The subject of this research is the artworks of the Flemish painter Jan Philipp van Thielen – a prominent author of the pieces depicting flower garlands in the XVII century, but so little-known nowadays. His name is unjustly forgotten in Russian historiography, although his paintings exhibited in the national museums; although in Western historiography, his popularity has grown in recent decades. Special attention is given to the painter’s works in different genres (religion, portraits, mythology), which are framed by a flower garland accentuating and symbolizing the central images. The scientific novelty of consists in ratification of art of the once renowned and now almost forgotten painter Jan Philipp van Thielen, as well as in the proof that he was one of the most popular flower painters in Flanders, and his patrons and customers were such high-rank aristocrats as Diego Felípez de Guzmán 1st Marquess of Leganés (1580-1655), and Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria (1664-1662), both art lovers and philanthropists. The acquired results demonstrate that Jan Philip van Thielen painted flower garlands in different genres. In the art of Flanders of the XVII century with remarkable success the showed the beauty of garlands and their use for enhancing the religious or moralizing meaning of the central images. His works are widely exhibited not only in museums, but also in auctions, which once again proves his important role in the painting of the XVII century.

The National Museums Scotland collections include clothes and textiles recovered from Scottish peat bogs, examples which are revealing of vernacular, non-elite dress in Scotland. One of these sets, the clothes recovered from peat moss at Quintfall Hill on the Barrock Estate, near Keiss, Caithness and dating from the late seventeenth century are the subject of this article. Although reported in some detail after their discovery in 1920, very little further consideration was given to these clothes. This article, the second of two, describes the finds in more detail and discusses them in the context of other Scottish and Irish finds of the period c. 1650–c. 1750, and draws on recent discoveries about the textiles. Pattern-cutting analyses of the garments are also presented as diagrams and discussed in relation to the cut and tailoring of surviving examples elsewhere.

<p>A dos hechos debe A Satyr Against Mankind (1675) su fama y su interés para la crítica: por un lado, a que como primer ejemplo de su clase en la literatura inglesa contiene abundantes referencias a autores u obras clásicas y de su momento; por otro, sin olvidar la polémica personalidad de su autor, a que algo en sus versos parece indicar que la voz satírica no es sino el trasunto de un Conde de Rochester desengañado y en contra de su propio destino como hombre. Sin embargo, la maestría del poeta de la Restauración no radica tanto en la originalidad de su tema como en su tratamiento de éste, de modo que se puede incluso dudar de su discutido carácter autobiográfico si se analiza la estructura de su contenido, organizado según los procedimientos retóricos propios del género y de la época.</p><p>Two are the facts to which A Satyr Against Mankind (1675) owes its critical interest and fame. To begin with, as the first example of its kind written in English, its numerous literary sources can be traced back from the Classics to the contemporary works of the XVII century intellectuals. Secondly, considering Rochester's own polemic character and personality, there is something in its satirical voice that seems to be revealing but the poet's own frustration and rejection of his destiny as a man. Nevertheless, Rochester's mastery does not lie in the originality of the subject matter but in the N vay he handles his materials. Thus it is possible to question the controversial issue of biographical evidence in this poem by analysing the structure of its content and the way thought is organised under the rhetoric principies in vigour at the time.</p>

