The Catholic Church is a binding element for understanding the historical process of Venezuela after the three hundred years of Spanish rule, during which time, and along with the various forms of institutions inherited from the mother country, customs and values were established that contributed to the development of the country. In this essay, we make an assessment of the role of the Catholic Church during the independence process, of its conflicts with the new republic during the second half of the nineteenth century, and the gradual recovery of its social presence during the dictatorship of Juan Vicente Gómez. Then, with the onset of representative democracy, the Church’s relation with the political power becomes regularized within a legal framework that allows it to continue in the exercise of his pastoral duties in a climate of respect and collaboration, but with a critical sense to the great problems of society.

The text analyses the development of the autonomy of higher education institutions in the Czech lands following the Prussian model with an emphasis on the aspect of the economic dependence on the state, which was very significant in European comparison. It notes the gradual development of autonomous identity in the representation of higher education institutions with a core at the universities and the achievement of a high degree of autonomy in the decision-making of the state in 1890–1930. At that time, higher education institutions became the leading bearers of a liberal vision of corporate management and a liberal-democratic view of the role of the state. Increasing cases of the abuse of the autonomy by the representations of higher education institutions mainly in the economic sphere led to the intensification of oversight and the gradual reduction of autonomy in the search for postliberal social order in Czechoslovak society with the advent of the economic and political crisis after 1929.

Case studies of watermills that ceased to exist during the 20th century, examined via archaeological methods in the regions of West and Northwest Bohemia, have brought significant findings in the form of particular building stages from the oldest times to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Watermill of Hutmühle (Litoměřice district, Northwest Bohemia, near the village of Zubrice) was the most thoroughly investigated site. In the scope of this archaeological excavation, various methodological differences, possibilities and limits of research of such sites appeared. Based on the scientific activities performed, it is evident that these watermills are highly valuable technical sights, which shall be paid more attention to in terms of both archaeological and historical monument care.

This study deals with the position of the Jewish community in Argentina (the largest in Latin America) and its fortunes, as well as anti-semitic trends in this country since the 19th century. Argentinian Jews, or Jewish Argentinians, have integrated into Argentinian life and society without giving up the Jewish elements in their personal or collective identity. The author opens his study with an analysis of the image of Argentinian Jews in several films made by various producers over the last few years (El año que viene… en Argentina, Un abrazo partido, Like a Fish Out of Water). He then deals with the emergence and development of the Jewish Argentinian immigrant community from a historical and sociological perspective, as well as the image of the community in literary works. Jewish immigration to Argentina (inter alia) was the outcome of economic and social problems in Central and Eastern Europe on the one hand and the liberal immigration policy of the Argentinian government on the other. The author traces where these Jews came from, which waves they belonged to chronologically, which towns they settled in and where they were active; he also provides various details on the size of the Jewish minority in Argentina. Another set of questions hangs over Nazi emigration to Argentina (which helped to create the myth of the country as pro-Nazi and anti-semitic) and various manifestations of anti-semitism that emerged in Argentina. The study is concluded with a look at the genesis of the community of Argentinian Jews in Israel.

The paper monitors the transformations of the position of the humanities and scholars in the 19th and 20th centuries. It shows the more or less unexpected acquisition of influence and power in society by a group of educated people in the service of the state or country. They were legitimized by their competence in the humanities – especially those linked to the ancient cultural heritage and secured by university certificates. The prestige capital of this professional group or perhaps even social class was great. They stood out for the 19th century, a time when only a small part of the population possessed full active literacy, the ability to formulate and communicate the problems of society and the time. Already at the beginning of the 20th century, their influence in society began to weaken, two world wars and the modernization and technology of the second half of the century significantly reduced their social role. However, the critical competence of historians and other humanities scholars is socially indispensable even today.

The article deals with the problems, approaches and perspectives of the current historical research on industrial architecture. It is not primarily an art history analysis of factory buildings, but rather an examination of their connection with ongoing industrialization. The article asks which concepts, terms and topics have social, economic and cultural historians used to analyze industrial space. Were historians interested in whether factory buildings were the result of cultural transfer and knowledge exchange between Western and Central Europe? Did historians take into account primarily the debates of architects, engineers and experts? Did historians reflect on how the building of factories established power hierarchies and social relations? The article analyses secondary German and English historical literature about industrial architecture that was published in the last three decades. Based on empirical examples of Austrian factories from smaller Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian towns, the article argues that the rise of the modern factory building, with enough lighting, ventilation, heating, hygienic and social facilities, was not a revolutionary event of the interwar period of the 20th century, but a long-term development that started in the second half of the 19th century.

