The "integration of Europe" is, among other things, a huge ideological undertaking. Part of that undertaking entails the appropriation of history for the political project of building a "European Union." One aspect of that appropriation of history is the rooting of Europe as a political community in historical times & places where Europe as such did not exist. Popular among such ideological constructs is presentation of the Carolingian Empire as the predecessor of contemporary, united Europe. By analyzing early medieval usages of the word Europe, the author argues that it is unwarranted to speak of any clear "idea of Europe," in the Carolingian period or, in turn, to portray the Carolingian Empire as the "first Europe" & a potential model for today's "integration of Europe.". Adapted from the source document.

Beginning with expressions such as ideographs, the author's autograph, and the copyist's autograph, this paper explains the dilemma of some Late Medieval Manuscripts in Slovenian collections that were mistakenly identified as being the author's own textual creation. The main part of this paper focuses on three mid-15th-century copyists: Martin of Loka, Matjaž Jurčič of Kapela, and Herman Talner of Trebnje. Because each of them added the name of their hometown to their signature, all three can be recognized as hailing from Slovenian places. Martin of (Škofja) Loka was an erudite man, and this is evident from his texts he wrote in German, Slovenian and Latin, as well as from his many forms of scripts. Matjaž Jurčič of Kapela was probably a freelance artist, and the colophon to his copy of an epic poem contains an inscription in Latin, German and Provençal. Working in a remote location, the third, Herman Talner, copied a lengthy politically-oriented poem for Lord Ludvik of Castle Kozjak. At the end of their work all three added colophons which provide valuable information about these individuals and the conditions in which they worked. ; Prispevek se uvodoma ustavlja ob izrazih, kot so ideograf, avtograf pisatelja in avtograf prepisovalca, ter pojasnjuje dileme ob nekaterih poznosrednjeveških rokopisih iz slovenskih zbirk, ki so bili pomotoma opredeljeni kot avtografi pisateljev. Osrednji del prispevka je namenjen predstavitvi treh prepisovalcev iz sredine 15.stoletja: to so Martin iz (Škofje) Loke, Matjaž Jurčič iz Kapele in Herman Talner iz Trebnjega. Vse tri lahko prepoznamo kot osebe iz slovenskih krajev, ker so k svojemu imenu dodali ime domačega kraja. Martin iz (Škofje) Loke je bil mož velikega znanja, kar je razvidno iz njegovih samostojno sestavljenih glos, pisal je v nemščini, slovenščini in latinščini v več oblikah pisav; Matjaž Jurčič iz Kapele je bil najbrž svobodni ustvarjalec, ki je prepis epske pesnitve zaključil s kolofonom v latinščini, nemščini in provansalščini; Herman Talner pa je v nekem oddaljenem kraju prepisoval obsežno politično-programsko pesnitev za gospoda Ludvika z gradu Kozjak. Vsi trije so na koncu svojih prepisov dodali kolofone, ki so dragoceni podatki o njih samih in delovnih okoliščinah.
