Abstract

Anglo-Saxon studies include a large number of scientific disciplines and deal with the explanation of the civilization, culture and religion of the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Great Britain, in the period from the 5th to the 11th century AD. Multidisciplinarity indicates the great civilizational and cultural level of this people, so it is very important to talk about this medieval culture from several aspects in order to draw conclusions that would be relevant and have connections with later historical periods, until today. In addition, it is important to see how this civilization is viewed by researchers and scientists from both the East and the West, so that all conclusions are impartial and can be compared with the different consequences in the history of Eastern and Western nations. In this paper, the main goal will be the presentation of researchers from the field of Anglo-Saxon studies from the East (Israel, Russian Federation, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia) and their conclusions.

SUMMARY

Anglo-Saxon studies does not involve only one geographical entity in a particular time period, so research in the domain of the studies in question should be multidisciplinary (starting with language and literature and then through historical circumstances - here is the use of auxiliary historical disciplines). emphasized - to illuminate the theological basis of the novel in the dogmas of the Church in the West in the second millennium) and to systematically divide it into periods in order to more easily analyze the Anglo-Saxon characters involved in the events and their influence on other events in Western Europe. First of all, key words for the scholar in the East should be chosen, which will further lead to hypothetical questions and premises in order to arrive at the conclusion of the Eastern scholar. Initially, the key word within Anglo-Saxon studies that would relate to the relationship between East and West may be filioque. An analysis of all the collected and systematically arranged knowledge about the origins of the use of the theological doctrine of the filioque in the Western Church during the early medieval period, both general and that in some specific area or aspect of the study of history, would condition conclusions about the early relations between Germanic and Latin Christians.So from these few unfamiliar perspectives alone, with particular emphasis on one key word that is significant for the researcher from the East, in the context of future research in the field of Anglo-Saxon Studies, it can be seen that the complexity of the so-called topic and the possible conclusions can help societies in the East, as well as in the West in the 21st century, to look at their history from a different angle. This research has been initiated by scholars from Israel, the Russian Federation, Slovenia, Romania and Serbia and has contributed to the study and influence of Anglo-Saxon studies on many historical, theological and political phenomena of the Middle Ages. This work is a comprehensive account of these investigations of Anglo-Saxon studies from the East.
