The process of the canonization and beatification of John Nepomucene Neumann began in 1886 in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and the Diocese of Budweis. His canonization was completed in 1977. The study presents the as yet uncharted topic of the informative process in the Diocese of Budweis in 1886-1888, including a follow-up examination of John Nepomucene Neumann’s written estate in 1891 and other activities and events related to the Neumann’s process of beatification and canonization up to the beginning of the so-called Apostolic process in December 1896. This study seeks to describe in more detail the ecclesiastical legal process of the whole case; in addition to the context, it seeks to show in a broader horizon the so-called second life of John Nepomucene Neumann in the Diocese of Budweis, which was associated with the spread of his spiritual legacy.

Worldwide, there are countless archives for jazz and popular music. These archives are not only important institutions for historians, but for research on material culture as well. A wide variety of objects from popular music culture can be found in these archives: be it LPs or music magazines, technical music devices, posters and flyers, or fan articles like coffee cups, band shirts, or bedlinen. But relatively little is known about the background of these institutions. How are archival collections created? Which objects do archives collect for what reasons? And do archives participate in processes of cultural canonization by making certain aspects of jazz and popular music more visible than others? The aim of this article is to discuss these questions based on semi-structured interviews with senior staff members of selected public archives for jazz and popular music in Germany.

The present study examines the early emergence of the Osiris liturgies based on the examples of the chapels of Osiris Ptah Neb Anch and Osiris Neb Anch in Karnak. It is determined that parts of the funerary liturgies of the Old and Middle Kingdoms were already performed in the Osiris cult in temples before their later canonization on papyrus. A scenario is presented that makes the introduction of Osirian recitation texts in temple cults plausible before the beginning of the Ptolemaic period. The significance of the cult of Osiris in connection with the cult of Amun in Karnak is also emphasized. [Extracted from the article]

This article describes chronologically Edith Södergran’s and partly also her Finland-Swedish poet colleagues’ canonization in the form of translations in the territory of the former Czechoslovakia. The poetry has been translated there into three languages: Czech, Slovak and Hungarian. Södergran’s Czech canonization began in the 1930s and reached its peak by the edition of her collected works (1987). In Slovakia, the peaks are two: 1969 (the first anthology) and 2008 (the second one). The article follows which publishers – as the Czech Odeon – or which publications were active in issuing of the translations as well as how the canonization was motivated ideologically. Especially it explores what kind of persons (ie translators) took part in the process. In their professions, many of them combined their translation activities with others, often poetic and in particular academic ones; in Slovakia, translators and poets collaborated with each other rendering the poems. J. B. Michl represents an interesting personal link between the Czech and Slovak canonization processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Among many titles, John Paul II fully deserves to be called the “Pope of Holiness” due to a record number of beatifications and canonizations that he made and an original doctrine on holiness. He wanted to put into practice the conciliar teaching on the universal call of Christians to holiness. In the Pope’s theology of holiness, the emphasis is placed on the Holy Trinity as the source of all holiness. In addition, he speaks of the manifestations, models and means leading to holiness, and thus of a specific “pedagogy of holiness”. John Paul II’s doctrine of holiness is closely related to his lifestyle, which was confirmed by the Church with his beatification (1 May 2011) and canonization (27 April 2014). Considering his doctrine, life and concern for the Christian shape of Europe, it is a legitimate expectation that he will soon be proclaimed a Doctor of the Church and Patron of Europe.

The construction of the devotional image of King Jaime I has its origin in the portrait of fame that may be found in the chronicles. This devotional image gradually consolidates in the written texts and works of art produced in the 14th century up to the 18th century. The main aim of this work is to study and analyze how the apotheosis of his image as a founding king is promoted on the one hand by the Order of Mercy, who was interested in linking his foundational origin with the monarchy, and on the other by the house of the Habsburgs, who wanted to raise a king of their lineage to the altars.