Resum: El paisatge bucòlic es va convertir en una espècie de partitura i de joc metalíric en els tons barrocs de tal manera que sembla com si els intèrprets i les veus que els canten només tinguessin que seguir les indicacions que els tòpics poètics dicten des del text per a que la sonoritat, l’harmonia i la música fossin possibles. Resulta molt curiós també que, tan tardanament, fos a propòsit de l’amor bucolicopastoral el pretext amb què l’incipient art del to es mostrés més experimental. Només aquest motiu musical podria justificar, que, a principis del segle XVII, proliferessin les composicions de tons de temàtica bucòlica i d’aquells altres que estan centrats en una Natura, si bé no idealitzada, no advertida pel més tardà panteisme egocèntric. En aquest treball ens centrarem, per tant, en les causes d’aquest esforç d’originalitat musical i de llurs èxits, així com la repercussió que va tenir en la poesia musicada. També seguirem l’evolució poeticomusical del to bucolicopastoral de la mà dels millors compositors peninsulars (alguns encara desconeguts) per a terminar oferint les característiques més significatives que permeten fixar-lo com una de les importants tipologies de la història de la música peninsular del segle XVII.. Paraules clau: to barroc, poesia i música del segle XVII, bucolisme líric, estudi interdisciplinar, llenguatge poeticomusical.   Abstract: The bucolic landscape became a kind of sheet music and metalyrical game in baroque tonos in such a way that it seems as if the performers and the voices that sing them have only to follow the indications that the poetic topics dictate from the text so that the sonority, harmony and music were possible. It is very curious also that, so belatedly, it was on the subject of pastoral-bucolic love the pretext with which the incipient art of the tono was more experimental. Only this musical motif could justify, that, at the beginning of the XVII century, the compositions of bucolic tonos proliferated and of those others that are centered in a Nature, although not idealized, not noticed by the later egocentric pantheism. In this work we will focus, therefore, on the causes of this effort of musical originality and its achievements, as well as the repercussion that it had on musicalized poetry. We will also follow the poetic-musical evolution of the bucolic-pastoral tono along with the best peninsular composers (some still unknown) to end up offering the most significant characteristics that allow us to fix it as one of the important typologies of the history of the peninsular music of the XVII century. Keywords: Baroque tono; Poetry and music of the seventeenth century; Lyric bucolicism; Interdisciplinary study; Poetic-musical language.

Во-вторых, привлечь внимание исследователей к изучению соотношения между источниковедческой и историографической ценностью этой литературы в контексте процесса зарождения научного кавказоведения. В-третьих, выявить роль приходящих политико-идеологических факторов, обусловленных геополитическими интересами западных государств и их специфическим (так сказать, ориенталистским) восприятием Востока вообще и Кавказа в частности. Авторские выводы требуют дальнейшей проверки с целью подтверждения одних идей, корректировки других и критического переосмысления третьих. The threefold task the author had in mind implies the following. First, to assess informative value of the 18th century European sketches on the Caucasus as a source of the appropriate knowledge. Second, to redirect scholarly attention towards searching for distinct lines between murky facts and their interpretation, oftentimes arbitrary, uncritical, and even openly biased. It would help to reveal what might be called a scientific trend in Western «historiography» on the region`s past. Third, to expose the role of the incoming political and ideological factors determined by geostrategic interests of the concerned States on the one hand and by its largely prejudiced, as it were, orientalistic perception of the East on the other.

The subject of this research is the concept of nobleness &ldquo;l&rsquo;honn&ecirc;tet&eacute;&rdquo; as the category of ethical and spiritual life in the French society of the XVII century. The ideas of &ldquo;l&rsquo;honn&ecirc;teta&rdquo; promted the formation of the new cultural and intellectual elite, anew ethos that was relatively supranational and standing above classes, adapted to court and secular life. The focus of the discussion that unfolded in the early XVII century is the question of whether it is possible to become a noble person by cultivating certain personality traits close to the ideal, or nobleness is an inherent quality and determined by social position in the existing hierarchy. The answer to this crucial question of the era had to destroy the stereotypes of medieval mentality. The philosophy of &ldquo;l&rsquo;honn&ecirc;tetit&rdquo; legitimized the infiltration of the third estate into the ruling class &ndash; nobles of the robe and petty nobility. The discussion around nobleness and the new ideal of a noble person performed the function of adaptation of the elites to the changing social conditions &ndash; the strengthening absolutism. The debate on the definition of a noble person continued unabated throughout the XVII century. However, by the second half of the XVII century, it was no longer relevant and completely replaced by the gallant ideal. The Russian historical literature did not give due attention to studying the &ldquo;theory of nobleness&rdquo;, which defines the relevance of this research. The focus of attentions shifts onto the new ideal that determines behavioral and communication pattern, system of education, and generated French society in the early XVII century; the ideals, which along with the French language and gallant culture, spreads across Europe and comes to Russia.