The research objective of the article is to show the methods and forms of religious education of school children and students in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the territory of Poland based on fiction and memoir writings. Religious instruction teachers were responsible for teaching religion at schools. Some of them conducted classes in accordance with the teaching methodology; they were able to make students interested in religious matters, and they were treated as authorities and became their students’ spiritual mentors. Others did not contribute much to the religious and moral shaping of young people, due to the lack of teaching skills or appropriate knowledge, or because they treated their duties carelessly. The authorities representing foreign rule in the territory of Poland, by treating religion instrumentally, forced students to various religious practices, which created a negative effect, and turned the students off religion and the Church. Many students were deep believers and practicing Catholics. However, lack of proper educational impact caused some students’ difficulties with faith. Some of them even considered themselves atheists. The source material presented in the article can also be instructive for contemporary teachers of religious education.

This essay is to some extent a response to the fact that over recent decades there has been a gross misinterpretation of history in favour of undemocratic aspects of history and the present day, and to the detriment of contextual objectivity including democratising and social national history currents. The self-knowledge of nations as one of the conditions for the progress of democracy is generally endangered. In this regard, the situation is similar to that at the end of the 19th century when Masaryk made the case for a more complete perspective on Czech history, in particular on the periods neglected for political reasons yet important in terms of national self-development, in which efforts at breaking out of destructive oppression and the positive development of the majority and the whole was a significant aspect of Czech history, an aspect fundamentally highly democratising. Since Masaryk’s method of looking at history, looking at the complex democratising initiative from below in an unfavourable political context has lost none of its relevance or power in its lessons today, this essay focuses in particular on these relevant aspects of Masaryk’s acts.

This study is the first attempt in Czech historiography at outlining certain methodical and methodological bases for research into the history of family businesses. It focuses on illuminating certain methodological options for defining family companies and their typology according to internal distribution of power and mutual (not just family) relations within the businesses. It expands this typology with a proposal for an external materially chronological framework for enterprise within Central Europe over the last hundred and fifty years. The linked appendix endeavours to apply this typology to four family businesses which operated within the Czech lands and Czechoslovakia. Specifically, it looks at four major ‘family’ businesses in the Czech lands whose operations encompassed the whole of the Habsburg Empire’s territory: ‘Lederer’ – producers of branded molasses-based alcohol; ‘Lanna’ – road, railway and water transport planning and construction; ‘Klein’ – road and railway planning and construction; and ‘Ringhoffer’ – railway vehicles (carriages for personal and freight transport).

The purpose of this work was to present the development and regional history of fencing in eastern Slovakia. Origins of fencing go back to ancient times, it was referred to as the knightly art of wielding white weapons. Its development over the centuries is a permanent battle and duels that have been changing through the use of various types of weapons, forms and rules of combat. At a time when many sports were at the stage of initial development, European fencing had already developed a system of methodical teaching, which was enriched with extensive literature. The his-tory of fencing in eastern Slovakia has not yet been given a full and synthetic study, although this discipline played a significant role in the development of Slavic physical culture. The article pre-sents an outline of the development of fencing in eastern region Slovakia in Košice. The research method was based on direct and indirect fact finding. The available printing, iconographic sources and source materials were analyzed. The development of fencing in Slovakia took place in the first half of the 19th century in the second largest city of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Bratislava. It should be noted that in 1828 Pozsonyi Egyls Magyar Vivo Egyletö was appointed – the first Hun-garian fencing club in Bratislava. The fencing centers in Spain, Italy, France and Germany had a significant influence on the development of the fencing clubs in Central Europe. In 1844, swordsman Ferdynand Martinengo, founded and taught fencing at the private Fencing Academy in Bratislava. Fencing sport in Slovakia owes its existence and continuous development to the com-mitment and dedication of its members who were able to raise the sporting level of their players in the country and internationally.

