Abstract
between the Sava and the Drava rivers, with an emphasis on the Romanesque. Such issues are: the nature oj art in the medieval Slavonia, its place within the culture oj the Pannonian basin, and oj European cultures and subcultures, with a special rejerence to the "Reniassance ojthe 12'h century;" identification oj existing Romanesque buildings and oj the sites oj those which have disappeared. It deals with the reconstruction of territorial organization (cultural landscape), including identification of early units of church and political organization. Furthermore, it examines the role of sculpture and wall-painting, and that of the architecture in wood as a potential source of models. Separately, the place of the Pre-Romanesque monuments is evaluated, and, finally, the questions of preservation, revitalization, and presentation of monuments. In conclusion it is stated that the medieval Slavonia is not a "tabula rasa" in terms of art and culture, but a rich segment of our cultural heritage, a promised land of further investigation.
