The articles of the volume deal with the German-Polish relations in and after World War I until the first years of the Nazi regime.

The article deals with the different images and perceptions leading figures of the Nazi regime made themselves of Russia, and with their political consequences. A special focus lies on those of Adolf Hitler, Jospeh Goebbels, and Alfred Rosenberg.

The article deals with the question how scientific libraries and communities of the different Wikimedia portals (esp. Wikipeadia and Wikisource) can cooperate in order to enhance digital methods in regional studies research. It uses the examples of different projects the Saxon State and University Library (SLUB) Dresden undertakes with theses communities.

This study presents the results of a marine geophysical survey performed in the Igaliku fjord in southern Greenland in order to understand the harbour setting of the former Norse settlement Garðar (modern Igaliku). The aims of the survey were (a) to reconstruct the former coastline during the first centuries of the Norse settlement period (c.…[Read more]

If 2015 marked the elapse of 25 years since the birth of the web, 2016 marked the 20th anniversary of web archiving: of systematic attempts to preserve web content and make it accessible to scholars and the public. As such, the time is ripe to make an initial assessment of the history of the movement, and the patterns into which it has already…[Read more]

The abstract of my doctoral dissertation, which I defended on December 2018 at the University of Washington, with distinction.

Мало тога је познато о месопотамском образовању до краја 3. миленијума пре Христа. Из доступних података може се извести закључак да је у време Треће династије Ура (21. век пре Христа) писање учено “на послу”, у једном шегртском односу према искуснијем писару, истим начином којим су се учили и остали занати. Много већим бројем података распо…[Read more]

Дело које се налази пред читаоцима представља својеврсну новину на овим просторима. Приручник ове врсте, колико је мени познато, није до сада постојао на српском језику. Ова чињеница је, пре свега, последица недовољне заинтересованости, самим тим и неупућености у проблеме једног тако значајног цивилизацијског феномена као што је клинасто писмо.…[Read more]

Најстарији клинописни записи, пореклом из древног сумерског града Урука, датирају се на око 3200 година пре Христа. Почеци клинастог писма, међутим, сежу дубоко у прошлост, хиљадама година пре његове званичне појаве. Порекло му лежи у древном систему бројања и рачунања, коришћеном од стране раних пољопривредних култура древног Блиског истока…

Een humanistische lezing van Antoon Claeissens’ Feestmaal van stadsfunctionarissen (Brugge, 1574)

In addition to the enigmatic The Codomas, Henri Matisse distinguished three other images with a name, Icarus, Monsieur Loyal and Pierrot’s Funeral for his landmark livre d’artiste Jazz. While the characters Loyal, Pierrot and Icarus were readily identifiable and the images could be interpreted within the context of the difficulties of the Ger…[Read more]

In the valuation of works of art, the setting of a price is the last step, the result of a discursive attribution of quality; in this regard, aesthetic and commercial evaluations merge. The structure of this mediation is characterised by the concept of the “knowledge market;” knowledge that is ordered and able to spread is essential in order to…[Read more]

Digital images with metadata contain unique potential for research into the history of the art market. The embedding of digital images in a database allows for the possibility of an association with their historical context due to the presence of metadata, which includes economic data, such as the provenance chain, as well as information about…[Read more]

Henri Matisse’s images in Jazz, created during the disruption of the German Occupation of France, were embedded with symbols of cultural resistance, while his text, which he composed after the defeat of the Germans, reflected the transition to a post-Liberation France. The wartime symbols and allusions camouflaged within these images are readily r…[Read more]

The major change in the way library stores and maintains knowledge came with the advent of computers and new technologies. Further, origin of Internet and the development of World Wide Web (WWW) have opened up new vista for communication of scholarly information and helping Libraries to create and maintain information through Libraries’ W…[Read more]
