МАНАСТИР МРКШИНА ЦРКВА ПОСЛЕДЊА СТАРА СРПСКА ШТАМПАРИЈA
МАНАСТИР МРКШИНА ЦРКВА ПОСЛЕДЊА СТАРА СРПСКА ШТАМПАРИЈA
The last old Serbian printing works operated in the Mrkšina Crkva monastery. Hieromonk Mardarije, one of the best known Serbian printers, prepared for press two books there: the Gospel in 1562 and the Pentecostarion in 1566. Very few topics in Serbian historiography were for such a long time in the focus of the professional public as it was the case with the search for the location of the Mrkšina Crkva monastery. The only thing known about the monastery was that it had been located under Crna Gora mountain and dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord. Since 1858 to date, numerous researchers have associated the monastery with Užička Crna Gora, proposing several locations in Kosjerić and the environs, where two futile archaeological excavations were carried out. Once, the immediate environs of Valjevo were connected with Crna Gora. The Mrkšinac monastery in the Pambukovica village in Tamnava of Valjevo was also stated as a possible location, in analogy with the feast to which the monastery was dedicated – the Ascension of the Lord. Based on Ottoman sources, it was established that the Mrkšina Crkva monastery had not existed in the environs of Kosjerić. On the other hand, the Mrkšina Crkva village was found in the Vlach census of the Valjevo nahiye from 1528. The analysis of sources has shown that the village was created or restored after the conquest of Belgrade and Šabac in 1521 and that it was located in Parlog, in the area of today’s village of Pambukovica. After the abolition of the Vlach status, in the early 1530s, the Mrkšina Crkva village was joined to the neighbouring, larger village of Donja Bukovica. With the subsequent addition of the hamlet of Paun, the village was given another name – Paunova Bukovica (Pambukovica). In this village, in the late 1530s or early 1540s, the church built by Mrkša was transformed into the Mrkšina Crkva monastery and was mentioned under that name in later Ottoman censuses. The Mrkšina Crkva monastery later changed its name and in 1741 was entered in its shorter form of Mrkšinac, which it still carries. It has also been determined in the paper that Crna Gora was the old name of Vlašić mountain and its eastern slopes, in whose foothills the Mrkšinac monastery and the Pambukovica village are located.
Македонско питање у Британском парламенту 1903-1908
Македонско питање у Британском парламенту 1903-1908
Мacedonian issue represented the integral segment of the wider Balkan and Eastern issue, since the end of the Congress of Berlin, until 1895-96. Afterwards, it got reformulated as a particular one. It encircled the set of internal problems, occurred in the central parts of the European Turkey, i.e. diplomatic activity of the Balkan states and Great Powers (above all, Austro-Hungary and Russia), aiming at resolving the national issue as well as the territorial and political status of this area. Their strivings culminated in May 1897, upon the secret agreement in St. Petersburg, aimed at preserving the status quo and peace on the Balkans. Relatively peaceful times in Macedonia followed, that lasted, more or less successfully, until spring 1902, when violence emerged again. Riots culminated by the so-called August Uprising in 1903, that befell firstly the territory of the vilayet of Bitolj, but also partly those of Thessaloniki and Kosovo. Although uprising in Macedonia has drawn attention of the European public, it echoed most strongly in the official Great Britain politics and public. Majority of the Englishmen followed with symphaties the Christian struggle against the Turkish rule. The British parliament has shown interest in Macedonian issue as well, with more than 80 conversations on Macedonia taking place from 1903 to 1908. It was mostly in form of discussions or representatives' questions; in the Lower House on 74 sessions, and in the Upper House on 6. Members of the parliament and especially of the Upper House have, apart through discussions or representatives' questions, consecrated annually (exept in 1907), at least one extraordinary session to the Macedonian issue, while members of the Lower House have acted consequently, on separate sessions. Liberals have particularily got engaged in solving the Macedonian issue, followed by representatives of conservative orientation. Representatives' questions regarding Macedonia, expressed before the British government representatives and Foreign Office, have dealt with various issues, from reform execution and acting in accordance to Mircteški agreement, installment of gendarmerie, effectuation of administrative and legal reforms, financial state and reforms concerning fiscal and financial politics, to more sensitive issues regarding rebel incursions from neighbouring countries, their activities on Macedonian territory, but also Turkish crimes against the local Christian population. Almost all the representatives who were engaged in these discussions have supported reforms that would improve the status of the Christians, prevent rebellion activities on the territories of the neighbouring Balkan countries, but also secure the preservation of the territorial integrity of the Turkish Empire.

