La storia di una città passa anche attraverso la storia delle Sue Istituzioni, pubbliche e private, e di quanti si sono succeduti alla sua guida.
È questa la valenza del mio studio che Vi invito a leggere.
Il volume descrive le tre massime Compagnie, nate intorno a1 1500, e nella fattispecie le Compagnie della Carità, della Pace e dei Bianchi, alcune talora vigenti, e con tale descrizione, il lettore, si troverà proiettato all’interno della Palermo antica, quindi della storia di Palermo e la nostra storia.
Dalla lettura dello studio, sono riproposti i motivi della loro fondazione, gli scopi, l’utilità pubblica dell’Istituzione stessa, si pensi alla Compagnia della Pace, quella che io definisco, naturalmente,
l’antenata della moderna struttura del Giudice di Pace ma con purtroppo le storture dei tempi moderni; nella narrazione si evidenziano e si delineano i poteri e le forze in campo sul territorio, un territorio in cui si affiancano e si sovrappongono la vita istituzionale e la vita dei cittadini in centinaia e centinaia di anni.
Dalla documentazione raccolta emerge, chiaramente articolata, una mappa di amministratori, ufficiali, funzionari, sicura espressione dello spazio politico e sociale della città, che permette, quindi, di definire l’ampio perimetro dell’area del potere cittadino, ed in fondo, della vita stessa della città, una città ricca di storia e di cultura, interessante, intrigante, misteriosa malgrado sia illuminata da un sole spesso accecante. 
Palermo e una città sempre tesa, nel rispetto e nel riconoscimento della propria storia, ad affermare la giusta identità, talvolta ottusamente offuscata e confusa.
Vi lascio, con queste poche parole, alla lettura di questo libro che non può e non deve mancare nella libreria di una persona colta che ha a cuore la storia della Sua città e non solo.

Boardgame con mappe e pedine. Fantascienza.
Dopo la caduta del muro di Berlino nel 1989, in Italia, in
maniera strisciante, si venne a formare una classe politica
protesa verso la difesa di una “casta” dai valori morali
decadenti. Nonostante alcuni tentativi democratici di
ristabilire l’ordine e la disciplina, col passare degli anni
verso il 2030 si venne a stabilire nella Penisola un ordinamento
politico assai discutibile. La privatizzazione dei
servizi pubblici (acqua, elettricità, sanità, trasporti, previdenza
sociale, istruzione, sicurezza) e la crescita interna
del malcontento portò la Repubblica alla soglia di una
guerra civile, che vide il formarsi di forze di regime contrapposte
a delle vere e proprie formazioni paramilitari,
che presero il nome di Corporazioni.
La presente simulazione militare prende spunto da quegli
avvenimenti per creare un boardgame che soltanto a
prima vista sembra ricreare avvenimenti ucronici, anacronistici
e di fantasia.

Documentary film practice inflects and is in turn also inflected by the theories and practices around the study of the archive. Documenting the Archive will be a forum for theoretical and methodological interventions in cinema and media studies by invoking the archive’s historical and theoretical relationship with cinema, especially documentary film practice. This conference pushes the boundaries of cinema and media studies to ask what domains of critical inquiry, forms of experience, and historiographic methodologies emerge by examining the multifarious relations between documentary and archives.

Wenn man nach Weltreisenden fragt, fällt einem unter anderem Marco Polo ein. Das hat seinen Grund: Marco Polo ist bekannt für seine Reisen und seine Abenteuerlust, er ist der erste Europäer, der so viele Meilen zurückgelegt und fremde Kulturen, wie zum Beispiel China, bereist und Schriften darüber verfasst hat. Doch vergleicht man Marco Polo mit Ibn Battuta, so sieht man, dass dieser weitaus mehr Orte bereiste als Marco Polo.

In Rig veda, Indra is treated much like a celebrity sportsperson of today.

This original translation from Sanskrit, of Hymn 3.45 of Rigveda, just as my other translations, demonstrates how lucid and lively the hymns of Rigveda are, in contrast to the almost abstract work of all previous translators.

