Zato v analizih, da je informacija, da v 1040 se je vse konflikte, kaj je Evrat Johanes in Engelmar, kaj je tukaj vse. In tukaj imamo informacije, da, na različnjih različnjih, bolje postavljenje in šeštje, nekaj bolj bolj šeštje, nekaj je tudi. Zdaj je poslovo, da se je vse našličnje, da se je vse našličnje stavljenje in šeštje, in se je vse koncentrujno všličnje in šeštje. Zdaj je tudi dve inšlične dokumente, ki je v 1040, nekaj je danes z koncentrujnji, of Azika and Vilpuga, they were the daughter and wife of the first Christian Margreth Ulich from the family of Weimar Olamundan, and they donated some lands to the monastery with these donations in large territory, but as it was quite miscally proved already in the 1960s by historian Danilo Kran, it seems that they were both forgeries from the early 14th century when Polish bishop Bonifatso tried to enlarge to get in possession of these lands and enlarge them. After the 11th century, you can follow quite a dynamic historical development of this monastery. It was till the mid of the 13th century in the hands of Kamaldoliji, the order after that it was abandoned and came into the hands of Polish dioceses. At the beginning of the 14th century it was for short time in the hands of Templars, and by the end of the 14th century it came again in the hands of Kamaldoliji, the order essentially the monastery of Samikele in Izola from Venice. It's interesting that even in this period these poor donations from Vilpuga and Azika were very much used to prove the right of the land, and for example this map that was drawn in the 15th century showing the territory of the monastery, we can see here that on the very borders of this of the land they drew the alleged graves of the Vilpuga and Azika. Monastery stayed in the hands of Kamaldoliji, the order till the end of the 18th century went also to the Kualiti family. This dynamical historical development is very well visible on the structures of the monastery itself, and it's visible that it was forming through a very long period of time with very dynamic changes. For example the oldest building of this complex is the small church of St. Mary. It was originally built as a detached building, but during the period of time it had several very large construction works. Based on its characteristics it can be dated in a period from sixth till the eighth century, especially based on the apps that was on the outside, it has this polygonal shape and inside semicircular shape, and churches of these characteristics were built in Istria during this period. Next to it there is a church of St. Michael built in the 11th century, and it basically incorporated the smaller church in its body, and at that period these doors were opened on the place of the older windows. We still have these three windows, original windows on the south wall with the stone transins, and remains of the wall paintings on the eastern wall. Some other original elements from Monastery at Stir Prizerv, for example these columns on south wing of the cloister and the cister, and some parts of these buildings of the south wing of the monastery are still preserved, and the youngest element of the monastery is this collated palace built in the 18th century, when it destroyed some parts of the monastery itself. Based on all of these facts, most of the authors who were studying this subject suggested that St. Michael Monastery was founded in the 11th century, or to be more precise in the second quarter of the century, and they of course took into account the fact that an older sacred building existed at the same location, which was defined as the cemetery church of the nearby settlements, in particular the already mentioned calisela. But the archaeological research conducted over the past two years has yielded new data that shed fresh light on these topics and opened a window to a new interpretation. At the beginning of the research it was noted that on the north facade of these buildings from the south wing of the monastery it is visible that it's got several different building phases. Based on this the analysis of standing structures was conducted and it was followed by the archaeological research that of course confirmed the stratigraphic complexity of the building and showed that the initial structure functioned at the eastern section of the south wing of the monastery. This was a building that measured some nine by four point five meters at the ground plane and only the parts of this north wall of the building are preserved in the elevation while the other ones are preserved only in the foundations. On the north wall we can see these wall openings that are very similar to those that we have on the smaller church of St. Mary. For example these remains of these windows that we can see above the doors in the eleventh century when they are compared to the windows on the building that are very similar or for example we have on the both buildings these doors that have, I don't know how to call this, this mushroom shape, I don't know how to call it. That is quite common for the building in Sanistria in the period from the sixth to the ninth century. They are different, of course this shape here is more common in the earlier periods or from the sixth to the eighth century while this one is less common but we can find very similar doors on the tower, nearby tower of Tornina where the first phase of the building is dated in the early ninth century. Small archaeological finds confirm these dates and you can compare, for example, these examples here with some other material from other archaeological sites on an ultimatiatic they can be also dated in a period between seventh and ninth or the beginning of the tenth century. Beside this one of the charcoal samples taken and analyzed using the radar cover methods yield, the result suggests that the construction or use of the building in the period from the late eighth to the tenth century means the period that precedes the large scale construction of the eleventh century. So what we know for now based on these excavations that before the eleventh century there was this church and another building next to it and this perimeter part of this perimeter wall was also found during the excavation. But in the eleventh century this complex saw a significant renovation. This was the period that certainly saw the erection of the monumental St. Michael church with a form unique on the eastern peninsula. But it seems that at the same time the expansion of the residential part of the