The Kiev Leaflets as Folia Glagolitica Zempliniensia by Martin Pukanec Pdf

This book searches for the origin of the Kiev Leaflets. In view of the original text of Prayer 20 in the Glagolitic manuscript, which is a prayer for protection from the Hungarians, the probable period in which the texts were written was defined as between the years 894 and 900. Therefore, as the book argues, this oldest of Slavic manuscripts does not originate from the Bulgarian-Macedonian linguistic environment. Rather, it has both West and South Slavic features and no dialect can better explain the manuscript’s individual accentological, phonological and morphological features than the Common Slavic dialect of the Eastern Obodrites in the Ung (Uzhhorod, Ukraine) Principality. This was the seat of the princely Bogat-Radvan family, who came from Moravia/Bohemia. This book is thus designed for teachers, students, and others interested in Slavic languages of all three subgroups, as well as those interested in history and literature of East-Central Europe.

Bogowie: A Study of Eastern Europe's Ancient Gods by T.D. Kokoszka Pdf

T.D. Kokoszka grew up in Texas with a Jewish mother and a Polish-American father. While he was aware of roots going back to Eastern Europe from both families, he found it hard to learn very much about them. He knew that Polish people would whack one another with palm leaves around Easter, and he knew that his great-grandmother purportedly believed in forest spirits known as borowy. However, it wasn't until he was in his teens that he became vaguely aware of an ancient people known as the Slavs who gave rise to the Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Slovakian, Slovene, and Czech languages. It quickly became clear to him that this was a family of cultures currently under-represented in popular culture, and even in western scholarship. Not simply a regurgitation of scholarship from the Soviet period - and presenting new analyses by using previously neglected resources - Bogowie: A Study of Eastern Europe's Ancient Gods offers one of the most painstaking scholarly reconstructions of Slavic paganism. These new resources include not only an overview of folklore from many different Slavic countries but also comparisons with Ossetian culture and Mordvin culture, as well as a series of Slavic folktales that Kokoszka analyzes in depth, often making the case that the narratives involved are mythological and shockingly ancient. Readers will recognize many European folktale types and possibly learn to look at these folktales differently after reading this book.

The Making of Christian Moravia (858-882) by Maddalena Betti Pdf

In The Making of Christian Moravia Maddalena Betti examines the creation of the Moravian archdiocese, of which St Methodius was the first incumbent, in the context of ninth-century papal policy in central and south-eastern Europe. In the nineteenth and twentieth century religious and nationalistic concerns widely influenced the reconstruction of the history of the archdiocese of Methodius. Offering a new reading of already widely-used sources, both Slavonic and Latin, Maddalena Betti turns attention upon the jurisdictional conflict between Rome, the Bavarian churches and Byzantium, in order to uncover the strategies and the languages adopted by the Apostolic See to gain jurisdiction over the new territories in central and south-eastern Europe.
