In the second half of the 18th century, the influential Jesuit college named Theresianum ran an educational and scientific project for working systematically on the Lepidoptera occurring in the vicinity of Vienna, Austria. The teachers of the college prepared a document under the title “Ankündung eines systematischen Werkes von den Schmetterlingen der Wienergegend”, with the aim of informing the ecclesiastical and secular authorities about the goal of the enterprise. On the board of the Theresianum there were several Jesuits, who later were considered authorities concerning Lepidoptera, namely: Michael Denis SJ, Sigismund Hohenwart SJ, Ludwig Mitterpacher SJ, Matthias Piller SJ, and Ignaz Schiffermüller SJ. They were acknowledged by Lepidoptera patronyms in the “Ankündung”, which suggests that they may have been involved in this project. This “Ankündung” was mentioned in the book “Versuch eines Farbensystems” in 1771, which was authored by Ignaz Schiffermüller. Also from this book, it can be postulated that Ignaz Schiffermüller regarded himself as a responsible author or editor of the “Ankündung”. Printing of the “Ankündung” was delayed for unspecified reasons, the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 may have been one of them. Subsequently, Ignaz Schiffermüller managed to circulate a limited number of copies of the “Ankündung” in 1775, and then the same document appeared before a wider audience under the new title “Systematisches Verzeichniss der Schmetterlinge der Wienergegend” in 1776. Both these publications were at the time and ever since attributed to Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller, because some subsequent citations considered these two Jesuits as the principal authors.

„Agenda Parva” (1622) on esimene tervenisti säilinud raamat, mis sisaldab pikemaid eestikeelseid tekste. Teose lõunaeesti keele ortograafia erineb kardinaalselt tolle aja Põhja-Eesti alade saksapärasest kirjaviisist, kuid ka hilisemast lõunaeesti omast. Eriliselt paindlik kirjaviis sündis tänu Tartu jesuiitide kolleegiumi ja tõlkeseminari tööle aastail 1583–1625. Selles õppeasutuses töötanud, mitmelt Euroopa maalt valitud preestrid tundsid üsna hästi ka kohalikke keeli. Haridust said siin ka eesti soost kasvandikud, kelle hulgast mõned astusid hiljem ordusse. Baltimaades arenes välja jesuiitide kolleegiumide võrk, mis töötas Liivimaal kuni Rootsi aja alguseni (1622–1625). Koolide võrgustik poleks aga saanud nendel aladel tekkida ilma Transilvaaniast pärit Poola kuninga István Báthoryta (valitsemisaeg 1576–1586). Báthory oli suurepärane väejuht ja haritud humanist. Tema saavutatud sõjaline edu Ivan Julma vastu võimaldas alustada suurejoonelist rekatoliseerimistööd ka Liivimaal. Siinses artiklis tuleb juttu „Agenda Parva” kultuuriloolise tausta vähem tuntud üksikasjadest. Need mängisid otsustavat rolli selles, et tänu jesuiitide koolidele sündis lugejasõbralik ortograafia, millesarnast ei olnud Liivimaal kasutusel samal ajal ega ka hiljem kuni 19 sajandi alguseni.On the culture-historical background of the „Agenda Parva”. The „Agenda Parva” (1622) is the earliest fully surviving book which contains a longer text in Estonian. The orthography of its South- Estonian language differs totally from the Germanic spelling of the contemporary North-Estonian texts, as well as from the later South-Estonian spelling. What was behind this was the work of the Jesuit College and translators’ seminary in Tartu, 1583–1625. The monks who taught there, having been selected from several European countries, knew the local languages good, and many of their students who were native speakers of Estonian later became members of the Jesuit order as well. Until the Swedish occupation in Livland 1622–1625, there was a whole network of Jesuit colleges in the Baltic region. The formation of this network would have been unimaginable without Stephen Báthory, the Transylvanian-Hungarian king of Poland (1575–1585). He was an excellent strategist and a learned humanist. His military successes established the chance of recatholisation in Livonia. This article focuses on less known details from the culture-historical background of the „Agenda Parva”, which had, however, a crucial role in that by the Jesuit schooling and education an excellent scribal tradition could develop, that was unique not only in its age but as late as the 19th century.

The report shows the results of the Russian-Ethiopian historic and ethnographic expedition – a joint scientific project of two countries, successfully implemented in the early 1990s. Advanced results achieved by this expedition were much owed to participation of several leading Russian and Ethiopian scientific centers and universities – the Institute for African Studies, the Institute of Asian and African Countries at Lomonosov Moscow State University, Addis Ababa University and Institute for Ethiopian Studies, The Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations, and others. The participants of the expedition gathered and summarized a large body of data acquired during opinion polls, held in the course of the visits to a number of educational, medical, economic and manufacturing centers and organizations, including workshops, agricultural farms, banks, scientific centers. The collected scientific data has allowed, based on multi-factor analysis, to specify the nature of evolutionary processes in communal relations, efficiency of various aspects of federalism policy in a cosmopolitan country. Its value is reflected by applicability and sharp demand for a scientific view on one of the most troubled sides of social and political life of many African countries, and of the modern world. Based on the field research, a high number of articles and monographs have been prepared and published in the Russian Federation. They include “Report on Field Studies of Ethiopia Carried Out by Russian Historical, Ethnic, Sociological, Expedition, 1990–1992”, “Ethiopia: History, Culture and Ethnicity”, “Ethiopia: the Particular Features of Federalism”, “Drama in Modern Ethiopian Literature and Theatre”, “Mission in Ethiopia. African Policy of the USSR in the eyes of the Soviet Diplomat. 1956–1982”, two volumes of “Africa” encyclopedia and others.

The article considers the scientific diplomacy — a relatively new phenomenon in international practice — as a type of diplomacy which took shape quite recently, in the 21st century, with the advent of both the term itself, and the corresponding concepts, and the Foreign Ministry units of some countries. However, it is necessary to clarify the terminology and essence of this practice, which has a much more long history. At the present time, there is a reassessment of this historical experience, as well as another attempt to put science in the civil service in one more — diplomatic aspect, as it has already happened with the military, educational and some other areas. At the same time, the scientific community itself in this process has the opportunity to play not only the role of an object or a passive performer. The demand for science is clearly manifested in periods of war and conflict, which in various forms do not stop today. This causes the urgency of the problem. At the same time, the conscious activity of politicians and scientists is combined with objective, independently developing, incl. latently, unobviously, by the processes of political struggle and scientific knowledge, which leads to complex combinations of interrelations between politics and science. The study of such events and processes allows us to draw some conclusions regarding relations between science and diplomacy, to determine the trend of consistent “scientification” of diplomacy, like of any other sphere of society, the transition from diplomacy-mail (communication) through diplomacy-art to diplomacy-science, formulate a hypothesis that diplomacy in general is a scientific project.

A brief trip to Caquetà and Putumayo prov., South Colombia, during the month of November 2016, allowed us to discover two species new to science. The research was undertaken under the auspices of a joint educational/scientific project with the Apostolic Vicariate of the Consolata Fathers in the department of Putumayo (South Colombia).
