Lithuania's Image in Modem History Schoolbooks of Russia by Nerijus Šepetys

“…Most of the schoolbooks lack conceptuality, and this shortage is being (consciously or unconsciously) counterbalanced with mythical and ideological "leading ideas," such as political messianism, deterministic apologetics, and nationalism of a superstate.

Hagiographie liturgique et construction identitaire dans un néo-diocèse (XVIIIe-XIXe siècles). Le Proprium Sanctorum dans les bréviaires des diocèses français créés sous Louis XIV... by Philippe Castagnetti

“…Justifiable by the claim of the Church of France leaned on Monarchy to eradicate Protestantism, the creation under Louis XIV of the three dioceses of La Rochelle, Alais and Blois results in writing proper breviaries whose sanctoral gives importance to a lot of local saints with an apologetic purpose. The choice criterions of these saints and the litterary schemas used in matins for the biographical pieces reveal how the Church wants to keep the spirit of Counter Reformation alive by remembering the sacral mission of the king of France, increasing the conversion enterprise of the Huguenots and magnifying the cult of relics. …”
