Impact of Gerard van Swieten on the Development of Austrian Medicine Throughout the 18th Century

Scripta Medica, 2021

Scientific and methodological experience which doctor from Leiden brought in Habsburg capital was so overwhelming that whole structure of medical science was shattered and reconstructed in a much more efficient way. Impact of Van Swieten was a splendid example of
dominance of scientific method in the Netherlands, where modern European science gained more ground than anywhere else during the classical era of baroque, throughout the 17th and first half of the 18th century. On the other hand, internal reforms and transformation of Austria, from the mid-18th century, helped a lot in the process of successful reception of new structural ideas. Through this kind of merging, inside of only several decades, Vienna managed to grow into one of leading centers of medical science in Europe and the world.

ĆEVAPI: A PARADIGM OF YUGOSLAV GASTRONOMIC BRANDIFICATION

by Boro Bronza and Slavojka Bestic-Bronza

Brotherhood and Unity at the Kitchen Table: Food in Socialist Yugoslavia, 2019

Cevapi as traditional Yugoslavian dish is not exemption, but most prominent example of blurred past, with inclination towards multiple theories about geographic and/or ethnic roots. There are many varieties in versions intended to link cevapi with counterparts inside of preparing of minced veal meat milieu, mostly in Greece and Turkey. Theory clashes about distant past and roots of cevapi have similar dimensions in the perception of sources and migrations that this particular dish used to have at the space of Yugoslavia. Several Yugoslavian regions claim to be the real hard core from where cevapi actually emerged, with parts of Bosnia, Herzegovina and Serbia as crucial contenders. However, it was exactly in the time of social Yugoslavia that this dish evolved into most famous Yugoslavian culinary brand. Geographical expansion definitely started during 1960’s. With the further development of tourism and gastro industry in 1970’s, many Yugoslavian regions not so connected with mentioned dish in earlier times soon became overflowed with favourite spiced meat rolls, including most touristic regions of Dalmatia and other parts of Yugoslavian Adriatic coast. Peak of expansion was definitely reached in 1980’s, when cevapi started to spread over the borders, mostly through network of restaurants, opened by Yugoslavian migrants in West European countries and also through influences implied on West European (mainly German) tourists during their visits in Yugoslavian Adriatic region.

City of Dubica Between Hungary, Croatia and Templars During the 13th Century

This position was connected with the rising of different aspects of challenges at mentioned geographic sides. Connection of the Knights Templars with Dubica made the city even more important with the passing of decades both for Hungarian King and for Croatian and Slavonian counties in the immediate surrounding. The subsequent transition of Templar possessions at the area of Dubica in the hands of the Knights of St. John, after the crashing of the order by the hand of French king Philip IV and in accordance with the bulls of Pope Clement V, Vox in excelso and Ad providam, from 1312, cited how whole story about logistical setup managed to get completely new dimensions in even more complex milieu of the 14th century.

Austrian Measures for Prevention and Control of the Plague Epidemic Along the Border With the Ottoman Empire During the 18 th Century

Austrian policy was not out of the line in this context, so the general aspects of dealing in organisation of military border with the Ottoman Empire were always crucially connected with the reactions towards epidemics. Especially in the 16th and 17th centuries, Austria battled hard to stop expansion of epidemics that during those times mainly fluxed in from the side of the Ottoman Empire. The decisive change came in the 18th century. During this period, the Austrian reaction to plague outbursts at the area of southeastern Europe was already a product of general rise of sanitary standards in western European regions, where attempts for implementation of some of newest qualities in perception of the quarantine requirements and medicine applications met with complex aspects of life in a turbulent area of military border. Efficiency of measures was instant and sustainable in the long term.

