This paper is a polemic reaction to the article by Marek Dospel, published in the Prazske egyptologicke studie ('The Prague Studies in Egyptology') VI, 2009. First of all, the author refutes Dospel's invectives against his lecture delivered six years ago and later published as 'Sine experientia nihil sufficienter sciri potest.' Die Welt der Antike im Itinerarium von Remedius Prutky, 1713-1770, in: Listy filologicke 128, 1-2, 2005, pp. 65-74, which is criticized by Dospel i.a. because of its allegedly 'uncritical attitude toward the analyzed text of the Itinerarium' written by a Franciscan missionary Remedius Prutky (1713-1770). Further on, it summarizes the author's research on the first volume of the Itinerarium itself. A detailed comparison of this work, which was pursued by the author after he had edited and translated some parts of Remedius Prutky's work, with the itinerary written by Jakub Rimar of Kromeriz (1682-1755), has revealed some new and surprising facts providing a new impetus for a further research. A close dependence of both works was discovered: the treatise by Rimar was used by Prutky as a pretext, and Prutky used it not only for his own narrative chapters on Egypt and its vicinity, but also for the passages written in rather subjective tone. Prutky's work, being a special kind of metatext, thus represents a particular example of using the sources without any analogy in the older travel books of Bohemian origin. It turned out that these conclusions which followed from a long-lasting preparatory research and which were published before the critique of Dospel, were not taken into account by Dospel at all, although he had a possibility to get acquainted with them.

Damascius' Vita Isidori and Zacharias Scholasticus' Vita Severi are the main sources for the famous 'persecutions' of pagan teachers in Alexandria during the reign of the emperor Zeno (474-491). The events are far from certain and much debated: the date, reasons and results of the repressions are unknown and controversial. In the Damascius' account, which is preserved very poorly, certain Nicomedes, perhaps agens in rebus, was sent by the emperor to investigate Alexandrian circles. As a result some of the pagan philosophers were arrested and tortured. There is almost general consensus among scholars that these repressions were of a religious character. Some serious attempts were also made by scholars in order to reconstruct the events by comparison to the relation of Zacharias Scholasticus. It appears, however, that Nicomedes' investigation had political and not religious background and it seems certain that Zacharias describing religious conflicts between Christian community and pagan teachers in Alexandria, speaks about completely different events.

This article deals with the study, analysis and description of the original decoration preserved on the exterior surface of the coffin pedestal. Some parts of the surface on the pedestal were restored in the 1970s, and they can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the original decoration. The study of the preserved original paintings together with comparative material enables us to describe and analyse the patterns used in the original decoration. Moreover, we can identify its missing and/or damaged parts and describe the whole scene depicted on the surface of the coffin pedestal.

The paper is an analysis of the philosophical content of the oldest surviving wisdom book - The Maxims of Ptahhotep. The first part deals with the concept of Ma’at, which is of key importance for understanding ancient Egyptian political, legal, and ethical thought. The next part of the paper is devoted to the logical construction of the maxims. I try to show that they have a consistent tripartite structure (hypothesis, disposition, sanction) and explain the meaning of the few existing deviations from this structure. Then, using the tripartite model, I try to reconstruct the axiology and ethics contained in the work of the Vizier. In the last part I reflect on the ideological aspects of the book.

In this paper authors want to report on the appearance of new ancient Egyptian artefacts in a private collection in Slovakia. This collection consists of four pieces of original ancient Egyptian artefacts. They were examined in the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The Egyptological investigation was carried out at the Institute of Oriental Studies in Bratislava and the material analysis of the objects at the Institute of Archaeology in Nitra. The paper publishes the results of their research. The authors comprise various aspects of their investigation including the botanical examination of the wood and the textile composition of the cartonnages. Furthermore, the description and identification of artefacts, their decoration, iconography, transliteration and translation of the hieroglyphic inscription, and the dating of the artefacts are estimated as well.
