AB  - This paper analyses the evolution of the veneration of the Serbian
King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (1282–1321) with regards to the translation
of his relics to Sofia (before 1469). Besides providing an analysis
of the specific manifestations of his cult in Sofia, the aim of the paper is
to demonstrate the polyphony of the memories of saints as an important
characteristic of their veneration. As in this case, this dynamic of the saint’s
veneration is often caused by wider social and political changes, thus signalling
its “social logic.”
AB  - Рад је посвећен анализи развитка прослављања српског краља Стефана 
Уроша II Милутина (1282–1321), посебно у вези са преносом његових моштију у Софију (пре 1469. године). Прва етапа прослављања обележена је 
Опширним житијем, у којем је архиепископ Данило II представио краља 
Милутина као непобедивог витеза, градитеља цркава и заштитника праве вере. У последњој четвртини 14. века патријарх Данило III саставио је 
Службу и Синаксарско житије и ставио у први план краљеву побожност, 
оличену пре свега у ктиторској делатности, и тражио спасење од „Агарена“.

Упоређени су развој штовања, време измена и прилагођавања светачког лика, као и назнаке о ширењу култа изван манастира с подацима о положају Шишатовца, ширењу манастирских поседа и односу с локалним властима. Налази су показали да је подстицање прослављања Стефана Штиљановића било у вези с економским напредовањем, односно да му је у више случајева претходило и да га је следило. Тиме се прослављање светих

AB  - The paper explores the link between the cult of a saint and the economy of the church safekeeping their relics by analysing the veneration of Stefan Štiljanović and the economy of the Šišatovac monastery. The chosen timeframe is the period of Ottoman rule in Srem because the monastery had to adapt to a very different social and economic system. In the matter of cult, we focused on its evolution, the shaping of the saint’s image, its modifications, alterations and transmission beyond the Šišatovac monastery. We used notes in liturgical books, inscriptions on liturgical and other objects, cultic texts, the manuscript tradition, archaeographic analysis of manuscripts, and visual representations. Our research of the monastic economy took into account the legal status of 
the Šišatovac monastery and its monks in the Ottoman Empire; the ways of disposing of monastic estates, their expansion and taxes paid on them; and particularly the relationship of the fraternity with the local authorities. The extensive Ottoman documentation preserved in the monastery’s archive – different court decisions, receipts, orders, complaints, and excerpts from revenue surveys – has provided insight into these issues. Our research has uncovered a very active and enterprising climate in the monastery’s life in the period under discussion. Stefan Štiljanović was included among the saints in the mid-16th century, and already in the following decades, the monastery’s tax duties and land estates increased. After the problems caused by the “sale of monasteries” (seventh decade of the 17th century), his proper cult was created between the last decades of the 16th and the first quarter of the 17th century. At the beginning of the fourth decade of the 17th century, the cult came under the care of Metropolitan of Belgrade and Srem Avesalom and Patriarch of Peć Pajsej, in whose time the remembrance of St. Stefan became polyphonic. Besides the writing of cultic texts, several buildings inside the monastery were restored (fifth decade of the 17th century), and Šišatovac further increased its estates and intensified relations with the local authorities. In the sixth decade of the 17th century, the cult reached the Hopovo monastery, and soon Patriarch Maksim and Metropolitan of Belgrade Pajsej visited the Šišatovac monastery (1666 and 1680). In the second half of the 17th century, the cult was further consolidated at Šišatovac based on the existing celebratory texts, while the relations with the local authorities reveal a good understanding of the legal system and a remarkably resourceful approach to managing the monastic economy. All of this shows that the cult served an important function beyond the spiritual sphere and that the peculiarities of cultural and social life within the framework determined by the Ottoman state influenced its evolution. More specifically, the veneration of St. Stefan Štiljanović seems to have been linked to the survival of the Šišatovac monastery because it attracted pilgrims. Thus, on several occasions, the fostering of the cult preceded the monastery’s economic rise; there is no evidence of working on the cult during the economic crisis, but every subsequent encouragement of veneration was accompanied with an economic upturn, which, in turn, strengthened the cult. It seems that, in the period of Ottoman rule, the veneration of this saint remained confined to Fruška Gora. That was the fate of many cults in Orthodox churches, which 
seldom spread beyond their immediate surroundings.