Celem artykułu było przedstawienie rozwoju sportu szermierczego we wschodniej Słowacji. Szermierka swym pochodzeniem sięga zamierzchłych czasów, określano ją jako rycerską sztukę władania białą bronią. W czasie, kiedy wiele dyscyplin sportu było w stadium początkowego rozwoju, europejska szermierka miała już rozwinięty system metodycznego nauczania, który był wzbogacony obszerną literaturą. Dzieje szermierki wschodniej Słowacji nie doczekały się dotychczas pełnego i synte-tycznego opracowania, chociaż ta dyscyplina odegrała w rozwoju słowiańskiej kultury fizycznej do-niosłą rolę. Artykuł przedstawia fakty historyczne szermierki sportowej we wschodniej Słowacji – w Koszycach. Metodę badawczą oparto o bezpośrednie i pośrednie ustalenie faktów, wykorzystując wyjaśnienia deskrypcyjne i kauzalne. Dokonano analizy dostępnych źródeł drukowanych, ikonogra-ficznych i innych materiałów źródłowych. Rozwój szermierki na Słowacji nastąpił w pierwszej po-łowie XIX wieku w drugim co do wielkości mieście monarchii austro-węgierskiej w Bratysławie. W 1844 roku fechmistrz Ferdynand Martinengo nauczał szermierki w prywatnej Bratysławskiej Akademii Szermierczej. Sport szermierczy w regionie wschodniej Słowacji swoje istnienie i usta-wiczny rozwój zawdzięczał zaangażowaniu i ofiarności prof. Pačenovskiego oraz fechmistrzów, któ-rzy potrafili podnieść poziom sportowy swoich zawodników w kraju i w skali międzynarodowej.

Christian Socialists played an important role in the interwar Austrian party system. Their ambivalent approach to parliamentary democracy corresponds to an estranged political culture. The party demanded the implementation of corporate elements within the political system. Repeated failures to create a government coalition with a stable majority in the National Council, fears of a loss of power to the rapidly rising Nazis and the consequences of the Great Economic Crisis strengthened thoughts within the Christian Socialists of extra-parliamentary government. In spring 1933, authoritative party representatives took advantage of exceptional events in the National Council to accede to the gradual elimination of parliamentary democracy. The passive position of the opposition and the de facto lack of interest of the Austrian public helped in the implementation of these authoritative changes.

This article looks at the life and personality of Emanuel Josef, the fourth Prince of Collalto e San Salvatore, a prince whose great-niece called him the last man of the old regime in Austria due to his impractical and odd character. The study looks only at the three most significant periods of his life: 1) his birth and childhood, 2) his morganatic marriage and its consequences, and 3) his family and financial situation at the time of his death. It relies on preserved archived materials and the contemporary press to do so. The objective is to acquire a closer look at the somewhat contradictory head of the Collalto family in the second half of the 19th century and early 20th century.

The article discusses the problem of the interactions between the fields of science and practice in the area of two disciplines – pedagogy and medicine, on the example of their representatives gathered around Helena Radlińska within the Free Polish University in Warsaw and Lodz. The focus was mainly on the period of the Second Polish Republic. The article refers to the shared generational experiences of three people: the founder of social pedagogy – Helena Radlińska, and representatives of the medical profession – Stefan Kopcinski and Seweryn Sterling. In each case, they associated their activities with secret or open educational and patriotic organizations, creating a link between the period of partitioning and the independence of Poland.

W artykule podjęto problem wzajemnego oddziaływania dorobku w dziedzinie nauki i praktyki w obszarze dwóch dyscyplin – pedagogiki i medycyny – na przykładzie ich reprezentantów skupionych wokół Heleny Radlińskiej w ramach Wolnej Wszechnicy Polskiej w Warszawie i łódzkiego oddziału tej uczelni. Skoncentrowano się głównie na okresie II Rzeczypospolitej. Odniesiono się do wspólnych doświadczeń pokoleniowych twórczyni pedagogiki społecznej – Heleny Radlińskiej oraz wybranych dwóch przedstawicieli profesji lekarskiej – Stefana Kopcińskiego i Seweryna Sterlinga. Jeszcze w okresie zaborowym wiązali oni swoją działalność z tajnymi lub jawnymi organizacjami oświatowymi i patriotycznymi, tworząc łącznik pomiędzy czasami niewoli i niepodległej Polski.

This article presents a proposed methodological basis for researching the fundamental political and ideological phenomenon of the 19th century: the myth of Karl Marx in the social democratic context of pre-war Austria. This phenomenon should be investigated from the perspective of the function of myth and its place in the context of social democratic ideas about the world, its specific form, transformations and development over time, and also its modification within different social democratic organisations operating in Cisleithania. The article provides models and questions which can lead to a comprehensive analysis and reconstruction of this myth.

The phenomenom of the provincial codes creates inevitably an essential part of the field of the publication law. The subject of publication of legal acts itself forms basic law standard which is supposed to be common knowledge in the day-to-day legal practice as well as the jurisprudence. The Moravian provincial code as an official collection of law monarchy was established after core constitutional changes in 1848. Provincial codes still form part of current legal system of the Czech state.

