		Especially her point concerning the way paganism was imagined by Christian authors is a welcome reminder of the constructed reality one encounters in late antique Christian texts, which, e.g., F. Trombley had a tendency to overlook in his influential Hellenic Religion and Christianization (1993-1994).
		This is illustrated by two examples: the tenth homily of Asterius of Amasea, of which Chuvin criticizes the interpretation by F. Trombley (Hellenic Religion and Christianization, Leiden 1993-1994, Vol.
		293), and the Life of Porphyry of Gaza by Marc the Deacon, of which Chuvin accepts the general veracity.

		Yet, Quichua continued to be the main means of communication among the native population; and the conquerors continued learning it not only to facilitate their activities, but also for christianization and educational purposes.

		This is why, unlike the neighboring nations, which have established dates of Christianization (the Bulgarians - 865, the Serbs - 874, the Poles-966, the eastern Slavs - 988, the Hungarians - the year 1000), the Romanians do not have a fixed date of Christianization, as they were the first Christian nation in the region.
		At that time the National Romanian Party in Transylvania played an important role in asserting the Romanian national identity; the party was reorganized in 1881 and it became the standard bearer in the struggle to achieve recognition of equal rights of the Romanian nation and it the resistance against the denationalization projects.
		After the first success, the Romanian army was forced to abandon part of the country, Bucharest included and to withdraw to Moldavia, owing to the joint offensive of the armies in Transylvania, commanded by General von Falkenhayn and those of Bulgaria, commanded by Marshal von Mackensen.

		On the same theme, outright Nahua resistance to Spanish efforts at Christianization is seen in four case studies of Nahua "man-gods" in Serge Gruzinki's monograph (item bi 91013765).
		Two articles on the confessional as a tool in the Christianization process contribute to the increasingly sophisticated understanding of the Nahua worldview and its colonial transformation.
		The translation of Alfredo López Austin's work on prehispanic Nahua ideology and religious beliefs as they pertain to the human body is a welcome addition to the English-language literature on Nahua beliefs.

	The Baltic as a Common Frontier of Eastern and Western Europe in the Middle Ages - William L. Winter
		The purpose of this article is to discuss the Baltic Sea and Basin as a region in which there developed a common frontier of the culture of East and West European Civilization during the Middle Ages,1 particularly after the beginning of the Christianization of the region.
		(1) Before the Christianization of the Scandinavians and the Eastern Slavs the former had thrust themselves into the territory and affairs of the latter,38 and Scandinavian contingents were present as far south as Constantinople.
		Allying itself with North German territorial rulers, the Hansa contained for the moment the ambitious expansion of Waldemar,36 which however was to be resumed by his daughter Margaret and to reach a climax in the establishment of the Union of Kalmar (1397), bringing Norway, Sweden, and Denmark under the rule of the Danish royal house.

		Balthild's Christianization involves the unification of Austrasia, Neustria and Burgundy, her patronage and reformation of monasteries, and her personal and royal acts of Christian charity.
		This portrayal of the Christianization process does not follow the previous literary models of Clovis and Constantine who converted to Christianity in warñtime settinga and Christianized their nations through their conversions.
		Balthild's transformation of Francia is her act of saintly virtue; unlike previous queens, her sanctity does not rest on private acts of faith but on public acts as a queen.

		According to Frankfurter, contrary to much received wisdom, the Christianization of Roman Egypt was not accomplished by the overthrow of traditional religion.
		While cast in the form of a long monograph, the book could just as easily serve as a handbook for scholars interested in the details of Egyptian religion leading up to and during the period of Christianization.
		Frankfurter presents the basic outline of this thesis in the introductory chapter.

	Poland in the Classroom - Past and Present Regions of Poland
		In the early Middle Ages it was populated by a Slavic tribe which went by the name "Prussians." In their effort to convert the natives to Christianity at the end of a sword, the German Teutonic Knights depopulated the area which became part of their state.
		In later Polish historical references the term Ru� is usually qualified by an adjective that tends to differentiate which geographical area is under consideration.
		For instance, Ru� Biala, or White Rus, is the name that was used for area corresponding to the northeastern half of contemporary Belarus (Bialoru� in Polish) while the southwestern half of contemporary Belarus was called Ru� Czarna or Black Rus.

	The Origin of the Livonian War, 1558
		That hostile relationship had begun to change after the conversion of the Lithuanians to Christianity, and by 1500 the Germans in Livonia and the Lithuanians were allies facing a common foe in Russia.
		Far more significant was the Livonian intervention in 1548 to prevent German military experts from traveling to Russia to aid in the wars against Kazan and Astrakhan, an intervention the Tsar viewed as an unfriendly act; and, subsequently, talks between Poland-Lithuania and Livonia about a military alliance.
		This sudden interest in Livonia is not to be understood apart from Sigismund ll's similar interest in that country; it was part of the military and political confrontation of the two great empires, not an adventure separate from other Russian concerns.

		In 1628 he promised his aid to Christian IV of Denmark in the defense of Stralsund.
		His primary objects in invading Poland were to consolidate Swedish hegemony over the Baltic by acquiring Polish Livonia and to reduce the threat posed by the Catholic Sigismund III of Poland to Swedish Protestantism.
		In 1629, through the mediation of Cardinal Richelieu of France, he obtained the truce of Altmark with Poland, gaining a large part of Livonia and several good Baltic ports; a secret treaty with France promised a French subsidy if Gustavus entered Germany.

	Aelia Laelia Crispis
		As Maier notes, the mounds represented the persistance of the old cults despite Christianization, a parallel that was not lost to the later practice of alchemists.
		But the "nonsense" encrypted to render it persistant and subversive to Christianization is even more obvious as the Roman Florealia which not only etymologically includes "Aelia Laelia" as well as Lel and Po-Lel, but is also a spring festival.
		With this background in mind Aelia Laelia, however it was misconstrued by Jung (although hardly by Maier and Bernaud) is undone as nonsense (all my references to the Florealia and Lel and Po-Lel are drawn from the work of Jacob Grimm).

		They are the sole people who by their name - roman (deriving from the Latin romanus) - have preserved to this day the memory of the Seal of Rome, a memory to be perpetuated later in the name adopted in the 19th century by the nation- state - Romania.
		Romania is a Romance isle that has endured in a sea of Slavic and Finno-Ugric neighbours, in a region that has been devastated for more than a millennium (3rd-13th c.) by all the migratory waves known by Europe.

		In choosing Christianization, the Abodrite leaders made possible an end to the ancient hostilities between German and Slav in Mecklenburg and Pomerania.
		If Christianization was not achieved immediately, at least that country was opened to an ultimately successful missionary activity.
		Second, in reviewing the previous German attempts to conquer the Slavs along the Elbe, he concludes that by 1147 the Abodrites had only the alternatives of being conquered--and thereby being submerged politically and culturally--or becoming a Christian state within the Church and the Empire.