Revival of Early Christian Model of Martyrdom in the Ottoman Central Balkans

AB  - This paper analyses the cultic texts for St George of Kratovo, a martyr who died in Sofia in 1515. The hagiography of George of Kratovo differed from those of other martyrs that suffered during the Ottoman conquests of the Central Balkans by mirroring the evangelical model and the martyrial tradition of Asia Minor (possibly also the Martyrdom of Polycarp). This shows that different models of martyrdom co-existed throughout the centuries and that they could influence new experiences of holiness in the process of premediation. The evangelical model was revived because of the specific social and political circumstances, thus again demonstrating that nurturing the memories of saints was a dynamic process, closely connected to present realities of life, which were reflected and given meaning in cultic texts.

Култови светих на централном Балкану у време османских освајања

AB  - The subject of this book is the veneration of saints in the central Balkans between the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 and the Battle of Mohacs in 1526. During that period the Ottomans fought against the former Balkan powers and eventually established direct rule in the Peninsula. The experience of these changes – the collapse of political power in particular – had an impact on social and religious life and, consequently, on the veneration of saints. 
The focus of research is the role of the celebration of saints in political and social life, in other words, the shaping of social reality, the fortifying of collective identity, the affirmation of the official social order, the legitimation of power etc. through the veneration of saints. The terms veneration and celebration are used here for any form of commemoration regardless of the context in which it takes place – whether within or without the Church. This does not mean abandoning the term cult – it denotes liturgical commemoration based on the saint’s office and synaxarial vita. 
Veneration of saints brings society together by acting as a framework in which the past and the shared experiences are interpreted and in which this interpretation comes to be linked with the present and the future. Therefore, saints and veneration of saints constitute the “key concept”. The space of experience of the key concept is constituted of the memory of all earlier accomplishments, purviews, and personal and collective perceptions of sanctity which are simultaneously present in the mind of the individual. In the periods marked by the temporalization of key concepts, the space of experience ceases to be the basis for shaping the horizon of expectation. This was exactly the case in the period covered by this book.
At the same time, the celebration of individual saints is the periodical renewal of the memory of their life and miracles (if they performed miracles). The memory of saints operates within memory as a fundamental religious endeavour. Liturgy combines an act of thanksgiving (eucharist) and an act of commemoration (anamnesis) of God’s acts in the life and death of Jesus Christ. The Son of God intercedes with the Father for the faithful and thus partakes in the life of the Church through the Holy Spirit. Saints are commemorated in liturgy in a similar way. Remembrance of their life “invokes” their presence in the Church, and in response they intercede with God for the faithful.
Since the commemoration of a saint in the Church is the place of encounter of all clergy and laity, it assumed different meanings for different communities: aristocratic, urban and rural. These communities transformed the liturgical memory of saints into various forms of memory: aristocratic, historical and oral. In practice, of course, there were no clear boundaries between them. And yet, their existence shows that the memory of a saint was polyphonic. Polyphony could mean a peaceful coexistence of different versions as well their rivalry. The overwhelmingly dominant bearer of the memory of saints in the middle ages was the Church. But it did not suppress other memories: it supported some of them, such as those cultivated under the auspices of rulers.

AB  - The paper discusses the character of the translations of saints’ relics in the late medieval central Balkans, as they increasingly gained prominence as an encouragement to the veneration of saints. The fact that translations grew much more frequent provides the opportunity to analyse the motivations behind this practice, the ways in which relics were acquired, the types of translation processions and their symbolic significance. The relic translations in the central Balkans in the period under study fitted the Christian translation pattern in every respect and stood halfway between history and cult and, frequently, between politics and cult.

