The article finds out the peculiarities of the formation and development of consular institutions from the ancient times to the Middle Ages. The article deals with the specifics of the institutions that carried out the corresponding functions in the ancient Greek policies (including those located in the southern territories of modern Ukraine), ancient Rome, the leading states of medieval Europe. The foundations of the consular service in the Ancient Age were discovered at the Ancient Greek Institute of Proxenia, the Old Roman institutions, clientele (patronage) and praetorians (practors in the affairs of perigins). Subsequently, during the Middle Ages, on this basis a consultative institute emerged and began to act as representatives of the state in the trade and political sphere, first of all, by ensuring that the authorities of the country of residence adhere to the rules of local law and international customs against their fellow citizens, while protecting their personal and property rights and interests.

This work is introduction to and a general survey of the treatises written in Latin between the 3rd and 5th centuries that transmitted the ancient Greek musical theory to the Middle Ages. Throughout these pages there will be a concise, eclectic and panoptic view of Latin authors who dedicated their work or part of their work to notions related to the harmonic science of the ancient Greeks. This study will show a “selection” of certain aspects of Greek music theory in its step to the Middle Ages, such as the gradual loss of the vocal and instrumental musical notation, as well as the progressive importance that Rhythmic and Metrics were acquiring into the musical treatises of this era.

Musical Forms

One area where it is particularly difficult to bridge the gap between text and performance is ancient music. This article notes that people today know very little about how ancient music sounded. It is much easier to relate ancient theories of music to other intellectual endeavours, such as the study of physics, mathematics, or ethics, than to investigate its connections with the work of practicing musicians. There is a paradox here, because ancient musical theories later inspired the development of musical forms on the part of performing artists. Modern opera, most famously, originated in an attempt at reconstructing ancient Greek music and drama. Greek musical theory laid the foundations for many aesthetic and theoretical speculations of later antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance.

At the highest altitude, the issue addressed in this paper has to do with the epistemological status of criticism in Western philosophy. What type of knowledge results from criticism and what is the basis on which criticism may be judged as valid or invalid? It is arguable that criticism as a legitimate attitude toward the intellectual and aesthetic products of a society (including the social system itself) did not exist prior to ancient Greek philosophy. The pre-Socratic philosophers were possibly the first to employ criticism in something like the sense that we use this term today. It is not at all clear that traditional societies, including the remnants of traditional societies that exist today, either tolerated or encouraged criticism of their central beliefs, myths and values, and in the middle ages criticism dropped out of sight altogether, virtually until the enlightenment. Some idea of what happened to would-be critics of Christian societies in the middle-ages can be gained by observing some of the Islamic societies today with their enthusiasm for punishing heretics with death sentences.

AbstractThe intention of this article is to present the oldest surviving work of military art of the Greek antiquity written in the mid-fourth century B.C. by of the author known today as Aeneas Tacticus. In 1609 Isaac Casaubon, its first editor, gave it the Latin title Commentarius de toleranda obsidione, How to Survive under Siege. Aeneas Tacticus was an experienced general on the battlefield, and had an equally solid theoretical training based on treatises of warfare which undoubtedly existed before his own, but were less fortunate and have not reached us. The study of this manual reveals that Aeneas Tacticus wrote or designed to write at least five books on military themes and information exists from other sources that he might have written three more books on the subject. Thus, all these works could have formed a Corpus Aeneanum, comparable in value to Clausewitz’s famous work On War. Aeneas’s work was highly appreciated and extremely useful for commanders and strategists of the Antiquity and the Middle Ages and was used and cited by all the authors of treatises on siege until the era of pre-modern warfare.