Land in Sicht: Südosteuropa in den deutschen politischen Zeitschriften des 18. Jahrhunderts (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Europäische Geschichte Mainz, Band 220) - Boro Bronza review

Prilozi 38, Sarajevo 2009, 263-267, 2009

Jahrhunderts, Mainz 2008, str. 229 Tokom posljednjih godina bugarski istoričar Ivan Parvev zasluženo je stekao reputaciju jednog od vodećih evropskih istoričara prostora Jugoistočne Evrope tokom 18. vijeka. Počevši od doktorske disertacije o odnosima Habzburgovaca i Osmanlija između opsade Beča i Beogradskog mira (Ivan Parvev, Habsburgs and Ottomans. Between Vienna and Belgrade (1683-1739) [Habzburgovci i Osmanlije. Između Beča i Beograda (1683-1739], Boulder 1995), preko specijalizovanih radova o prirodi habzburškog političkog i diplomatskog djelovanja na prostoru Jugoistočne Evrope, odnosno preimućstva pregovaranja u odnosu na ratovanje (Ivan Parvev, "Du, glückliches Österreich, verhandle". Militär versus Diplomatie in der habsburgischen Südosteuropa-Politik, 1739-1878 ["Ti, sretna Austrijo, pregovaraj". Vojska protiv diplomatije u habzburškoj politici u Jugoistočnoj Evropi, 1739-1878, in Marlene Kurz u.a. (Hrsg.), Das Osmanische Reich und die Habsburgermonarchie, Wien-München 2005, 539-550), do svog najnovijeg djela o percepciji Jugoistočne Evrope u njemačkim političkim časopisima 18. vijeka (Ivan Parvev, Land in Sicht. Südosteuropa in den deutschen politischen Zeitschriften des 18. Jahrhunderts [Kopno na vidiku. Jugoistočna Evropa u njemačkim političkim časopisima 18. vijeka], Mainz 2008), Parvev se pozicionirao kao ključni bugarski istraživač odnosa Srednje i Jugoistočne Evrope u razdoblju od 17. do 19. vijeka, sa posebnim naglaskom na 18. vijeku. U tom kontekstu on je izraziti predstavnik pojačanog interesovanja bugarske istoriografije za taj period, izraženog tokom posljednjih decenija. Tradicionalna bugarska istoriografija bila je prvenstveno okrenuta medievistici, ali je nakon mnogobrojnih uspješnih "izleta" Marije Todorove, sublimiranih u knjizi Imagining the Balkans [Zamišljanje Balkana] (u Beogradu se 1999. godine pojavio prevod sa ne baš precizno prevedenim naslovom -Imaginarni Balkan), došlo do preokreta, pa je naročito u aktuelnoj deceniji u Bugarskoj fokus proučavanja bugarske i regionalne istorije u velikoj mjeri pomjeren na razdoblje od 15. do 19. vijeka. Paralelno sa proučavanjem odnosa Bugarske i Balkana sa prostorom Srednje Evrope (gdje se sve više pojavljuju pionirski radovi o ranije nepoznatim aspektima odnosa bugarskog prostora sa Habzburškom Monarhijom, kao što je to npr. u Stefan Spevak, Unde potentita Turcorum pulsi, bonis universis amissis -Die Emigration der Familie de Vuko et Branko aus dem Osmanischen Reich nach Ungarn (1688-1828), in Marlene Kurz u.a. (Hrsg.), Das Osmanische Reich und die Habsburgermonarchie, Wien-München 2005, 579-596), proučavaju se i odnosi Balkana i Rusije u istom periodu, što je rezultiralo iscrpnim studijama, kao što je knjiga Tamare Stoilove o ruskoj politici na evropskom jugoistoku tokom 18. vijeka (Тамара Стоилова, Третият Рим. Мирните решения на руската имперска политика в Югоизточна Европа през XVIII век, София 2001). Uz to se u Sofiji stvara krug mladih istoričara koji se bave sličnom tematikom, a Ivan Parvev, kao profesor na Istorijskom fakultetu, Univerziteta "Sveti Kliment Ohridski" u Sofiji, predstavlja okosnicu takvih strijemljenja. Parvev je tokom posljednjih godina intenzivno boravio u Njemačkoj, a naročito na Institutu za evropsku istoriju (Institut für Europäische Geschichte) u Meinzu. Uz podršku direktora Instituta, Heinza Duchhardta, koji je sam u Sofiji 1998. godine pokrenuo inicijativu za takvo istraživanje, bugarski istoričar je tokom više godina proučavao njemačke političke časopise 18. vijeka i njihove opservacije o prostoru Jugoistočne Evrope u cjelini. Osim u Meinzu, istraživanja su vršena u bibliotekama u Göttingenu i Wolfenbüttelu. Početkom ove godine, kao rezultat gotovo osmogodišnjeg rada, pojavila se sofisticirana studija koja na vrlo