AB  - Култови светих односно слављење њихових успомена представља једну од најважнијих појава хришћанства јер верницима омогућава стални додир са облашћу светог. Па ипак, пошто сваки свети живи у једном историјском тренутку и на одређеном простору, сећање на његов узоран и примеран живот обухвата безвремене идеале, савремене светоназоре и услове културног, друштвеног и политичког живота. За узврат, та слика о светом даје смисао разноликим животним реалностима. Када се истражују култови светих у периодима обележеним политичким и другим преображајима, попут оног на Балкану од последње деценије XIV века до прве трећине XVI века, веза са друштвеном стварношћу је још снажнија.На темељу те „друштвене логике“ прослављања светих обликован је особен приступ у овој дисертацији. На првом месту, стварање сваког култа је изучавано као процес који је мање или више био условљен савременим збивањима. Стога је у првом плану анализа тога како се актуелни догађаји и друштвене околности одсликавају у процесу настанка али и у садржају култа, да би уследило тумачење функција прослављања новог светитеља.Званично установљен култ у цркви назван је литургијским сећањем. Оно је примарни фокус истраживања и укључује најразнородније изворе: од материјалних и ликовних споменика, записа на богослужбеним књигама, до дела која су била саставни део литургије: служби, житија, параклиса и др. Једном уобличено „канонско“ сећање могло је бити преобликовано, те су разлози за разна прилагођавања тражени у измењеним потребама заједнице која је прослављала светог.На темељима литургијског одржавала су се и друга, за цркву мање везана, сећања на свете. Ту је контекст у којем их треба сагледати нешто сложенији, јер предуслове чинова присећања представљају како савремена збивања тако илитургијска меморија. Према стању сачуваних извора могу се издвојити феудална и историографска сећања на свете. Феудално сећање представља средњовековни облик породичне комеморације са политичком функцијом која је забележена у повељама, здањима попут загробних цркава и ликовним представама. Када су свети били део феудалних династија тада је породично сећање, захваљујући преплитању са литургијским, добијало снажне темеље и основ за дуготрајно одржавање.Историографско сећање је сачувано захваљујући растућој потреби за памћењем прошлих догађаја која је у овом периоду водила настанку неколицине историографских врста. Због особеног развоја средњовековне српске државе, у којој су владари неретко постајали светитељи, сећање на њих као и на друге свете чланове династије имало је значајно место у новим текстовима. Историографску меморију издваја то што је најмање везана за црквене оквире те некад доноси податке о штовању личности које није било подстицано од стране црквеног врха. На крају, нема сумње да је још доста видова сећања постојало али, попут усменог, нису оставили трага.Таквим приступом се истиче да је одржавање успомене на светог било сложена појава унутар које се може издвојити онолико врста сећања колико је постојало замишљених заједница: од црквене, преко породичне, градске и других. Наравно, најважније место има култ, односно литургијско сећање, али не треба заборавити да су садржаји и функције комеморација могли бити различити у зависности од њихових околности. Та полифонија представља једну од одлика светитељске меморије која је често пренебрегнута али врло корисна за разумевање друштава у којем је постојала.Поред тог начелног доприноса, циљ је био донети приказ појединачних култова и њиховог развоја. Додатно, та анализа је основ за доношење закључака о томе које су личности и у којим условима стицале светитељски статус и који је тип светости обележио епоху. Тако ће једна вишеслојна појава, каква су култови светих, бити приказана у, историчару својственом, временском и просторном контексту.
