Svätí slovanskí sedmopočetníci. Bratislava: Slovenský komitét slavistov – Slavistický ústav Jána Stanislava SAV, 2010. 247 strán. (ISBN 978-80-89489-02-2.) (original) (raw)
The seven holy Slavonic saints (Sts. Cyril, Methodius, Gorazd, Clement, Nahum, Angelar and Savva). The monograph examines the question of how this group came into being and how the common veneration of this group began. The book also deals with the biographies and work of individual saints from the group of seven Slavonic saints. It provides a synthetic survey of sources, basic biographical data and summarize our knowledge of the work and activity of the individual disciples of Sts. Cyril and Methodius. Attention is also paid to the questions of their veneration and the fate of their relics. A review of different sources briefly presents the origin of each source, gives information about the oldest available text, the number of preserved manuscripts and the most important printed editions. We considered it to be important to give a more detailed description of the liturgical situation in the 9th and 10th century, as a background of the spiritual and intellectual formation, work and activity of the holy seven Slavonic saints.

The activity of both saints, Constantine-Cyril and Gregory of Nazianzus, is characterized by several similarities (love for education, inclination towards spiritual life, longing for solitude) that may have been influenced by Constantine’s selection of Gregory as a special patron. The study is based on the hypothesis that not only Gregory’s panegyrics and his autobiographical poem De vita sua but also a wider spectrum of Nazianzen’s poetic works influenced Constantine. It shows some selected Gregory’s verses reflected in the life and works of St. Constantine.
Marginalizovaní bohovia? Príspevok k náboženskej ikonografii v staršej dobe bronzovej
2020
Until recently no anthropomorphic depictions from the Early Bronze Age were known in the western part of the Carpathian Basin and Central Danube Region. The author is presenting the recognized depictions, structured into typical iconographies. It is interesting that they are depictions of women. According to the results of comparative Indo-European studies the pantheons of the Early Bronze Age religions should be headed by male deities. The author reflects on different results of archaeology and religious studies. The answer apparently lies in the holistic study of human creativity.