Проблеми око разграничења између Хабзбуршке Монархије и Османског Царства након мира у Свиштову 1791-1797

ГЛАСНИК УДРУЖЕЊА АРХИВСКИХ РАДНИКА, No. 9, pp. 69-82, 2017

Мировни преговори између Аустрије и Турске, одржани у раздобљу од децембра 1790. до августа 1791.... more Мировни преговори између Аустрије и Турске, одржани у раздобљу од децембра 1790. до августа 1791. резултирали су потписивањем мировног споразума у Свиштову, којим је завршен, како ће се касније испоставити, посљедњи у низу сукоба између два велика царства која су пресудно утицала на судбину Југоисточне Европе у комплетном раздобљу од 14. до почетка 20. вијека. Мир у Свиштову је ставио тачку на рат који је започео фебруара 1788. године, али су се рефлексије конфликта наставиле и након самог рата у исто тако комплексном процесу разграничења између двију држава. Како су многе ствари из самог мировног споразума остале недоречене, па и сам есенцијални доживљај завршетка рата, односно питање његовог карактера и питање његовог исхода, то су се кроз наведено разграничење сви ти процеси у многоме поново развијали и проживљавали. С обзиром да је европска политичка стварност тог времена била изразито турбулентна, нарочито у односу на директне посљедице Француске револуције, као и на ратове које су између Француске и већине остатка Европе избили почев од 1792. године, тако су се и ти фактори инкорпорирали у комплексност аустријско-турског разграничења, нарочито на простору сјеверозападне Босне, односно на потезу од Бихаћа, преко Новог, Дубице и Бербира (Градишке). Питање размјене заробљеника, нарочито оних који су већ у међувремену на турској страни били продани у робље, било је такође посебно проблематично и његова имплементација се развукла на неколико година.

Перцепција Хабзбуршке Монархије у списима босанских фрањеваца XVIII вијека

Зборник радова са научног скупа, Наука и савремени друштвени процеси (Бања Лука, 9-10. новембар 2007), Филозофски факултет у Бањој Луци, Научни скупови, Бања Лука, pp. 233-261,, 2007

Ранији радови, који су посљедњих година махом реиздани, темељили су се искључиво на истраживањима фрањевачке заоставштине у самим самостанима централне Босне, те у Архиву фрањевачке провинције у Сарајеву, односно Архиву Пропаганде у Риму. Овај рад настоји указати на значајне могућности допуњавања истраживања фокусирањем на архивска истраживања у Аустријском државном архиву у Бечу.
XVIII вијек је као епоха за босанске фрањевце био од посебног значаја првенствено због оствареног трансфера финансијско-идеолошког центра од чије подршке је зависио њихов опстанак у несигурним условима Босанског пашалука. Вијековна неоспорна доминација Рима је крајем вијека потиснута у други план захваљујући интензивној дјелатности Беча. Хабзбурговци су полако али сигурно у потпуности у своје руке преузели финасирање школовања босанских фрањеваца, као и финансирање других аспеката њиховог дјеловања у оквирима Османског Царства. На тај начин су их дугорочно везали за своје спољнополитичке циљеве. С обзиром да је школовање босанских фрањеваца углавном било организовано у Загребу и другим средиштима Хрватске и Славоније, крајем XVIII вијека остварен је и пресудни корак на плану инкорпорирања босанских фрањеваца (иначе најизразитијих носилаца традиција средњовјековне Босне) у хрватски етнички корпус.