Neben den auf sich genommenen Kämpfen gegen die Kumanen wandte sich die Aufmerksamkeit des Deutschen Ordens in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 13. Jahrhunderts in erster Linie der Levanteregion zu. In diese Konzeption fügte sich auch die Frage der Besitztümer im Burzenland, und es ist auch kein Zufall, daß der Hochmeister Hermann von Salza gleich
nach seinem Amtsantritt (1209) die Besitzungen des Deutschen Ordens an den Anmarschwegen der Kreuzzüge nacheinander besichtigte, und im Zuge dessen, im April 1212 der Orden auch weitere Schenkungen erhielt von Leon II., König von Kilikien, der als Halbbruder (confrater) selbst in den Deutschen Orden eintrat.4 In dem zweiten Jahrzehnt des 13. Jahrhunderts hat der Orden mit einer planmäßigen Besitzerweiterung im Heiligen Land angefangen.

Guerrillero, bandolero, pastor, caudillo de la libertad hispana, soberano céltico cuasi divino, prototipo de nobleza bárbara... la figura de Viriato ha tenido muchas y muy diversas interpretaciones, ya desde la antigüedad clásica.  Aunque durante mucho tiempo se daba por hecho su nacimiento en la Sierra de la Estrella, en el actual norte portugués, y su origen humilde, algunos autores como García Moreno o Pérez Villatela le hacen oriundo de la zona meridional de la Lusitania, en la frontera de la Beturia céltica. Como caudillo de un ejército que llevó la guerra a gran parte de la Provincia Ulterior romana y con expediciones también a la Citerior, infringirá a sus legiones algunas de las más humillantes derrotas de su historia, y llegará a controlar la mayor parte del mediodía peninsular.

This book analyses how authoritarian rulers of Southeast Asian countries maintain their durability in office, and, in this context, explains why some movements of civil society organizations succeed while others fail to achieve their demands. It discusses the relationship between the state-society-business in the political survival context. As the first comparative analysis of strategies of regime survival across Southeast Asia, this book also provides an in-depth insight into the various opposition movements, and the behaviour of antagonistic civic and political actors in the region.

Manuscripts from the Tulczyn Library in the archives of the Kraków Learned Society: provenance studies on a scattered collection
In 1862, the Kraków Learned Society received a valuable gift from Michał Konarski from Odessa, which included manuscripts from the famous Tulczyn Library of the Potocki famili. However, information abaut the collection and the possibility of identifying manuscript items were lost alredy in the early 20 th century, after item numbers were changed and individual manuscripts scattered, and Jan Czubek failed to include provenience data in the PAAS catalogue of manuscripts. The aim of my work was firstly to verify Bogumiła Schnaydrowa's findings from 1969 and to fully identyfy the 130 volumens of manuscripts from Tulczyn in the present collection of manuscripts of the Scientific Library of the PAAS and the PAS in Kraków, witch was conducted on the basis of the list drawn up by Count Piotr Moszyński (edited in this article), stamps and provenience notes.

1. Approaching you, we call upon you o Dawn, of red appearance, be produced in the east, in between darkness and the brightness of the Sun. This composition by the human beings of this habitation that have come together to sing to the red, moving mother. 2. Fall down over us o red one, of the Sun, cover now those sacrificing jointly to you o Dawn, singing together. Destroy the deamons, as you did when urged on earlier. Be furious, red like the Sun, we seek your protection. 3. We pray to the lady in the three sacred languages, turn by turn, as a team, sounding loudly. Promote us, o good doer, o good donor, bestow upon the tribe, delighting with gifts for the sake of the pressing out by the host. 4. Like the breast uncovered by the dancer as she discards her decorative garments, you are the nipple of the morning light. Light up this world, hear the song of the people, spread over our settlement o Dawn. 5. Shine upon the injurers, let us see them, stay and drive away the evil monsters. With this skillful, decorated ceremony, we have approached the beautiful, divine daughter of the Sun. 6. Destroy fully the darkness, master it completely o lady, light up as you move, do hear us. We worship with this pleasing speech, o beautiful Dawn, we wish to obtain your favours through this song.

