The Reformation was reflected in both the German Württemberg and the Belarusian lands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later Poland-Lithuania (Rzeczpospolita). Here the flourishing of this wide social movement falls on the 16th century. First of all, the author of this article made an attempt to illuminate the Reformation and its origins on the Belarusian lands on, as well as to establish a possible relationship between the European figures of the Reformation of Württemberg and such located to the East of the region, as the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later later Poland-Lithuania (Rzeczpospolita). Besides, one should also mention the fact that the 16th century had played an important role in the Reformation as well as in developing book printing. The representatives of both Eastern and Central Europe were actively involved in the process. The very first book printer among the Eastern Slavs was Francis Skarina of Polotsk who published his first book 500 years ago in Prague. A few decades later, Primus Truber, a famous Slovenian Reformation activist, used Skarina’s fonts from the Prague printing house. A great number of Protestant editions was printed in the Slavic printing house in Bad Urakh, where Primus Truber was printing his books under the aegis of Baron Hans von Ungnad from 1559 to 1565. It should be noted that Nikolay the Black Radziwill, who was the Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, lords of the castle of Mir Il’iniči and other Lithuanian nobles patronized the activities of that printing house among with German and Polish princes.

Key Words: European Reformation, the origins of the Reformation, Hussites, Hieronymus of Prague, Francis Skarina, Abraham Kulva, Nikolay the Black Radziwill, Nikolay the Orphan Radziwill, Primus Truber, Baron Hans von Ungnad’s Slavic printing house.

In this article the methodological and genre peculiarities of the treatises of Claude de Seyssel are studied. He tried to adapt the methodology of humanisctic historical inquiry, having joined it with the national French historical tradition, and thus attempted to make his contribution to the development of Western European humanisctic historiography in the context of political competition in Europe in the course of the Italian Wars. Arguing in his treatise against those who stood for the predominance of Venice in the military and political aspects, Claude de Seyssel sought to prove that the French monarchy was the model of the working social and political system that could be understood in the terms of humanistic concepts, and thus he contributed to the development of communication and mutual influence between humanistic Italian and French traditions of history-writing.

Key Words: Claude de Seyssel, historical and social and political thought, methodology, humanistic historiography, Italian Wars, Renaissance, Early Modern period

The article tells about the doctrine of Anselm of Lucca during the struggle for investment. Anselm was an ally of Pope Gregory VII, who fought for the right to invest against Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV. For the success of this struggle Anselm made a Collection of canons, in which he used numerous collections of canons of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, for example, Quesnelliana, Avellana, Pseudoisidoriana. Monuments of the ancient Liturgy of the Roman Church also found their place in the collection and influenced the language of Anselm and its system of images. The doctrine of the papal theocracy, which was defended by Anselm, made inevitable the conflict of his teachings with Byzantine ecclesiology, the basic principles of which were formulated in the early 12th century by Princess Anna Komnene.

The present paper deals with the role and functions of mobile Dalmatian cavalry, which served in Illyricum (the regions across an upper and middle Danube), and also considers some frontier legions, which defended Rhine against barbarian assaults during the mid-4th century, more precisely, in 350. Having based on two passages of Byzantine historian Zosimus, the author considers some important aspects of Late Roman organization in the mid-4th century: 1) the reasons why Rhine frontier legions, including detachments of Ioviani and Herculiani, supported a revolt of Roman military officer Magnentius, who commanded over troops in Gaul; 2) participation of Dalmatian cavalry in the revolt of Magnentius and 3) military-political situation in Illyricum by 350 A. D., the relationships between Vetranio, a general, who commanded over troops in Illyricum, and the legal Emperor Constantius II. The author concludes that both Rhine frontier legions and Dalmatian cavalry, which served in Illyricum, were dissatisfied by the policy of Emperor Constantine I and his sons, because during his own reign Constantine I lowered the status (rank) of many of these detachments, he deprived them of their privileged and elite place in military hierarchy. The author concludes that Constantius II preferred to use a regional general Vetranio as a counterpart of Magnentius in order to manage a control over Dalmatian cavalry, Constantius II gave Vatranio a title of Augustus, and, as the author supposes, the so-called usurpation of Vetranio really was an intended and carefully planned operation of Constantius himself.