Praga (cz. Praha) to w opinii wielu miasto niezwykłe, magiczne i klimatyczne, o niesamowitym genius loci. To nie tylko legendarna czeska stolica, piękna „Złota Praga” pełna urokliwych zaułków i imponujących zabytków, które powstały w ciągu dziesięciu wieków jej „trwania i narastania”. Współczesna Praga to prężny środkowoeuropejski ośrodek polityczny, administracyjny, ekonomiczno-biznesowy (przemysłowy, handlowy i usługowy) oraz naukowy i akademicki, jak również kulturalny i turystyczny o znaczeniu międzynarodowym. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przybliżenie fenomenu Pragi jako „magicznego miasta” o zachowanej tysiącletniej tkance miejskiej; będzie w nim mowa o „narastanie miasta” oraz jego dynamizmie cywilizacyjnym XIX i pierwszej połowy XX w., mających niejednokrotnie swe praprzyczyny w niezwykłej historii czeskiej metropolii, a także w jego otwartości na przybyszów.

Prague (Praha) is widely regarded as an amazing, magical city with lots of ambience and of extraordinary genius loci. It is not only the legendary Czech capital city or gorgeous „Golden Prague” abounding in charming lanes and impressive sights which come from ten centuries of continuance and accretion. Modern Prague is indeed a major Central European political, administrative, business and economic (industrial, commercial or service) centre with cultural and tourist attractions of international importance. This paper seeks to explore the remarkable phenomenon of Prague as a magical city with its preserved thousand-year-old urban fabric; addressing the issue of the accretion of the city and its civilizational dynamism and growth of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century frequently triggered by the stormy yet marvellous history of the Czech metropolis and its openness to newcomers.

Autor artykułu wskazuje, iż zakony nie mogły funkcjonować w absolutnym ubóstwie, ponieważ musiały zapewnić formację nowicjatu, zadbać o swoich pacjentów i osoby starsze, a w szczególności wspierać działalność, którą zamierzały prowadzić (szkoły, szpitale, misje itp.). Dlatego też potrzebowały znacznych środków finansowych, które pochodziły od królów, książąt i arystokratów; inne źródła finansowania to m.in. żebranie i jałmużna od wiernych. Rewolucja francuska zmieniła sytuację gospodarczą; zaczęto domagać się, by zakonnicy i zakonnice utrzymywali się ze swojej pracy. Autor ukazuje przypadek Włoch po kasacie klasztorów w 1866 r., która w 1873 r. objęła także Rzym. Aby przetrwać, zakonnicy i zakonnice we Włoszech utworzyli wiele stowarzyszeń świeckich, podlegających bez wyjątku ustawodawstwu państwa włoskiego, dzięki czemu udało im się odtworzyć znaczącą część zakonnego patrymonium.

The author of the article first points out that religious orders could not live in absolute poverty, because they had to provide for the formation of their novices, the care of their patients and their elders, and, especially, support the work they intended to do (schools, hospitals, missions etc.). Therefore, they needed considerable financial resources, which came from kings, princes and nobles; other sources of income included begging, nuns’ dowries and alms from the faithful. The French Revolution changed the economic picture, demanding religious men and women to live of their work. Next the author examines the case of Italy after the general suppression of religious institutes of 1866, extended to Rome in 1873. In order to survive, the religious in Italy set up many civil societies, all subject to the laws of the Italian state. They succeeded in replenishing a significant patrimony.

Father Aleksander Krzysztof Sitnik OFM (born in 1971) belongs to the Franciscan branch of the Order of Friars Minor of the Province of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, called Bernardine in Poland. In his works, he deals with issues concerning the broadly understood history of the Bernardine provinces of the Order of Friars Minor in Poland, starting from 1453. He devotes this research to the history of individual monasteries from the male and female branches, and their historical discourse leads to modern times, because, as he believes, the atmosphere after 1945 was not conducive to publishing works analyzing the history of the Church in Poland, or even more exploring the activities of convents. The author conducts scientific research on the border of biography, prosopography and source editing. The article analyzes the current writing output of Father Sitnik, which the author published in the years 2006–2019, i.e. from the time he obtained his doctoral degree until his habilitation in March 2020. This oeuvre increased by as many as 250 items, and the total number of all author’s publications is as many as 272 books and articles.