PREPARATIONS OF THE AUSTRIAN EXPEDITION TOWARDS INDIA 1775-1776

In this respect, the increasingly successful activity of the British East India Company was an example for the Vienna government in indicating of which lucrative possibilities lay in the proper development of trade in the east. Austria soon decided to try to organize trade expeditions to India itself and the British experience was of primary importance to it. An indispensable link for the launch of such ventures was the opportunity for the representatives of the Austrian diplomatic network to meet directly with individuals from the group of traders who had already had extensive experience in trade with India. This was exactly the case in London in 1774, when the Austrian Ambassador Ludovico Luigi Carlo Maria di Barbiano di Belgiojoso met one of the most famous European entrepreneurs of the second half of the 18th century, William Bolts. It was the beginning of a new great Austrian adventure in Asia and at the same time an attempt to radically redefine the essential nature of the Habsburg position and philosophy. Immediately after the Austrian diplomatic network came into contact with Bolts, the sophisticated preparations of the expedition began, before the final take off in 1776.

AUSTRIAN TRADE TOWARDS THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND ASIA DURING THE 18 th CENTURY

During the 18th century, just before the start of the industrial revolution, the system experienced a peak. Naval powers played a key role in its global development, as their commercial and military fleets enabled the constant fluctuation of the goods on all oceans and continents. The trade of European naval forces with India and other parts of Asia was particularly significant regarding the commercial aspects and large profits were achieved especially in the triangle of slave trade between Europe, Africa and America. In this context Austria was mostly just an observer because its effect on the global commercial efforts was dominantly continental. However, with the development of the 18thcentury Austria invested also more efforts to increase its share in the global trade and the accumulation of trade capital. The Court Chamber was efficiently organized for the new conditions of economic activity in 1714 through a thorough set of reforms. The division of chambers into independent commissions was fully achieved. It was an adequate administrative basis for the start of the Austrian trade expansion to the east and southeast throughout the rest of the 18th century.

Scientific and methodological experience which doctor from Leiden brought in Habsburg capital was so overwhelming that whole structure of medical science was shattered and reconstructed in a much more efficient way. Impact of Van Swieten was a splendid example of
dominance of scientific method in the Netherlands, where modern European science gained more ground than anywhere else during the classical era of baroque, throughout the 17th and first half of the 18th century. On the other hand, internal reforms and transformation of Austria, from the mid-18th century, helped a lot in the process of successful reception of new structural ideas. Through this kind of merging, inside of only several decades, Vienna managed to grow into one of leading centers of medical science in Europe and the world.

ĆEVAPI: A PARADIGM OF YUGOSLAV GASTRONOMIC BRANDIFICATION

Cevapi as traditional Yugoslavian dish is not exemption, but most prominent example of blurred past, with inclination towards multiple theories about geographic and/or ethnic roots. There are many varieties in versions intended to link cevapi with counterparts inside of preparing of minced veal meat milieu, mostly in Greece and Turkey. Theory clashes about distant past and roots of cevapi have similar dimensions in the perception of sources and migrations that this particular dish used to have at the space of Yugoslavia. Several Yugoslavian regions claim to be the real hard core from where cevapi actually emerged, with parts of Bosnia, Herzegovina and Serbia as crucial contenders. However, it was exactly in the time of social Yugoslavia that this dish evolved into most famous Yugoslavian culinary brand. Geographical expansion definitely started during 1960’s. With the further development of tourism and gastro industry in 1970’s, many Yugoslavian regions not so connected with mentioned dish in earlier times soon became overflowed with favourite spiced meat rolls, including most touristic regions of Dalmatia and other parts of Yugoslavian Adriatic coast. Peak of expansion was definitely reached in 1980’s, when cevapi started to spread over the borders, mostly through network of restaurants, opened by Yugoslavian migrants in West European countries and also through influences implied on West European (mainly German) tourists during their visits in Yugoslavian Adriatic region.

This position was connected with the rising of different aspects of challenges at mentioned geographic sides. Connection of the Knights Templars with Dubica made the city even more important with the passing of decades both for Hungarian King and for Croatian and Slavonian counties in the immediate surrounding. The subsequent transition of Templar possessions at the area of Dubica in the hands of the Knights of St. John, after the crashing of the order by the hand of French king Philip IV and in accordance with the bulls of Pope Clement V, Vox in excelso and Ad providam, from 1312, cited how whole story about logistical setup managed to get completely new dimensions in even more complex milieu of the 14th century.