AB  - The cult of saints or the celebration of saints' memories represent one of the most important phenomena in Christianity because with them believers encounter the realm of the holy. Yet, since every saint lives in a particular moment and in a certain space, the memory of his exemplary and ideal life encompasses universal and timeless ideals, contemporary worldviews and the conditions of cultural, social and political life. In return, this representation of the saint gives meaning to the diverse realities of life. When researching cults in periods marked by political and other transformations, such as those in the Balkans from the last decade of the 14th century to the first third of the 16th century, the connection to social reality is even more meaningful.Based on this social logic of the celebration of saints, this dissertation applies a special approach to their study. In the first place, the creation of each cult is examined as a process more or less shaped by modern events. Therefore, the first objective is to analyse how the realities of life are reflected in this process and in the content of the cult, followed by an interpretation of the functions of the celebration of the new saint in the community.The officially established cult of the saint in the church is called liturgical memory. It is the primary focus of the research and includes the highly diverse sources: from material and artistic representations and records on the liturgical books, to the literary works that were integral part of the liturgy: various forms of services, hagiographies etc. Once established this "canonical" memory could be transformed, and the reasons for the modifications were sought in the changing needs of the community that nourished the cult.Liturgical commemoration also served as the basis for maintaining other memories of the saints, less connected to the church. The context in which they need to be looked at is somewhat more complex because the prerequisites of commemorative acts are contemporary events and already formed liturgical memory. The state of preserved sources allows only for the feudal and historiographical memories of the saints to be singled out. Feudal memory is a medieval form of family commemoration with a politicalfunction; it is recorded in charters, mausoleums and various forms of artistic representations. When the saints were members of feudal dynasties family memories became interwoven with liturgical, thus receiving strong foundations and basis for long-term maintenance.Historiographical memory was preserved thanks to the growing need to remember past events that led to the emergence of several historiographical genres. Due to the specific development of the medieval Serbian state, in which rulers often became saints, remembering them as well as other members of the holy dynasty had a significant place in the new texts. Historiographical memory is distinct because it is least related to the church, hence it sometimes gives information about cults that were not encouraged by church authorities. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that there existed many more saints’ memories, but, like oral memories, they have not left traces.Such an approach to research emphasises that keeping the memory of the saint was a complex phenomenon within which there can be as many kinds of memories as there were imagined communities: from the church to the family, the town and others. Of course, the most important place is occupied by the cult or liturgical memory, but it should be remembered that the contents and functions of commemorations could be different depending on the circumstances. This polyphony is one of the hallmarks of the memory of saints that is often overlooked but very useful for understanding the societies in which it existed.In addition to this principal contribution, the aim of the research was to present individual cults and their development. Furthermore, this analysis will be the basis for drawing conclusions about which individuals acquired the status of saint and under which conditions. Also, the intention was to try to find the type of sanctity that marked the epoch. Thus, a multifaceted phenomenon, such as the cults of the saints, will be shown in its historically specific temporal and spatial context.

