with the aim of offering a general picture.

W 1850 r. kościół i klasztor Dominikanów w Krakowie spłonął w czasie wielkiego pożaru miasta; wkrótce potem ruszyła odbudowa kompleksu. W czasie prac na dachu nawy głównej kościoła św. Trójcy, 19 października 1863 r., w kuli wieńczącej sygnaturkę umieszczono „kapsułę czasu”. Znalazł się w niej m.in. pergaminowy dyplom memoratywny, spisany przez przeora o. Piotra Wilhelma. Opisuje on wielki pożar Krakowa oraz odbudowę dominikańskiej świątyni, a także katastrofę budowlaną w kościele z kwietnia 1855 r. Dokument wymienia wybitne postacie związane z konwentem na przestrzeni wieków oraz członków obecnego i wcześniejszego komitetu odbudowy kościoła. Przedstawiono także sposoby pozyskiwania funduszy potrzebnych do restauracji świątyni. Dalej dyplom informuje o odpuście udzielonym przez papieża Piusa IX dla ofiarodawców, uroczystościach 600-lecia śmierci św. Jacka i powtórnym pochówku szczątków księcia Leszka Czarnego w 1857 r. Dokument opisuje także ówczesny stan prac w kościele oraz podaje sumę pieniędzy zebranych ze składek i ofiar wiernych. Pod koniec tekstu głównego o. Wilhelm wspomina o trwającym wówczas powstaniu styczniowym oraz „jubileuszu tysiąclecia istnienia narodu”, nawiązując do 1 000. rocznicy rozpoczęcia przez śś. Cyryla i Metodego działalności misyjnej w Państwie Wielkomorawskim. Pod tekstem widnieje ponad 60 autografów osób z różnych warstw i grup społecznych, uczestników uroczystości umieszczenia „kapsuły czasu” w kuli sygnaturki. Dyplom stanowi interesujące świadectwo uniwersalnego ludzkiego pragnienia pozostawienia po sobie materialnego śladu. Lodge of Memory. Document from a sphere in the flèche of the Dominican church in Krakow from 1863 In 1850, the Dominican church and priory in Krakow burned down during the Great Fire. Shortly after this disaster, the Order began rebuilding them both. While the works on the roof of the central nave of the Holy Trinity Church were underway, a “time capsule” was placed in a sphere at the top of the flèche on 19 October 1863. A document written on parchment by Piotr Wilhelm was put inside. The text describes the Great Fire of Krakow and the rebuilding of the Dominican temple, as well as a construction disaster in April 1855. text names prominent people associated with the friary over the centuries, as well as members of the last two church rebuilding committees. The document also contains a description of funding sources necessary to restore the temple. The text then speaks of the indulgence granted by Pope Pius IX for benefactors, the 600th anniversary of St. Hyacinth’s death, and the second funeral of Leszek II the Black’s remains in 1857. The source also describes the state of works in the church and provides information concerning the amount of money accumulated through contributions and collections of the congregation. At the end of the main text, Father Wilhelm mentions the ongoing January Uprising and the “millennium jubilee of the nation’s existence”, alluding to the 1 000th anniversary of St. Cyril and St. Methodius beginning their missions in Great Moravia. The document concludes with over 60 signatures of people of various rank and social status, who participated in the celebration of placing the “time capsule” in a sphere at the top of the flèche. The source is an interesting testimony of universal human aspirations to leave behind a material vestige.

This chapter focuses on political theories that were forged by the Jesuits. It analyzes how these theories became dogmatic outfits used by the Society of Jesus, as well as by the church and the monarchies, and how the information that came from other continents nourished the reflection of the theologians in Europe. In their roles as professors at the universities and as counselors to kings, these theologians wrote extensively about politics and law in treaties that intended to include discussions on European monarchies and their overseas dominions, as well as on all other republics, in a comprehensive theory of the state and of human law. Therefore, special attention is given to authors who had practical experience of overseas countries and, in the European setting, to the most influential theologians who made an effort at assimilating and processing information from abroad to develop an all-inclusive perspective.

The article presents the results of studying inscribed and dated objects of applied art of the 16th–17th century from the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. The subject of the research is the set of church plates from the monasteries of the Dormition of Our Lady and the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple in Tikhvin and the precious tsata from the Tikhvin icon of the Mother of God (Stockholmskaya) from the Tikhvin Cathedral of the Transfiguration. In 1928, the items were given to the State Russian Museum from the department of ecclesiastical property of the State Museum fund. The majority of these items were made in the Moscow workshops. The study provided an opportunity to identify the items fabricated by Tikhvin silversmiths. The authors analyze the iconography, style, structural and technical features of a number of art works including liturgical vessels, a church lamp and several altar Gospels. The study substantiates new attributions of the chalice and the church lamp from the Cathedral of Dormition of Our Lady. Attention is given to the inscriptions on the items. The authors examine the specifics of the forms of inscriptions and cite new data on the donors such as Ivan Nikitich Romanov, Ivan Ivanovich Shuiskii and the Mikhalkov family.