Austrian Measures for Prevention and Control of the Plague Epidemic Along the Border With the Ottoman Empire During the 18 th Century

Austrian policy was not out of the line in this context, so the general aspects of dealing in organisation of military border with the Ottoman Empire were always crucially connected with the reactions towards epidemics. Especially in the 16th and 17th centuries, Austria battled hard to stop expansion of epidemics that during those times mainly fluxed in from the side of the Ottoman Empire. The decisive change came in the 18th century. During this period, the Austrian reaction to plague outbursts at the area of southeastern Europe was already a product of general rise of sanitary standards in western European regions, where attempts for implementation of some of newest qualities in perception of the quarantine requirements and medicine applications met with complex aspects of life in a turbulent area of military border. Efficiency of measures was instant and sustainable in the long term.

Počevši od doktorske disertacije o odnosima Habzburgovaca i Osmanlija između opsade Beča i Beogradskog mira (Ivan Parvev, Habsburgs and Ottomans. Between Vienna and Belgrade (1683-1739) [Habzburgovci i Osmanlije. Između Beča i Beograda (1683-1739], Boulder 1995), preko specijalizovanih radova o prirodi habzburškog političkog i diplomatskog djelovanja na prostoru Jugoistočne Evrope, odnosno preimućstva pregovaranja u odnosu na ratovanje (Ivan Parvev, "Du, glückliches Österreich, verhandle".

Südosteuropa in den deutschen politischen Zeitschriften des 18. Jahrhunderts [Kopno na vidiku. Jugoistočna Evropa u njemačkim političkim časopisima 18. vijeka], Mainz 2008), Parvev se pozicionirao kao ključni bugarski istraživač odnosa Srednje i Jugoistočne Evrope u razdoblju od 17. do 19. vijeka, sa posebnim naglaskom na 18. vijeku. U tom kontekstu on je izraziti predstavnik pojačanog interesovanja bugarske istoriografije za taj period, izraženog tokom posljednjih decenija. Tradicionalna bugarska istoriografija bila je prvenstveno okrenuta medievistici, ali je nakon mnogobrojnih uspješnih "izleta" Marije Todorove, sublimiranih u knjizi Imagining the Balkans [Zamišljanje Balkana] (u Beogradu se 1999. godine pojavio prevod sa ne baš precizno prevedenim naslovom -Imaginarni Balkan), došlo do preokreta, pa je naročito u aktuelnoj deceniji u Bugarskoj fokus proučavanja bugarske i regionalne istorije u velikoj mjeri pomjeren na razdoblje od 15. do 19. vijeka. Paralelno sa proučavanjem odnosa Bugarske i Balkana sa prostorom Srednje Evrope (gdje se sve više pojavljuju pionirski radovi o ranije nepoznatim aspektima odnosa bugarskog prostora sa Habzburškom Monarhijom, kao što je to npr. u Stefan Spevak, Unde potentita Turcorum pulsi, bonis universis amissis -Die Emigration der Familie de Vuko et Branko aus dem Osmanischen Reich nach Ungarn (1688-1828), in Marlene Kurz u.a.

Мирните решения на руската имперска политика в Югоизточна Европа през XVIII век, София 2001). Uz to se u Sofiji stvara krug mladih istoričara koji se bave sličnom tematikom, a Ivan Parvev, kao profesor na Istorijskom fakultetu, Univerziteta "Sveti Kliment Ohridski" u Sofiji, predstavlja okosnicu takvih strijemljenja. Parvev je tokom posljednjih godina intenzivno boravio u Njemačkoj, a naročito na Institutu za evropsku istoriju (Institut für Europäische Geschichte) u Meinzu.

