Einige chronologische Bemerkungen zum Leben und Werk Brunos von QuerfurtZusammenfassungDer Lebenslauf und das Werk des hl. Bruno-Bonifatius von Querfurt weisen nur wenige sichere Anhaltspunkte auf. Hierzu zählt auf jeden Fall seine Reise von Kiew ins Land der Petschenegen, deren Beginn von W. Meysztowicz auf den 22. Februar 1008 datiert wurde. Bisher wurde dieses Datum von der Forschung übernommen. Der vorliegende Beitrag lehnt den von Meysztowicz ermittelten Tag ab und schlägt stattdessen den 29. Juni 1008 vor. Die Verschiebung des Reiseantritts um über vier Monate hat weitreichende Folgen sowohl für die Chronologie seiner letzten Lebensjahre als auch für die Datierung seiner Werke. Die weiteren Ausführungen sind dementsprechend der Darstellung dieser Folgen gewidmet. Some remarks on the chronology of life and works of Bruno of QuerfurtAbstractThe chronology of life and works of St. Bruno of Querfurt has few certain points of reference. One of the most certain is his expedition from Ruthenia to the Pechenegs’ country, dated by W. Meysztowicz to 22 February 1008 and accepted by later literature. The present paper both rejects the date proposed by Meysztowicz and suggested another date, 29 June 1008. Changing the date of his expedition to the Pechenegs by over four months has far-reaching implications for both the chronology of the last years of Bruno, and for dating his works. The remaining part of the paper is devoted to initial discussion of those implications.

The problem of relations with the nomadic peoples of the Black Sea steppes is one of the most important issues in Byzantine history. The medieval Greek-speaking Romans inherited this undisputed trouble from their ancient ancestors and had to deal with it until the end of the Empire. It is usually assumed that the long experience of contacts with steppe-dwellers meant that the Byzantine political elite gained a deep and multi-faceted knowledge of them. This study is an attempt at rethinking the communis opinio according to which precise and updated data had to be used by the Constantinopolitan diplomacy in relations with the nomadic partners. What I aim to prove, based on the material of written sources from between the 10th and 12th centuries, is that such opinions appear to have been scholarly superstitions.

Problem relacji z ludami koczowniczymi stepów czarnomorskich należy do najważniejszych zagadnień historii Bizancjum. Średniowieczni greckojęzyczni Rzymianie odziedziczyli ten niewątpliwy kłopot po swych antycznych przodkach i musieli borykać się z nim po kres istnienia imperium. Przyjmuje się zwykle, że długie doświadczenie kontaktów ze stepowcami sprawiło, że bizantyńska elita polityczna pozyskała głęboką i wieloaspektową wiedzą na ich temat. Celem niniejszego stadium jest ponowne przemyślenie communis opinio, według której precyzyjne i zaktualizowane dane miały być wykorzystywane przez dyplomację konstantynopolitańską w relacjach z koczowniczymi partnerami. W oparciu o materiał źródeł pisanych z X-XII wieku zamierzam dowieść, że tego rodzaju poglądy wydają się naukowymi przesądami.

From its emergence in the 7th century until its fall in 965, the Khazar Khaganate played a decisive role among the tribes and peoples settled in Eastern Europe. The Pax Khazarica contributed to the stabilization of ethnic and political relations in the region, which in turn gave the khaganate a high status in contacts with the Byzantine Empire and the Abbasid Caliphate. The Khazars benefited from the favorable geographic location and the benefits they gained from participating in long-distance trade. With the arrival of Scandinavian newcomers and the development of their settlement in the northern and north-eastern part of the Ruthenian lands (the area around Lake Ladoga and the upper Volga basin), contacts with them played an increasingly important role in the history of the Chaganate in the 9th-10th centuries. Oleg’s taking of power in Kiev and the territorial development of the Ruthenian state was a crucial moment. Although the Khazars maintained a strong position among the peoples and tribes of Eastern Europe during the first half of the 10th century, it was not without difficulties. The reason was the growing activity of the Scandinavians not only among the Slavs who settled in the basin of the Dnieper, Oka and the upper Volga, but also in the lands that were the immediate hinterland of the khaganate (Black Sea region, the mouth of the Volga and the Caspian region). In addition to merchant expeditions, the Varangians organized – with great panache and range - raids of a looting nature (e.g. Prince Igor’s campaigns). It cannot be ruled out that they inuenced the nature of the relationship between the Khazars and their dependent tribes in Eastern Europe. The collapse of the Khaganate, which took place as a result of the war campaigns undertaken by Prince Sviatoslav (965, 969), may indicate a more significant (than previously assumed) internal weakening of the Khazar state. Undoubtedly, it was related to the change in the current system of political and ethnic relations in Eastern Europe, and the actions of the Kiev princes played a decisive role. Another reason was the change in the course of the existing long-distance trade routes, and thus the reduction of the influence that the Khazars obtained from their control. Despite the progress in research on the history of the khaganate, little is known about its relations with the Scandinavians settled in Eastern Europe, as well as with Slavic tribes, including those remaining outside the Khazar sphere of influence, and the consequences of the fall of Khazar domination for the region’s economy. The research conducted so far shows that the influence of the Khazars, although not confirmed in all spheres, was more intense, as evidenced by the reception of the kagan title in relation to the Ruthenian rulers in the 10th-11th centuries.