The 7th Pilgrimage of the Holy Father to Poland was a special time for the Tarnowski Church community, because during the pilgrimage John Paul II was to come to Stary Sącz to canonize Saint Kinga. An important element of any liturgical meeting are song sand liturgical music. The present study aims to show various aspects of preparations in the musical field, from the liturgical theme of the celebration, through the performers, to the planned repertoire of songs. The canonization of Saint Kinga decided the subject matter of the texts, the performers were joined by choirs and orchestras, while the repertoire consisted of songs in honor of Saint Kinga, Eucharistic songs intended for the common singing of the entire community and choral works with orchestra accompaniment. Its character emphasized the very festive mood of this feast of faith.

The second half of the nineteenth century is of crucial importance in Slovene history, as during this time, a sense of national consciousness began to be disseminated, literacy increased significantly, and different Slovene vernaculars were developed into a modern, supra-regional, standardized, and codified Slovene language. These developments were intertwined and enabled by general processes of modernization within the Habsburg Monarchy, under which the Slovenes had lived for centuries alongside speakers of other languages. At the same time, spurred on by the ideas of the liberal Revolution of 1848, a modern school system was first established within the monarchy. The demand for modern schoolbooks to be used within this system was a considerable challenge, especially for Slavic languages like Slovene, which were not yet fully developed. This task proved to be impossible without relying heavily on translations, and, starting in 1848, modern schoolbook production soon led to an increase in translation activity. This paper examines the historical circumstances surrounding the creation of Slovene schoolbooks between 1848 and 1918, the main agents in the field, the volume and the characteristics of translations included in schoolbooks, if and when they were marked as translations, translation strategies, and ideological steering through translations. It also examines the issues of whether and how the state, through the Ministry of Education, controlled or guided these translations activities while also controlling content within schoolbook production in general.

Статья посвящена уникальному памятнику первой четверти XX в. - сборнику служб старообрядческим святым, составленному известным проповедником и духовным писателем, преосвященным Иннокентием (Иван Григорьевич Усов, 1870-1942) - епископом Нижегородским и Костромским, Кишиневским, Тульчинским, митрополитом Белокриницким. Материалом для анализа послужил список со сборника, выполненный в 1990-е гг., включающий тридцать служб, расположенных по принципу годового богослужебного певческого круга. Автор определяет четыре группы служб в соответствии с эортологическими степенями праздников, каждый из которых включает ряд обязательных композиционно-жанровых элементов: единственную службу с всенощным бдением - святым священномученикам и исповедникам протопопу Аввакуму, иерею Лазарю, диакону Феодору и иноку Епифанию; три полиелеосных цикла - соловецким мученикам, священномученику и исповеднику епископу Павлу Коломенскому, великомученицам Феодосии (Феодоре), сестры ее Евдокии, инокинь Иустины и Марии; восемь шестеричных и восемнадцать четверичных служб. Отмечается, что сборник не нотирован, но музыкальный аспект гимнотворчества заложен в предписании жанрам служб конкретной певческой модели и гласа, что предопределяет интонационно -мелодический профиль песнопений. В статье рассматриваются имеющиеся в сборнике певческие модели, выявляются пятнадцать подобнов для стихир микроциклов, подобны для исполнения седальнов по кафизмах, канона и кондаков, в основе которых лежат тропарные гласовые образцы, а также подобны светильное. Уделяется внимание акростишному принципу составления песен канона («краегранесие»), характерному для девяти служб сборника. Аналитические наблюдения позволяют в заключении оценить сборник служб епископа Иннокентия как крупнейший гимнографический труд первой четверти XX в. и обозначить перспективы его исследования.

In 1139, Pope Innocent II denied Westminster Abbey’s request to obtain canonization for King Edward (reigned 1042–1066), later known as “the Confessor.” Modern scholars usually explain this failure in relation to the disruption of the early years of King Stephen’s reign, 1135–1154, when he and Empress Matilda clashed over who should wear England’s crown. While the contemporary political situation was an important influence on Pope Innocent’s decision, other factors were equally significant, in particular the fragility of Westminster Abbey’s own position within the kingdom. Although established as the site of English coronations, Westminster was yet to assert itself as the kingdom’s premier royal church, and its financial position was challenged by competition from London. The Abbey’s attempt to obtain Edward’s canonization was central to its campaign, headed by Osbert of Clare, to secure its political and financial position. Westminster’s weakness caused the Abbey to tie the canonization request to Stephen’s fortunes, which ultimately did not help the cause, when shifting papal politics strengthened Innocent’s independence and correspondingly weakened his support for the king. The intersection of these factors, rather than the civil conflict alone, resulted in the denial of the canonization request in 1139.