AB  - Abstract: The paper explores the ways in which medieval Serbian rulers used various forms of genealogical representations in order to demonstrate their political status or ambition. It is striking that in all of them, ranging from the diverse lineages, painted genealogies, written monastic and lay genealogies, the rulers were unavoidably depicted as the heirs to the first dynastic saints. In the first three cases they are descended from Saint Simeon, either in company or without his son Saint Sava, whereas in the latter they are the successors of the holy Emperor Constantine the Great. Hence, genealogies embody the medieval epistemology of origins, understood as the source of value and political right.

AB  - Summary: Medieval genealogies were written with the intention to present а specific family’s or person’s origin. They illustrate the need to legitimize their hold on power or the aim to acquire it, and to demonstrate that the achieved or desired authority is legal. This paper explores the use of genealogies in the political life of late medieval Serbian lands. The case in question is that of the wife of prince Lazar, Milica, who is presented as a descendant of prince Vukan, the eldest son of the Serbian ruler-­saint, Stefan Nemanja. The analysis is conducted by comparing all of the sources that refer to Milica’s ancestry. The research shows that the available information can be divided into two groups: one where unspecified kinship with the Nemanjić dynasty is mentioned and the other where the Vukan-­Milica lineage is clearly stated. Various sources, ranging from stemma­chronicles, liturgical texts and one charter issued by Milica’s son, despot Stefan Lazarević, belong to the first group. Moreover, all of them were written during the life of the princess, or very shortly after her death. The first genealogy that notes the Vukan-­Milica lineage is found in the Life of despot Stefan Lazarević, written by Constantine of Kostenets at the time of despot Stefan’s nephew and successor Đurađ Branković. This political and unconventional hagiography is marked by rewriting and reinterpretation of certain parts of the despot’s life. With this questionable approach to the past, the author presents a genealogy of despot Stefan. Emperor Constantine the Great becomes an ancestor of the Nemanjić dynasty and, through the Vukan-Milica lineage, of the despot himself. This falsified genealogy belongs to the type of lay genealogies, characterized by ideological attitudes and loose attachment to the historical truth. Even though the main branch of the Nemanjićs is presented correctly, it is not possible to accept the lineage in question without confirmation from other sources. Yet, the other sources do not repeat it. Afterward, the lineage is often distorted and the aim to unite all the prominent figures of medieval times in a single family tree is quite noticeable. Consequently, genealogies become filled with further fabrications. Later on, they are interpolated in other historiographical genres, one stemma­-chronicle from the 16th and chronicles from the 16th and 17th century. Иn the end, although the Vukan­-Milica lineage cannot be accepted from the methodological point of view, with the current state of the sources it is not possible to offer an alternative version of family relations between the princess and the Nemanjić dynasty. It could be argued that the success of the one we find in the Life of despot Stefan lies in the absence of living protagonists of the genealogy, an appropriate number of inserted personalities and the convenience of its narrative for despot Đurađ Branković and his successors.

The analysis is conducted by comparing all of the sources that refer to Milica’s ancestry. The research shows that the available information can be divided into two groups: one where unspecified kinship with the Nemanjić dynasty is mentioned and the other where the Vukan-­Milica lineage is clearly stated. Various sources, ranging from stemma­chronicles, liturgical texts and one charter issued by Milica’s son, despot Stefan Lazarević, belong to the first group. Moreover, all of them were written during the life of the princess, or very shortly after her death. The first genealogy that notes the Vukan-­Milica lineage is found in the Life of despot Stefan Lazarević, written by Constantine of Kostenets at the time of despot Stefan’s nephew and successor Đurađ Branković. This political and unconventional hagiography is marked by rewriting and reinterpretation of certain parts of the despot’s life. With this questionable approach to the past, the author presents a genealogy of despot Stefan. Emperor Constantine the Great becomes an ancestor of the Nemanjić dynasty and, through the Vukan-Milica lineage, of the despot himself. This falsified genealogy belongs to the type of lay genealogies, characterized by ideological attitudes and loose attachment to the historical truth. Even though the main branch of the Nemanjićs is presented correctly, it is not possible to accept the lineage in question without confirmation from other sources. Yet, the other sources do not repeat it. Afterward, the lineage is often distorted and the aim to unite all the prominent figures of medieval times in a single family tree is quite noticeable. Consequently, genealogies become filled with further fabrications. Later on, they are interpolated in other historiographical genres, one stemma­-chronicle from the 16th and chronicles from the 16th and 17th century. Иn the end, although the Vukan­-Milica lineage cannot be accepted from the methodological point of view, with the current state of the sources it is not possible to offer an alternative version of family relations between the princess and the Nemanjić dynasty. It could be argued that the success of the one we find in the Life of despot Stefan lies in the absence of living protagonists of the genealogy, an appropriate number of inserted personalities and the convenience of its narrative for despot Đurađ Branković and his successors.",