Мир у Свиштову је ставио тачку на рат који је започео фебруара 1788. године, али су се рефлексије конфликта наставиле и након самог рата у исто тако комплексном процесу разграничења између двију држава. Како су многе ствари из самог мировног споразума остале недоречене, па и сам есенцијални доживљај завршетка рата, односно питање његовог карактера и питање његовог исхода, то су се кроз наведено разграничење сви ти процеси у многоме поново развијали и проживљавали. С обзиром да је европска политичка стварност тог времена била изразито турбулентна, нарочито у односу на директне посљедице Француске револуције, као и на ратове које су између Француске и већине остатка Европе избили почев од 1792. године, тако су се и ти фактори инкорпорирали у комплексност аустријско-турског разграничења, нарочито на простору сјеверозападне Босне, односно на потезу од Бихаћа, преко Новог, Дубице и Бербира (Градишке). Питање размјене заробљеника, нарочито оних који су већ у међувремену на турској страни били продани у робље, било је такође посебно проблематично и његова имплементација се развукла на неколико година.

Перцепција Хабзбуршке Монархије у списима босанских фрањеваца XVIII вијека

Ранији радови, који су посљедњих година махом реиздани, темељили су се искључиво на истраживањима фрањевачке заоставштине у самим самостанима централне Босне, те у Архиву фрањевачке провинције у Сарајеву, односно Архиву Пропаганде у Риму. Овај рад настоји указати на значајне могућности допуњавања истраживања фокусирањем на архивска истраживања у Аустријском државном архиву у Бечу.
XVIII вијек је као епоха за босанске фрањевце био од посебног значаја првенствено због оствареног трансфера финансијско-идеолошког центра од чије подршке је зависио њихов опстанак у несигурним условима Босанског пашалука. Вијековна неоспорна доминација Рима је крајем вијека потиснута у други план захваљујући интензивној дјелатности Беча. Хабзбурговци су полако али сигурно у потпуности у своје руке преузели финасирање школовања босанских фрањеваца, као и финансирање других аспеката њиховог дјеловања у оквирима Османског Царства. На тај начин су их дугорочно везали за своје спољнополитичке циљеве. С обзиром да је школовање босанских фрањеваца углавном било организовано у Загребу и другим средиштима Хрватске и Славоније, крајем XVIII вијека остварен је и пресудни корак на плану инкорпорирања босанских фрањеваца (иначе најизразитијих носилаца традиција средњовјековне Босне) у хрватски етнички корпус.

PREPARATIONS OF THE AUSTRIAN EXPEDITION TOWARDS INDIA 1775-1776

In this respect, the increasingly successful activity of the British East India Company was an example for the Vienna government in indicating of which lucrative possibilities lay in the proper development of trade in the east. Austria soon decided to try to organize trade expeditions to India itself and the British experience was of primary importance to it. An indispensable link for the launch of such ventures was the opportunity for the representatives of the Austrian diplomatic network to meet directly with individuals from the group of traders who had already had extensive experience in trade with India. This was exactly the case in London in 1774, when the Austrian Ambassador Ludovico Luigi Carlo Maria di Barbiano di Belgiojoso met one of the most famous European entrepreneurs of the second half of the 18th century, William Bolts. It was the beginning of a new great Austrian adventure in Asia and at the same time an attempt to radically redefine the essential nature of the Habsburg position and philosophy. Immediately after the Austrian diplomatic network came into contact with Bolts, the sophisticated preparations of the expedition began, before the final take off in 1776.

During the 18th century, just before the start of the industrial revolution, the system experienced a peak. Naval powers played a key role in its global development, as their commercial and military fleets enabled the constant fluctuation of the goods on all oceans and continents. The trade of European naval forces with India and other parts of Asia was particularly significant regarding the commercial aspects and large profits were achieved especially in the triangle of slave trade between Europe, Africa and America. In this context Austria was mostly just an observer because its effect on the global commercial efforts was dominantly continental. However, with the development of the 18thcentury Austria invested also more efforts to increase its share in the global trade and the accumulation of trade capital. The Court Chamber was efficiently organized for the new conditions of economic activity in 1714 through a thorough set of reforms. The division of chambers into independent commissions was fully achieved. It was an adequate administrative basis for the start of the Austrian trade expansion to the east and southeast throughout the rest of the 18th century.
