The purpose of this study is to determine how Galician Jewish emigration during the period 1869-1880 was affected by the Austrian Constitution of 21 December 1867, and in particular by Article IV of said constitution's Fundamental Law Concerning the General Rights of Citizens which granted freedom of movement for the first time to Habsburg subjects. Various demographic, economic, political and societal factors particular to migration, to Galicia and to Galician Jewry are examined in order to establish the effect of the 1867 Constitution on Galician Jewish emigration.

The dissertation is dedicated to the history of the East European Karaite Jews (Karaites), a highly interesting ethno-religious Jewish group. It focuses on the Karaites of Galicia (Ukraine) from 1772 to 1945. The first four chapters of the dissertation are devoted to the Austrian period in the history of the Galician Karaites (1772-1918). Chapter One demonstrates that the Karaites represent an unparalleled example of preferential treatment of a Jewish community by the Austrian administration. Chapter Two provides readers with an overview of the "internal" history of the Karaite communities of Halicz and Kukizow. Chapter Three outlines the religious and ethnographic customs and traditions of the Galician Karaites. Chapter Four focuses on relations between the Karaites and their ethnic neighbours - the Slavs and the Ashkenazic Jews. Chapter Five is dedicated to the history of the Karaites in Polish Galicia between the two world wars. It is in this period that the Karaites started to become more and more separated from the Ashkenazic Jews. Chapter Six reconstructs the process of dejudaization and Turkicization of the Karaite community, highlighting the role of Seraja Szapszal, the Karaite ideological leader. It ends with an analysis of the history of the community during the period of the Nazi occupation. Chapter Seven outlines the ultimate decline of the Galician community after the Second World War. It also describes the current state of the Galician Karaite community and its historical legacy. The conclusion provides some essential remarks regarding the position of the Karaite case within the wider framework of Jewish and European history.

Lwiw (Lemberg) ist eines der ältesten Zentren der Musikkultur in der Ukraine.

Es ist unmöglich, in einem Artikel ein ausführliches Bild der ukrainischen Musikwissenschaft aufzuzeigen. Unser Ziel besteht darin, dem Leser einen Einblick in das vielfältige Panorama der heutigen ukrainischen Musikwissenschaft zu vermitteln. Dabei ist es nötig, auch die gesellschaftlich-sozialen Umstände zu nennen, die direkt oder indirekt auf die gegenwärtige Situation in der ukrainischen Musikwissenschaft Einfluß haben und den Geist der Zeit bestimmen.

Die ukrainische Symphonie ist im Laufe von zwei Jahrhunderten einen komplizierten Weg des Werdens und der Entwicklung gegangen. Das Ergebnis ist eine nationale symphonische Schule, die die musikalische Kunst der Ukraine mit einer großen Anzahl von Meisterwerken bereichert hat.