AB  - Summary: This paper explores the relationship between the emergence of genealogies and chronicles and the specific social and political circumstances in which they originated. In that process, the ideology behind those texts is compared to the ideology of previous times, in search for the particular and specific history of medieval Serbian ideologies. Analysis of the hidden ideologies in these texts lead us to defining perceptual grids, which determine the nature of the writer’s perceptions and the manner in which he transmitted historical events. Understanding perceptual grids helps us to better determine the value of these sources for modern scholars. Research showed that former division of these sources, into genealogies, early chronicles and later chronicles, is not adequate. Therefore a new classification in accordance with the theory of genres and their evolution is proposed. The first group of sources may still be called genealogies, even though they are not just genealogies, but conflations between genres of hagiography and genealogy. The contents, typically hagiographic, are linked by the principle of hereditary succession into a chronological sequence. The older chronicles, are renamed to stemma-chronicles, another mixture of theoretically distinct genres. In stemma-chronicle content is also organized as a series of biographies in chronological sequence, connected by family affiliation. The difference between genealogies and stemma-chronicles is that in the former content is usually religiously oriented while in the later it is a balanced mix of historical accounts of secular and religious significance. It should be added, that in stemma-chronicles timelines are present, which is not the case with genealogies. The third group is named simple chronicles, instead of later chronicles, since it represent the genre in its pure form. Historical events are recorded by their date without connecting protagonists by affiliation. Apart from the theoretical redefinition of the sources, the paper offers a new time frame for their emergence. Bringing together historical circumstances, genre relations and their reciprocal influence and results of analysed contents it is argued that genealogies, stemma-chronicles and chronicles originated at or around the time of the battle of Marica River in 1371. Once again, the search for the past is shown to be guided by present necessities in turbulent and insecure times like those in the last quarter of the 14th century.
 In the end, the last and maybe the most important conclusion of this paper is the definition of two types of perceptual grids found in examined sources. The first is the political and ideological perceptual grid, which is present in genealogies and stemma-chronicles. Representation and reinterpretation of history in those texts is conditioned by the intense contest for political power and authority, and these texts can be seen as a textual analogy of that struggle. The second one can be called the historical perceptual grid, because history was not used as a field of political competition for political power, but as a means of remembering events that are important for the community and thereby creating a collective identity.

AB  - Mentions of ancestors in the charters of Serbian medieval rulers from the Nemanjić dynasty often bear an ideological note illustrating one of the key requirements of medieval government – the need to legitimize a ruler’s hold on power or, in other words, to recognize newly acquired ruling authority as legal. Analysis of these ideological mentions of ancestors has uncovered three patterns of their usage, based on the manner in which the ancestral motif is used and the degree of legitimization it achieves. The first pattern consists of mentions found in autobiographical excerpts placed in the preambles (arengae) of solemn charters recording donations to ecclesiastical institutions. In situations when his right to power is disputable, the current ruler speaks of his accession to the throne, creating a context in which he can be represented as a legitimate heir. This pattern was present in the documents of rulers whose right to the throne was questioned since the beginning of their reign – Stefan the Firstcrowned, Stefan Dečanski and Stefan Dušan.  The second pattern concentrates on the mentions of ancestors as saints. This pattern’s potential for legitimization is most notably exploited in the rulers’ intitulations. Mentions of this type are often followed by the beata stirps motif which was initially linked to the metaphor of the tree of Jesse. This pattern is present in the documents of Nemanjić rulers since the time of the canonization of the dynasty’s founder, Stefan Nemanja, and its frequency testifies to the suitability of such mentions for legitimization of power.  The last pattern comprises participation of the holy ancestors in government. At first, the ancestors participate in government through their mention in the sanctions of royal charters as protectors of the current ruler’s donations along with God, the Virgin, and some of the greatest Christian saints. Later, they are shown as helping the ruler in conquests or succession to the throne through their prayers. This pattern was developed during the reign of king Мilutin, at a time of severe internal conflicts.  Widespread presence and constant innovation of ancestral mentions indicate that they had an important role presenting the rulers to the readers and users of their documents. Additionally, the variety of the types of mentions implies that the diplomatic image of the ruler was adjusted to the current political situation. It was of crucial importance in the tumult of frequent dynastic confrontations, which strongly encouraged the use of every available instrument to demonstrate a ruler’s legitimacy.
