Rad se zasniva mahom na raščlambi arhivskih vrela iz Državnoga arhiva u Trstu o planovima, izgradnji i puštanju u rad svjetionika u Savudriji u noći sa 17. na 18. travnja 1818. godine. Tijekom prvih ...godina rada za rasvjetu svjetionika koristio se destilirani plin, koji se dobivao od ugljena iz istarskih ugljenokopa, što je bilo iznimno tehnički inovativno na razini Habsburške Monarhije i svijeta. Uzmemo li u obzir primjenu te vrste postrojenja za rad svjetionika, prema podacima kojima autor trenutačno raspolaže proizlazi da u tom području svjetioniku Savudrija pripada posve zanemareni svjetski primat. Rad donosi nove podatke o plinskome postrojenju i Antonu Domeku, koji ga je izgradio.
This study is mostly based on analysis of archival data from the State Archives in Trieste concerning the planning, construction, and opening of the lighthouse in Savudrija in the night of 17/18 ...April 1818. In the beginning, the lighthouse used distilled gas to produce its light; it was obtained from coal from the Raša Coal Mines. This process was exceptionally technologically innovative on the level of the Habsburg Monarchy and even the world, since a similar system of public city lighting was introduced in Vienna only in 1818, and in London in 1813. Considering the application of this facility for the functioning of a lighthouse, and according to the data available to the author at this time, it appears that Savudrija achieved a first in this area, which has since been completely forgotten. Namely, according to existing literature, the first lighthouse of this sort began functioning in 1865, when John Richardson Wigham designed a gas illumination system for the Baily lighthouse near Dublin. The gas lamp in the Savudrija lighthouse began to function 47 years earlier. However, since gas distillation facilities were still in their infancy at this time and had numerous technological weaknesses – for example, the lamps were prone to soot due to the lack of a sophisticated gas filtering and by-product separation system – and, despite the fact that this form of illumination was somewhat cheaper than oil-based systems, it was replaced by that older and simpler type of illumination in 1823.
Although historiography (as part of the local history of the Labin region and its coal mines) and scholarly literature from other disciplines (primarily the history of architecture) have addressed ...different aspects of the construction of the miners’ town in Raša, this paper focuses on the reasons, circumstances, and processes of infrastructure construction in Arsia / Raša, based both on a critical evaluation of the present research and on a study of archival sources. It has been observed that Raša – built within 547 days from April 1936 to November 1937 – was not primarily a project of the fascist regime intended to serve its glorification, but was constructed by the administration of the coal mine due to its need of new workers, in the context of increasing the production of coal for industrial and transportation purposes (railroad, navy, and maritime transport) at the time when approximately 1,000,000 tons or 10 % of the Italian needs for this energy resource were pumped from the Raška Basin. The town’s construction was preceded by extensive land reclamation works in the area.
Rad stavlja u korelaciju stanje, odnosno razvijenost i dinamiku istarskoga društva početkom 19. stoljeća i sliku stanja koju se može steći na temelju materijala sadržanih u katastarskim operatima ...Katastra Franje I., kao i značajke tako prikupljenih podataka u odnosu na druge zemljišne isprave i na kasnije praćenje gospodarskih, demografskih i inih kretanja u Istri i u Habsburškoj Monarhiji. Sagledavaju se strukture i elementi organizacije društva prisutni još od srednjega i ranoga novog vijeka te oni implementirani u razdoblju koje je neposredno prethodilo sastavljanju Katastra Franje I. (tijekom prve i druge austrijske uprave, te napose za vrijeme one francuske). Isto tako, vrednuje se katastarski materijal – od metodologije prikupljanja i verificiranja podataka, preko njihove obrade, do konačne slike, odnosno procjena temeljenih na tim podacima – te vrijednost katastarskih podataka i procjena za razvoj statistike i sagledavanje povijesti Istre 19. stoljeća.
The paper correlates the state, i.e. the development and dynamics of Istrian society at the beginning of the 19th century, with the state that depicted in the materials contained in the cadastral records of the Cadastre of Francis I, as well as the characteristics of the data thus collected in relation to other land documents, and the way economy, demography and other trends in Istria and the Habsburg Monarchy were monitored. The structures and elements of the organization of society present since the Middle and Early Modern Ages and those implemented in the period immediately preceding the compilation of the Cadastre of Francis I (during the first and second Austrian administrations, and especially during the French one) are reviewed. Also, the cadastral material is evaluated – from the methodology of data collection and verification, through the processing, to the final product, i.e. estimates based on these data – and the value of cadastral data and estimates for the development of statistics and an overview of the history of Istria in the 19th century.
Lo scopo di questo saggio consiste nel porre in correlazione lo stato, cioè il grado di sviluppo e le dinamiche della società istriana esistenti agli inizi del XIX secolo con l’immagine che ne traspare dai materiali contenuti negli operati catastali del Catasto franceschino. Sono state considerate anche le caratteristiche dei dati rilevati in confronto agli altri documenti concernenti la materia terriera e lo studio dei movimenti economici e demografici svoltisi nei periodi successivi in Istria e nella Monarchia degli Asburgo. Bisogna considerare le strutture e gli elementi organizzativi della società presenti sin dal medioevo e dall’età moderna, come pure quelli che sono stati implementati durante il periodo immediatamente precedente alla compilazione del Catasto franceschino (durante la prima e la seconda dominazione austriaca, e specialmente durante quella francese). Inoltre, è stato valutato il materiale catastale, a partire dalla metodologia della raccolta e della verifica dei dati, inclusa la loro elaborazione e considerato il quadro finale. Sono cioè state considerate anche le stime ricavate da tali dati, e il loro valore per l’aspetto della statistica e lo studio della storia dell’Istria del XIX secolo.
U ovome su radu prikazani odnosi istarskoga poluotoka i grada Trsta kroz povijest, s težištem na razdoblju od 18. stoljeća do danas. Utvrđena je uloga Trsta kao gospodarskog i trgovačkog ...gravitacijskog središta za područje Istre, njegova uloga značajnog crkvenog i upravnog središta, odredišta radnih i inih iseljavanja te kulturnog i prosvjetnog središta. Raščlamba odnosa Istre i Trsta navodi na zaključak da su tijekom čitavog tog razdoblja bili premreženi neraskidivim vezama.
Inspired by a seminal Viseslav Aralica's book on Matrix Croatica 1935-1945 (Croatian Institute of History, Zagreb 2009, 221 pp.), the author strives to follow several analytical lines. After an ...introduction concerning current status of Matrix Croatica, the thematic and methodological relevance of the work is explained. It is also a starting point for - partly critical - discussion on some problems of intellectual history, especially on causation and the inclusion of details in general (generic) terms. Among other things, holding opinion that up to date research is insufficient to conclude that the Croatian form of interwar nationalism was of equal nature to contemporary European movements and ideologies under the common name of fascism, the author suggests that studies on the Croatian nationalistic intellectuals and Independent State of Croatia in general should include additional political and legal science categories, as well as greater attention to the idiographic historical substance, individual perspectives and disagreements.
