Bīskapu kapu pieminekļi kā Livonijas vēstures avots

Abstract

Maģistra darba „Bīskapu kapu pieminekļi kā Livonijas vēstures avots” mērķis ir analizēt Livonijas perioda bīskapu kapu pieminekļus, lai skaidrotu, ko pieminekļu veidols liecina par Livonijas sabiedrības priekšstatiem par mirušo piemiņu un bīskapa lomu sabiedrībā. Darbā rezultātā tika novērots, ka bīskapa politiskā darbība, virziens vai tas, ka bīskaps bijis savu zemju laicīgais zemes kungs, neietekmēja to, kā bīskaps tika reprezentēts kapu piemineklī. Kapu pieminekļi apliecina, ka bīskapi Livonijā apzinājās sevi kā daļu no noteiktas sabiedrības grupas (oratores), un ka bīskaps savā nāvē tika identificēts ne tikai ar amatu, kuru ieņēma, bet arī ar diecēzi, kuras gans viņš bija. Darba gaitā novērots, kā bīskapu kapu pieminekļus Livonijā ietekmēja latīņu kristietības pasaules priekšstati un tradīcijas.

Master theses “Grave monuments of bishops as historical source of history of Livonia” is aimed to analyze grave monuments of bishops from period of Livonia, to explain how these monuments comment on a world view of society they were made in, and role of bishops in society of Livonia. In course of work it was observed that there is no direct impact on grave monuments that would depend on political direction of bishop, or from fact that a certain bishop was or was not also a landlord in his bishoprics. Grave monuments represents that bishops identified themselves as part of certain group in society (oratores), and that in his death he was identified not only with position he was in, but also with the name of his diocese. In course of work, it was observed how the world view and traditions of Latin Christendom had direct impact on memorial culture in Livonia.