The object of this research is the anthroponymycon of the regional artifacts of business writing style of the second half of the XVII century. The subject is the model of nomination of persons belonging to the peasant class that played a significant role in the formation of permanent population of this territory. The article employs the unpublished manuscripts of business content, preserved in the Russian &nbsp;State Archive of Ancient Acts (Moscow). Application of the traditional onomastics research methods alongside modeling techniques, the author conducts the analysis of structural peculiarities of anthroponymyc models of nomination of peasants; determines the place and role of additional identifiers of a person (names of persons by the degree of kinship, profession, and initial place of residence). The acquired results demonstrate that the absence of the single legal norm in documental writing style led to variations in the use of anthroponymyc structures for nomination of the same person, and the use of additional identifiers &ndash;&nbsp; to creation of the more complex descriptive structures. It is established that the last component for nomination of a person in any model could include bynames and family names of peremptory origin, passed from father to son, which reflects the initial stage of the formation of last names on the periphery of the Moscow State. The scientific novelty consists in introduction into the scientific discourse of unpublished sources and anthroponymyc records into, which allows broadening the knowledge on the composition of the socially limited regional anthroponymycon of the XVII century.

Creativity of Ivan Vyshensky is one of the outstanding ideological and artistic phenomena of the end of XVI - beginning of XVII century. Closely linked to the events of the time, she witnessed the arrival in the Ukrainian spiritual culture of the artist, who put all her talent in defense of Ukrainian Orthodoxy. Although, to be more specific, Ivan Vyshensky's person would be more right to recognize the apologist of the foundations of ancient Ukrainian Orthodoxy, whose spokesmen strongly opposed the measures connected with the preparation, proclamation and implementation of the Orthodox-Catholic Union in the territory of the Commonwealth. The problem, it is known, turned out to be so significant and complex that it divided the Ukrainian ethnic group at the time of its active national self-awareness into two denominationally opposing camps. In such circumstances, the "Russian faith" and the Orthodox Church as a whole became the subject of special affection, the most touching place, its national banner and slogan, "or, as A. Richinsky noted, signs of nationality. It is understandable that dignitaries, including church and religious ones, also had denominators of Orthodox Catholic unification. Therefore, the attempt to objectify the view of the need for church-religious union within the framework of the Commonwealth, as well as to improve the understanding of those initial principles, which were guided by Ivan Vyshensky, requires an expansion and deepening of thematic expositions. In this sense, the task of the proposed article we would like to reduce to a brief analysis of the polemical works of anti-union content of the late XVI - early XVII centuries, that is, the time when Ivan Vyshensky lived and created, and which in one way or another will help them to comprehend their congruence or contradiction artist's credo.

Phonetic Features

The Polish language actively penetrated the lives of Ukrainians, particularly in office work in the XVI and especially in the XVII century. The subject of our study were Polonisms found in the identification of men in the Zhytomyr region in the XVI–XVII centuries. Among foreign names, more than 6% are in the naming of representatives of the top and less than 1% – of the lower social strata, some are borrowed from the Polish language: Kryshtof, Sebestian, Fry(d)ry(ch) and others. Occasionally the same person, primarily a nobleman, is identified by the Ukrainian name and its Polish counterpart: Fedor / Teodor, Semen / Shymon. Attention is paid to Polish phonetic features in the analyzed surnames: incomplete vowel forms: Zablo(ts)ky(y), Kga(v)ro(n)sky(y); preservation of the Proto-Slavic suffix *dl: Motovy(d)lo; Proto-Slavic nasal reflexes: Do(m)bro(v)sky(y), Kgole(m)be(v)sky(y), Szczęsny. Variable use of such anthroponyms with their Ukrainian equivalents is proved: Kgroho(v)sky(y) / Kgoroho(v)sky(y), Ve(n)kgry(n) / Uhryn.

Western Historiography

Abstract This article reviews attempts to define histories of world literature during the late 19th and first half of the 20th century. It submits that “World Literature” and national philology are two sides of the same coin, in that they serve to produce specific national identities and legitimize colonial hegemonic practices. Astonishingly, some patterns of these early histories of world literature can still be observed in contemporary theoretical debates on the subject. Thus, it is argued that, rather than dismissing this heritage of Western historiography (with or without condemnation), we should strive seriously to come up with alternative histories, wherein “West” is no longer treated as synonymous with “world,” and vice versa. The West should be seen as just one form of society and culture among the many others, all of which are due consideration when invoking the term “world.”