The canonisation of King Ladislaus of Hungary (1077–1095) is only incompletely documented. Two lengthy periods of absence on the part of Cardinal Gregorius from the Curia during the pontificates of Clement III and Celestine III suggest that he was abroad on a diplomatic mission but give no clue as to its goals. Although there is no evidence for King Ladislaus's canonisation in any charters, including the papal registers and the addressees' archives, it can be assumed that it must have been a prime purpose of these journeys. The paper presents logical reasons for this assumption and a detailed reconstruction of the events and the cardinal's part in the canonisation proceedings. Saint Ladislaus soon became the most popular saint in the medieval kingdom of Hungary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals with the question of an (un) secret literary canon and a specific practice of canonization in intercultural contexts of German as a foreign language using the case study of the OeAD teachers. Based on some selected (necessarily abbreviated) research results from my dissertation, I will outline the current relevance of canonization (literary texts) and present the research questions. This is followed by a brief overview of the current state of canon research and I will use Simone Winko's "invisible hand (s)" as a basis for empirical comparisons. The selected results point in the direction of a "core canon" and illustrate canonization instances, allowing a brief discussion of the question of terminology. Empirically sound recommendations round off the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper focuses on the preliminary interventions undertaken for the in situ and post situ preservation of the archaeological artifacts derived from the disinterment of the Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni, which took place in the context of the canonization held in Căpriana Monastery (the Republic of Moldova). The paper points out the importance of the pluridisciplinary approach in order to ensure the adequate conditions for a specialized and immediate first aid for the excavated artifacts, which thereby would be able to be part of and enrich the ecclesiastical heritage of the Republic of Moldova. Brief presentations of the monastic institution’s history and the metropolitan’s biography are also provided.

Drawing on literary paratexts such as prologues, reviews and letters, this study seeks answers to the question of Meissner's role in the German-language canon, or rather why his literary legacy has endured for so long. First, Meissner's personal contacts in the world of literature from a social- historical perspective is considered. This reveals that the repeated criticism of Meissner's texts, which despite their popularity were to a large extent at odds with the taste of the time, cast him in a bad light. Selected relevant texts will be placed in their discursive context and Meissner's writings within the parameters of 18th century literary practice examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay explores the idea of “decanonization” in reference to the “Wolf’s Glen Scene” (the Act II Finale) of Carl Maria von Weber’s Der Freischütz. It uses the presence of Der Freischütz excerpts in succeeding editions of the Norton Anthology of Western Music as an index of the opera’s centrality to the music-historical canon. While Weber’s opera seems to have maintained its relative position in the anthology, the very idea of music history as organized around a canon of works has been in steep decline.

This paper aims to assess the challenging role of post - communist critical and theoretical revisions for the literary canon legitimized under communism. Special attention will be given, therefore, to the so - called “East - ethical revisionism”, th eoretical direction which, beyond the interpretative excesses involved, brings a necessary resizing of the relation between aesthetics (the autonomy of art) and ethics (the political compromise literature assumes). Although these revisions generated the mo st acid cultural polemics of the '90s, practical results delay so much that the analysis of their inertia becomes a substantial issue of the current Romanian canonical debate. A good way of access to these interpretative jams remains Monica Lovinescu's cri tical activity, because Eugen Lovinescu's daughter acquires the role of coordinator of the “East - ethical revisionism”.

The aim of the study was to show the need of a miracle in proving a canonization. We considered the subject of a miracle’s approval. Moreover, we studied the suggestions made by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints related to this topic. Then, we went through the procedures of canonization which was under a continuous development. In addition, we showed the miracle’s necessity and the requirements for its approval. The current procedure of canonization in the diocese and the Congregation’s requirements were presented in the final section. The value of the miracle’s evidence of proving the sanctity has been based on the legal text analysis made during the study.