Мери Дарам о Србима
The controversial and almost completely forgotten in her own country Englishwoman Mary Edith Durham, was a frequent visitor to the Balkans and was well versed in circumstances prevailing in it in the first two decades of the 20th century. This interesting scholar and travel writer wrote seven monographs about the Balkans and its inhabitants. She studied in particular detail the history and customs of Albanians and Serbs. And, while initially she was quite reserved towards the former, and exhibited respect for the latter, which she actually demonstrated in her first book, Through Serbian Lands, already in her next study, The Burden of the Balkans, she made a complete somersault, becoming an ardent champion of the Albanian cause and a harsh critic of Serbs. With time, her views acquired a pronounced anti-Serbian tone that she more or less maintained until the end of her life.

Based on data of contemporary byzantine and western sources, this work deals with reconstruction of basic recruitment principles of western mercenaries into Byzantine army during Comnenian epoch: direct recruitment via emissary, recruitment via local rulers, recruitment of passing-by crusades, recruitment of deserting enemy soldiers, recruitment of soldiers who came on their own iniative, and (hypothetically) recruitment of mercenaries via foreign traders and foreign cities. Direct recruitment of western mercenaries via emissary is attested several times during byzantine expeditions in Italy (1155-1157), during disturbances in Constantinople (1181, 1187), and in case of byzantine recruitment mission in Scandinavian Kingdoms (1195). Recruitment via local rulers is attested in case of recruitment via Baldwin III of Jerusalem Kingdom (1160), Konrad III of German Kingdom (1144/45), Robert I of Flanders (1089), with possibility that recruitments were made also via Henry II of England (during 1170s). Recruitment of passing-by crusades can be seen in case of crusaders from army of King Sigurd I of Norway (1122), Earl Ragnwald of Orkney (1151-53), armies of the First crusade (especialy after fall of Nicea) and of the Second crusade (esp. on route Nicea-Antioch). Recruitment of deserting enemy soldiers is esp. attested in many events concerning crash of Norman expeditions in Byzantium. Hypothetical recruitment via foreign traders and foreign cities can be assumed on ground of constant and vital economic and military bonds that Empire had during this epoch with italian maritime republics, Lombard cities and russian principalities. The work tries to show that western mercenaries predominantly were arriving in Byzantium as groups, but that were hired by Empire as individuals (examples from reigns of Alexius I and Mauel I). It also tries to imply routes by which latin mercenaries used on their way to Byzantium of the period - old russian way, route by german and hungarian lands (used by Sigurd I), route by westmediterranean coast (used by Ragnwald and Anglosaxons), route via Italy (used by many crusaders), routa via theAdriatic, etc. The work also includes some related questions like distribution of mercenaries in byzantine army, routes used by western mercenaries, inspection of mercenaries, etc.
Мисија Роберта Лојда-Линдзија у Србији 1876. године
Мисија Роберта Лојда-Линдзија у Србији 1876. године
At the time of the Serbian-Turkish war of 1876, Colonel Robert Loyd- Lindsay was sent to Belgrade on behalf of the ‘British National Society for Aid to the Sick and Wounded in War’, the British branch of the International Red Cross Society. Besides providing medical help to the Serbian soldiers, Loyd-Lindsay was sending information about the poor state of Serbia’s army to the British authorities, which were pursuing strongly pro-Turkish policy at that time. After his return, he was openly using knowledge gathered during his humanitarian mission in order to criticise Serbia and its ally Russia, and to support the policy of the British Government. Later on, he officially entered the state service as the Financial Secretary in the War Ministry. In that capacity, he actively worked on the preparations for the war against Russia and possibly, its ally Serbia. Thus, the case of the Colonel Robert Loyd-Lindsay’s mission in Serbia in 1876 demonstrates how, in the foreign policy of the Victorian Britain, the borders between “civil society” and the state could be easily crossed.