O. Aleksander Krzysztof Sitnik OFM (ur. 1971 r.) należy do franciszkańskiej gałęzi Zakonu Braci Mniejszych prowincji Niepokalanego Poczęcia NMP, nazywanych w Polsce bernardynami. W swoich pracach podejmuje zagadnienia dotyczące szeroko rozumianych dziejów prowincji bernardyńskich Zakonu Braci Mniejszych w Polsce, począwszy od 1453 r. Badania te poświęca dziejom poszczególnych klasztorów z gałęzi męskiej i żeńskiej, a ich dyskurs historyczny doprowadza do czasów współczesnych, ponieważ, jak sam uważa, atmosfera po 1945 r. nie sprzyjała wydawaniu dzieł analizujących dzieje Kościoła w Polsce, ani tym bardziej zgłębiających działalność zakonów. Autor prowadzi także badania naukowe z pogranicza biografistyki, prozopografii i edytorstwa źródeł. W artykule przeanalizowano dotychczasowy dorobek pisarski o. Sitnika, jaki opublikował w latach 2006–2019, to jest od czasu uzyskania przez niego stopnia naukowego doktora aż do czasu jego habilitacji w marcu 2020 r. Dorobek ów powiększył się aż o 250 pozycji, a łączna liczba wszystkich publikacji autora obejmuje do tej pory 272 pozycje.

According to archivists a photograph can be both an illustrative material and a historical source. But still there is no handbook which can describe all aspects connected with photograpfic documentation. In the State Archive in Rzeszów (complex Archiwum Podworskie Mierów-Jędrzejowiczów w Staromieściu) there is the small separated collection of photographies. They present: portrait photos (Tytus Jan Mateusz hrabia Mier, Henryka z Mierów Komorowska) and watches with a miniature portrait of Jan hrabia Mier; postcards with photos of military manoeuvres; the portrait photo (Lubina z Rogoyskich Mierowa) and a photo for official documents (Jan Feliks Jędrzejowicz). The family of Mier which had Scotish and Calvinist roots and the family of Jędrzejowicz of Armenian and merchant origin were connected by the marriage contracted in 1878 in Vienna between Adam Jędrzejowicz (1847–1924), the son of Jan Kanty and Maria (maiden name Straszewska) from Zaczernie and Gabriela Felicja (maiden name Mier) (1850–1939), the daughter of Feliks and Felicja, divorced with Zdzisław Tyszkiewicz, the heir to landed property of Kolbuszowa. After the wedding Staromieście became their family home (now it is within the city limits of Rzeszów). Then Jan Feliks (1879–1942), the only son of this couple, managed the estate. Photographs provide valuable information both in the textual (notes connected with presented on photos persons, things, events) and illustrative stratum.

Według archiwistów fotografia może stanowić zarówno materiał ilustracyjny, jak i pełnoprawne źródło historyczne. Wciąż jednak brakuje podręcznika, który opisywałby wszystkie aspekty związane z dokumentacją fotograficzną. W Archiwum Państwowym w Rzeszowie w zespole Archiwum Podworskie MierówJędrzejowiczów w Staromieściu znajduje się niewielki wyodrębniony zbiór fotografii. Przedstawiają one: uwiecznione na fotografii portrety (Tytusa Jana Mateusza hrabiego Miera, Henryki z Mierów Komorowskiej) oraz zegarek z miniaturowym wizerunkiem Jana hrabiego Miera; kartki korespondencyjne ze zdjęciami z manewrów wojskowych, zdjęcie portretowe (Lubiny z Rogoyskich Mierowej) i przeznaczone do dokumentów urzędowych (Jana Feliksa Jędrzejowicza). Rodzinę Mierów o szkockich i kalwińskich korzeniach oraz rodzinę Jędrzejowiczów pochodzenia ormiańskiego i kupieckiego połączyło małżeństwo zawarte w 1878 r. w Wiedniu przez Adama Jędrzejowicza (1847–1924), syn Jana Kantego i Marii ze Straszewskich z Zaczernia, z Gabrielą Felicją z Mierów (1850–1939), córką Feliksa i Felicji, rozwiedzioną ze Zdzisławem Tyszkiewiczem, dziedzicem dóbr kolbuszowskich. Po ślubie ich siedzibą stało się Staromieście (obecnie w granicach Rzeszowa). Majątkiem gospodarował następnie jedyny syn tej pary, Jan Feliks (1879–1942). Fotografie wnoszą cenne informacje zarówno w warstwie tekstowej (zapiski dotyczące przedstawianych osób, rzeczy, wydarzeń), jak i ilustracyjnej (wizerunki tychże), umożliwiają też poczynienie dodatkowych ustaleń na ich podstawie.