Priests of the Afro-Cuban Ifá-Oracle are increasingly using smartphones in their divination sessions. One particular application allows the meanings and recommendations of all the 256 existing oracle signs to be accessed. The present article analyses this development in view of the canonization of the Ifá-oracle following its conversion from orality to literacy in Cuba, where the divination system had been introduced by Yoruba slaves in the nineteenth century. The Ifá-application will be presented and its mode of operation explained. The app will then be discussed in the context of the 'digital diaspora (religion)'. The article aims to contribute an empirical example to the ongoing debate on the so called 'media turn' in anthropology and religious studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The surviving sources suggest that St Sava of Serbia was, as part of the programme of securing sacral legitimacy for the state and dynasty, setting the scene for the inclusion of his brother Stefan, the first-crowned Serbian king, among the saints. This part of the programme was not fully realized, but the focus of the cult was on the incorrupt relics. The cult of Stefan the First-Crowned was not rounded off until the seventeenth century, when the Patriarch Paisios wrote a vita and a service. The development of the cult over the centuries (from the 13th to the 20th century) was a direct reflection of changing historical circumstances and the prevailing ideology of rulership.

Poles beatified and canonized by Pope John Paul II.

The study deals with the complicated question of the canonization of Metropolitan Makarij (1541–1563).

By the middle of the 1960s, only a couple of years after his defection from Hungary to Austria and West Germany, Ligeti had already achieved canonical status in Western circles of contemporary music, even if more in German speaking countries than in English speaking ones. As a by-product of this extremely quick process, Ligeti was identified with the new musical language of ,Klangkomposition' (sound-mass music) and micropolyphonic texture, an identification that has stuck with him since - the works written from 1958 to 1967, and Atmosphères in particular, remain by far his best known and most frequently cited compositions. If canonization in itself must be regarded to a certain degree as desirable to any composer, in Ligeti's case there were unwanted effects of this development. Although the composer himself contributed to it by his writings, his early identification as a composer of sound masses not only narrowed the reception of his oeuvre but affected his later self-image as a composer, too.

The article examines the validity of the Communion of Saints as a symbol of reconciliation. The article discusses the role of memory in the understanding of the Communion of Saints, examines the canonization of John Sarkander by Pope John Paul II, and describes the history of honoring Christian and Catholic saints. Statements from the Catholic, Lutheran, Reform, Anglican, and Roman Catholic churches on the honoring of the Communion of Saints are provided, and the effect of Sarkander's canonization on conflict between Catholics and Protestants is examined.

The article examines the role of German Catholic bishops in the reconciliation efforts between Germany and Poland after World War II. The author emphasizes that reconciliation between the German and Polish Catholic Churches preceded official government efforts and that the churches were instrumental in bringing about civil society initiatives and intellectual cooperation between the two countries. Other topics discussed include the role of Pope John Paul II as a mediator, the opposition of the Catholic Church to the Communist regime in Poland, and joint German-Polish religious initiatives such as the canonization of German nun Edith Stein and Polish friar Maximilian Kolbe.

The article discusses investigates canonization in motion pictures produced in Central and Eastern Europe. The author discusses models of motion picture production as characterized by a focus on aesthetics, literary adaptations and realism in Polish motion pictures and historical aspects of Slovakian and Slovenian motion pictures. Changes to the film industry in Hungary and the depiction of social reality in films produced in post-Yugoslavian states are discussed. The author comments on how motion pictures help establish culture in postcommunist countries.

The article presents a report from a July 2015 conference on the history of religion in eastern and central Europe hosted in Freising, Germany by the Institut für Kirchen und Kulturgeschichte der Deutschen in Ostmittel- und Südosteuropa e.V. historical society. Topics of presentations included the Sudetendeutsches Museum on the regional history of Sudeten Germans, the role of church societies in monitoring refugees and displaced persons, and canonization of German saint Dorothea von Montau.

The article offers a report from a January 19-21, 2012 conference in Munich, Germany on the history of Catholic holiness.
