Intro: Two attempts to become a historian of Eastern Europe “On Trying to be a Historian of Eastern Europe” was the title of the 1988 essay1 in which the prominent British historian of Russia and Eastern Europe, Hugh Seton-Watson, offered a kind of balance sheet of his long professional life at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) at the University of London—in a volume edited by his students as a commemorative publication to their mentor. The essay begins with the following sentence: “I have been trying for more than thirty years to find out, but I am still not at all sure, what is meant by a historian or by eastern Europe.”2 He mentioned, among the reasons for these doubts, the influence that the dramatic events of the twentieth century in Europe had had on his thinking as a historian and the increasing vagueness or even emptiness of the Slavic paradigm itself, i.e., the questions surrounding the precise meaning of the adjective Slavonic in the name of his institute.3 I myself have striven to become or be an Eastern European historian, following in Seton-Watson’s admittedly large footsteps, but I can understand his doubts about the Slavic paradigm, though I am a Slavicist myself.4 I do not, however, share his uncertainties concerning the profession of the historian. That the historian is responsible for the past and analysis of the past, and in a certain way also for interpretation

This paper discusses the problem of the appearance of the Serb ethnonym in the Balkans, as evidenced in the ninth-century Frankish Royal Annals and the mid-tenth-century Byzantine treaty De Administrando Imperio. Written evidence is analysed together with available archaeological information in order to criticize currently dominating ideas concerning the Serb migration in the seventh century, as well as to offer different perspectives on the origins of the early medieval Serb ethnonym in the Balkans.

The main goal of Historical Studies on Central Europe is to provide an interdisciplinary and international platform for disseminating new findings on Central Europe and enhancing the dialog on it. In this spirit, the editors have decided to launch a series asking prominent scholars of the region: their personal motivations for choosing Central Europe as their field; their view on central questions of methodology, trends, and definition, as well as their opinion on the status of the field. Our first discussant is Pieter M. Judson,1 who currently holds a chair in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century History at the European University Institute in Florence. He is the author of numerous prize winning books on fundamental aspects of Habsburg Central Europe, including Exclusive Revolutionaries. Liberal Politics, Social Experience, and National Identity in the Austrian Empire, 1848–1914 (1996), Guardians of the Nation. Activists on the Language Frontiers of Imperial Austria (2006), and The Habsburg Empire. A New History (2016), with the latter translated into twelve languages. For ten years, Professor Judson has been one of the editors of the Austrian History Yearbook, and currently serves as President of the Central European History Society of North America.
中欧历史研究的主要目标是提供一个跨学科的国际平台，传播有关中欧的新发现，并加强有关中欧的对话。本着这种精神，编辑们决定发起一个系列，询问该地区的杰出学者:他们选择中欧作为研究领域的个人动机;他们对方法论、趋势和定义等核心问题的看法，以及他们对该领域现状的看法。我们的第一位讨论者是Pieter M. Judson，他目前在佛罗伦萨的欧洲大学学院担任19和20世纪历史的教授。他是许多关于哈布斯堡王朝中欧基本方面的获奖书籍的作者，包括独家革命者。《1848-1914年奥地利帝国的自由政治、社会经验和民族认同》(1996)，《国家守护者》。《奥地利帝国语言前沿的积极分子》(2006)和《哈布斯堡帝国》。《新历史》(2016)，后者被翻译成12种语言。贾德森教授十年来一直担任《奥地利历史年鉴》的编辑之一，目前担任北美中欧历史学会主席。

The history of the Reformation has been centre stage for many years due to the 500th anniversary of Luther’s famous 95 Theses in 2017 and the rich flow of projects and conferences, including the REFO500 umbrella project that was set up to mark the jubilee. Martin Christ’s monograph stands out from this rich crop on two accounts—biographical and regional. Both of these strengths feature prominently in the title and make it possible for the author to add novel insights to the history of Early Modern Christianity

The paper examines literary aspects of the old Czech chronicle in verses by the so-called Dalimil. It inquires into various approaches to the chronicle by both medieval and (early) modern readers. The paper argues that medieval authors read and interpreted the chronicle from diverse perspectives and emphasized different dimensions of the narrative. The second redaction of the chronicle from the second third of the fifteenth century, known for stressing the chauvinistic nationalism of the text, was one possible way of reading the chronicle. Postmedieval editors and interpreters of the chronicle saw it, on the contrary, almost exclusively as a product of medieval anti-Germanism in Bohemia. While contemporary research considers the chronicle primarily as a political manifest, the paper develops the inquiry, approaching the chronicle and medieval historiography in general as multi-layered literature combining religious, identity-centred, political, and imaginative aspects of history writing.