Introduction. Today, the remains of fresco paintings are preserved in six cave churches of Taurica: the temple of the Southern Monastery (Mangup); church in the field of Kielse-Tubu (district of Mangup); the temple of the Assumption and the Three Horsemen (Eski-Kermen); the Donators Temple (district of Eski-Kermen); the church number 12 on Zagaytansky rock (Inkerman). Authors of the 19th – early 20th centuries left descriptions of the now lost murals of six more monuments. Methods. Frescos of Crimean cave churches in historiography received insufficient comprehension. Only one monograph was published on this issue (1966). Analysis. Opinions and comments regarding the mural paintings of the cave churches of Crimea, expressed by reputable art historians and specialists in fresco paintings, are relevant. These include Igor Grabar. He was in Crimea in 1927, as the head of the Central Art Conservation Center by Glavnauka of the RSFSR. The Manuscript Department of the State Tretyakov Gallery stores leaflets from the notebook “Igor Grabar’s trip notes in the Crimea and about Old Russian art”. Authors publish the full text of Igor Grabar’s notes concerning the murals of cave churches: the temple of the Assumption and the Three Horsemen (Eski-Kermen); the Donators Temple (district of Eski-Kermen); the temple of the Southern Monastery (Mangup). Results. Igor Grabar’s notes help us clarify many points of view in the study of frescos of cave temples in Crimea. The study of the murals of the temple of the Three Horsemen by Igor Grabar allows us to justifiably discard the versions of “three Georges” and “portraits of real local figures”. There are images of three holy warriors: Dmitry, Theodore (Stratilates or Tyrone), and George in the cave temple. The study of the Mangup Church fresco by Igor Grabar allowed us to develop a periodization of the formation of fresco paintings of this monument.

Dhimmī (non-Muslim subjects, mostly Christians and Jews, who were afforded protection by the Islamic state) persecution in Islamic Egypt included most notably that instigated by the Fatimid caliph al-Ḥākim from about 395/1004 until near the end of his reign in 411/1021. This ruler imposed burdensome restrictions and sumptuary regulations on Jews and Christians, causing significant numbers of them to adopt Islam. He also commenced the state-sponsored destruction of churches and synagogues, most famously the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. And yet, near the end, this same caliph relented, mitigating the severity of his previous policies. A general picture of what happened already exists, but the precise chronological order of these events and many of the exact details remain vague. Most importantly, we continue not to have a reason for his radically new policy. Al-Maqrīzī’s various accounts provide useful evidence although they hardly suffice. The Jewish reaction is far from clear. Two Christian histories, those by the Melkite Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd of Antioch and the History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria, confirm many particulars. However none of this information explains why. Was al-Ḥākim moved to act as he did in response to, or in imitation of, the strikingly similar set of restrictive regulations imposed long before under the so-called “Pact of ʿUmar”?

The paper deals with a special sector of public procurement — G2G, in which state organizations act as both customers and suppliers. The analysis shows the convergence between contractual and administrative relations and risks of transferring the negative factors, responsible for market failures, into the administrative system, as well as the changing nature of the state organization. Budget losses in the sector G2G are revealed and estimated. There are doubts, whether the current practice of substitution of market-based instruments for administrative requirements is able to maintain integrity of public procurement in the situation of growing strategic challenges. Measures are proposed for the adjustment and privatization of contractual relations.

This article is a reflection on the role and contribution of the church in a democratic South Africa. The involvement of the church in the struggle against apartheid is revisited briefly. The church has played a pivotal and prominent role in bringing about democracy by being a prophetic voice that could not be silenced even in the face of death. It is in this time of democracy when real transformation is needed to take its course in a realistic way, where the presence of the church has probably been latent and where it has assumed an observer status. A look is taken at the dilemmas facing the church. The church should not be bound and taken captive by any form of loyalty to any political organisation at the expense of the poor and the voiceless. A need for cooperation and partnership between the church and the state is crucial at this time. This paper strives to address the role of the church as a prophetic voice in a democratic South Africa. Radical economic transformation, inequality, corruption, and moral decadence—all these challenges hold the potential to thwart our young democracy and its ideals. Black liberation theology concepts are employed to explore how the church can become prophetically relevant in democracy. Suggestions are made about how the church and the state can best form partnerships. In avoiding taking only a critical stance, the church could fulfil its mandate “in season and out of season” and continue to be a prophetic voice on behalf of ordinary South Africans.

Power And Authority

Early Mormons used the Book of Mormon as the basis for their ecclesiology and understanding of the open heaven. Church leaders edited, harmonized, and published Joseph Smith’s revelation texts, expanding understandings of ecclesiastical priesthood office. Joseph Smith then revealed the Nauvoo Temple liturgy, with its cosmology that equated heaven, kinship, and priesthood. This cosmological priesthood was materialized through sealings at the temple altar and was the context for expansive teachings incorporating women into priesthood. This cosmology was also the basis for polygamy, temple adoption, and restrictions on the participation of black men and women in the church. This framework gave way at the end of the nineteenth century to a new priesthood cosmology introduced by Joseph F. Smith based on male ecclesiastical office. As church leaders expanded the meaning of priesthood to comprise the entire power and authority of God, they struggled to integrate women into church cosmology.