monastery took place when the outer residential structure was incorporated into the newly built south wing of the monastery. Also it seems that at the same time the arcade of the monastery was formed along the southeast in the west side of the courtyard. In archeological layers dated to eleventh century we see some changes of course in the archeological finds but activity in the area of the monastic complex in the course of the eleventh century can however be followed with much greater ease to the preserved structures remains and fragments of architectural stonework at the side. For example fragments of frescoes exhibits characteristics of eleventh century. Also study this topic noted that these paintings is most similar to the contemporary art of the southern Germany and although we don't have very much preserved wall paintings in this period in southern Germany it is noted that shaping of these figures especially shaping of the drapery in the figures is very similar to those in the paintings of German scriptoria of the eleventh century such as those at Echternach, Regensburg and Salzburg. On the other side is window openings of the church have the already mentioned transin for which we find very good cooperation or almost similar almost exact transins on the another exceptional monument of early Romani architecture in Istria St. Mars in church nearby Sveti Lovreč. This is a three isle basilica with three projekti epses typologically very similar to a number of other sacred structures erected in the course of the eleventh century in northern Italy especially around the middle of the century the construction of which is often associated with the church reform that saw their high points in the period in the work of the Benedictine communities. The fragments of architectural stonework and the frescoes preserved in the church are also consistent with this dating range. So we can see that not only that these transins are almost identical to those in in St. Michael but also for example these imposts are identical to those that we can see in the arcades of the cloister in St. Michael. These frescoes are again connected in southern German territories of the eleventh century. All of this further corroborates the dating of the St. Michael church to about the mid of the eleventh century and this also supporting the intensity of the information about alleged inscription that dated building of the church in the year 1041. However, this new information suggest that the roots of the monastery should be thought in the earlier period at least at ninth century, the period of the formation of the oldest Benedictine monasteries on the eastern peninsula. There's not much of them earlier than eleventh century but for example here in the territory around Robin you can see that several of them are dated to to the ninth century. Once again this shows how the archaeological research can often change conclusions made upon historical data and analysis of standing structures and move the roots of medieval monuments in a little earlier or even sometimes in even later period. Similar thing happened for example with the monastery of Sveta Maria Velipe njirpale, that also after the archaeological research was dated to the ninth century. In course of the eleventh century this monastery saw a significant transformation, very likely prone by the Benedictine reforms of the time, the Maldolisi reforms of all reinforced by the presence of the Saint Roman himself in the monastery's immediate neighborhood. Bearing witness to this is the later affiliation of the monastery with this religious order. Saint Michael fits in that sense in a very dynamic building activity connected with the Benedictine order in the inistia at that time. From around 50 Benedictines monasteries known in peninsula most of them around 80% were founded exactly in 11 or in 12 century. But what is particular is the fact that this is a structure formed in a manner that departs from the sacred architecture of the early Romanist period as it developed from the local traditions of early medieval architecture on the Istrian peninsula. The Saint Michael church like Saint Martin's in nearby Sveti Lovreč exhibits architectural attributes that find their models in the north of the Apennine peninsula and in southern German regions. Also point to southern German influences are the decorations preserved in both churches built in about same time. So reasons for connection between Italy and Istria is not difficult to find because they are connected for a very long time already from Roman period. But reasons for connection between south Germany and Istria we can of course try to find in contemporary political situation because Istria was deeply involved in political and cultural sphere of south Germany and northern Italy because already from 10th century it was a part of Vavarian later on of Carincia until in the 11th century it became a separate county. But even in that period all members of political and ecclesiastic elite were of German ethnic element. For example all Istrian margaris were Germans and what is very important all Achillean patriarchs beginning from the start of the 11th century in the next two centuries were elected exclusively from the German aristocracy and they were a very strong link political, cultural and religious link between Germany north Italy and Istria. But the key person probably for this link was the several time mentioned bishop Engelmar who held a position from the 1028 to 1041. But prior to this he was a monk at the monastery in Niedel Artrach, so in southern Germany and his image which is quite rare is shown preaching in a benedictional created in the scriptorium of the Regensburg monasteries. The Engelmar benedictional points to the very strong ties between Porach and Regensburg which must have been reflected in collaboration through the artisanal traits and workshop that furnished and painted sakhral buildings in the territory of Porach's diocese of that period. So just to conclude although a lot of research was done and a lot of very important works were written about the history economy and the architecture of St. Michael's Monastery, recent excavation have shown that this complex still have a big scientific potential especially in means of archeology research that could if continued bring some very important new insight about the process of formation, development and function of medieval periods in this part of Europe in the medieval period in 11th century. Thank you much for your attention.