Мисија архимандрита Нићифора Дучића у Цариграду и на Светој Гори 1882. године
In September and October 1882 Archimandrite Niđifor Dučić visited Constantinople and Mount Athos. His mission involved more than one task. In Monastery Chilandar, he was to persuade the Bulgarian elders to hand over the government of the monastery to the Serbian monks, although their number was rather small. In Constantinople, he was to submit a request for the "consecrated oil", the ointment indispensable for the sacred anointing rite, which the Serbian Church obtained from the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Besides, Dučić carried a notification letter from the administrator of the Metropolitanate of Serbia to the Patriarch, informing him of the deposition of Metropolitan Mihailo. Ducic completed his mission successfully: he brought to Belgrade the "consecrated oil"; the delivery of the notification letter to the Patriarch did not cause a deterioration of the relations between the Serbian state and the Patriarchate; and he managed to persuade the Chilandar brethren, made tractable by the financial difficulties under which they laboured, to accept, in return for some financial support, an agreement according to which the government of the monastery was to be tranferred to an archimandrite sent from Serbia. The conflict between the Serbian Church and State prevented the realization of this agreement.

Митрополит Евстатије и успостављање српске црквене управе у Нишавској митрополији 1878.
Metropolitan Eustatius Dimitrakhiev, also known as Eustatius of Pelagonia, Zograf or Nisava, came from a merchant family in the Pazardzhik area. He was ordained in the Rila Monastery, and then spent some time in the Zograf monastery on the Holy Mountain. Within the structure of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, he advanced to the rank of an archimandrite. Supported by prominent Bulgarians, he gained solid theological education, studying at the Holy Theological School of Halki, then in Iashi, Kiev and Moscow. He also attended lectures in philosophy at the University of Berlin, and in medicine at the Sorbonne University in Paris. After his return, he founded a school and a hospital in the Zograf Monastery. In the period from 1872 to 1874 he was the first Pelagonian (Bitola) metropolitan of the Bulgarian exarchy. From 1874 to 1878, after the replacement of Partenius of Zograf, he was the metropolitan of Nishava, with a residence in the city of Pirot. In December 1877, he greeted the liberation of Pirot by the Serbian army, and soon after he established a relationship with the Serbian state and military authorities, as well as with Metropolitan Mihailo Jovanović. With them, however, he had huge misunderstandings regarding the ethnicity of the believers in his metropolis and loyalty to the Bulgarian exarchate. At the time when the negotiations on the establishment of new borders in the Balkans were in progress, he was actively working to ensure that the population of the Metropolis of Nishava declared to join the future Bulgarian state. The Serbian authorities sent him to Kruševac for some time, where he was greeted with all honours and had a good treatment all the time, but that was not his desire. At the insistence of the Russian military authorities in Bulgaria, he was returned to the Metropolis of Nishava. After the Berlin Congress, when the largest part of his metropolis went to the Principality of Serbia, he left Pirot to Sofia. He was a member of the Bulgarian Constitutional Assembly in 1879. From 1883, he was a metropolitan at the headquarters of the Bulgarian exarchy in Constantinople. From 1885 he administrated the Metropolis of Edirne. That same year he died. He was buried next to the Bulgarian church at Edirne.
Михаило Кабужић, дубровачки одметник - босански дипломата
Михаило Кабужић, дубровачки одметник - босански дипломата
The article covers the turbulent career of Mihailo Kabužić (Michael de Caboga), one of the few nobles of Dubrovnik who were convicted of betrayal of the Republic while being in the service of a foreign ruler or magnate. This paper is the first that gathers and reinterprets all known facts concering his political activity. As a descendant of an influential noble family, he could expect to participate in the government of his hometown but, instead of that, after getting heavily into debt, he entered the service of a mighty Bosnian magnate, great duke Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić. In the period between 1410 and 1416 he held many offices in Hrvoje’s structure of power – he was the count of Omiš, Brač, Hvar and Korčula, the governer of the strategically important fortress of Bistrica, the protovestiarius (the highest financial official). However, Kabužić earned his place in historical textbooks after he had, by the orders of his lord, gone to Turkey and, together with the Ottoman sultan, organized the attack of Turkish marcher wardens on Bosnia, in the spring of 1414. The attack aimed at relieving the pressure that Hrvoje’s territories were suffering from the Hungarian king and the rival magnates but, in fact, the Turks became a lasting factor in the region which led to the fall of the medieval Bosnian state in 1463. Hrvoje also intended to give away his house and estates in Dubrovnik to Kabužić, which prompted a swift reaction of the authorities of the Republic – the prohibition of involvement of domestic nobles in the matters of the estates which had been given to foreign kings or nobles. The feud concerning Hrvoje’s house, organization of Turkish assault and his activities against the interests of Dubrovnik in Central Dalmatia led to Kabužić’s fall out of favour of his hometown which he had already come to dislike.