L'appellation "à la provençale" désigne des apprêts directement issus ou inspirés de la Provence, dans lesquels dominent l'huile d'olive, l'ail et la tomate. Ces ingrédients n'ont toutefois pas toujours caractérisés la cuisine du sud de la France. Cet article montre ainsi comment l'appellation "à la provençale" a contribué à la construction historique d'une identité culinaire de la Provence. / The appellation "à la provençale" means primers directly derived from or inspired by Provence, dominated by olive oil, garlic and tomato. These ingredients, however, have not always characterized the cuisine of southern France. This article shows how the appellation "à la provençale" has contributed to the historical construction of a culinary identity of Provence.

Duas repúblicas distantes que a História aproximou. É deste modo que se poderão resumir as extraordinárias sincronias entre os primórdios e desenvolvimentos, mas também os ocasos, dos projetos republicanos de Portugal e da China. Pequenas potências agrilhoadas a interesses tutelares exógenos, procuraram na emancipação identitária a legitimação e consolidação dos seus programas políticos – internos e externos.

Due to the increasing number of national security agencies’ operations nowadays, exploration of previous (e.g. Cold War) operations have been becaming more important in general. Among CIA all operations the 1950’s operations have a clear advantage for the research because of publishing the related formerly secret ducuments in 2017 summer, in the lights of which the traditional explanations of the CIA’s coup d’état in Iran can be re-evaluated. This paper examines the TPAJAX codenamed and directed against the iranian prime minister Muhamed Mosadek operation in two parts. As the result of the examination I claim a new explanation of the 1953 iranian events based on the new documents. As long as this first part of the paper shows the events and a traditional explanation based on the interest in oil; the second part will concern another traditional explanation based on the communist threat and a new, hybrid explanation; and finally the third part will deal with the arguments which streghten the hybrid explanation.

A manapság felélénkülő nemzetbiztonsági szolgálai tevékenység miatt általában véve felértékelődött a korábbi korszakok, elsősorban a hidegháborús, nemzetbiztonsági műveletek kutatása. A CIA műveletein belül a CIA 1950-es évekbeli iráni műveleteire jobb rálátást biztosít a 2017 nyarán nyilvánosságra hozott dokumentumok, amelyeknek fényében a korábban megalkotott magyarázatok kiegészítést, átgondolást igényelnek. A tanulmány két részben mutatja be és vizsgálja meg a CIA 1953-as, Mohammed Moszadek iráni miniszterelnök ellen irányuló, TPAJAX névre elkeresztelt műveletének (más néven az 1953-as iráni puccsnak a) magyarázatait. A vizsgálat eredménye az az 1953-as iráni eseményeknek egy, az új forrásokra is támaszkodó magyarázata. A tanulmánynak ez az első része az iráni puccs eseményeit és az olajérdekeltségekre építő magyarázatát mutatja be, a második rész a kommunista fenyegetésre építő magyarázat bemutatását követően egy új, hibrid magyarázat megfogalmazására koncentrál, végül a tanulmány lezáró, harmadik része az új, hibrid magyarázatot alátámasztó érveket mutatja be.

A modem village of Arbanasi (archaic Greek Αλβανιτοχώρι) is in the central part of Northern Bulgaria, in 4 km to the northwest from the city of Veliko Tarnovo. It is one of the 10 settlements in the Bulgarian territory which had akin names - Arbanasi, Amaud, Amautkoy (1). As the name of the village suggests, it is connected with the presence of the ethnic Albanians in it. The problem of origin and early history of Arbanasi more than once was an object of historic research. Despite this there is still no consensus. Some researchers assume that the village arose with the resettlement of the Albanians, Greeks, Walachs or Bulgarians from the Epirus region. As a result of specific features of the population ethnic structure and contacts with Northern Greece at the level of institutions, as well as at the social level, communication was in Greek. The writing system created by residents of Arbanasi was only in Greek.
