The study presents main results of archaeological and geophysical investigations of the defunct Benedictine Monastery of St. Cosmas and Damian in Ludanice (Topoľčany district). The monastery was probably founded by the noble family of Ludanice by early 13th century. The monks abandoned the cloister at the latest in the 1st half of the 16th century. From 2005 to 2007 we conducted archaeological excavations at the site, which managed to locate the monastery and largely uncover its southern wing and partially the corner of the east wing. The south wing, which included a hypocaustum furnace was constructed in the 14th century and added to the older east wing. However, the acquired artefacts show the origins of the site in the horizon between the end of the 12th and 1st half of the 13th century. As shown by the excavations, the southern wing perished at the end of the middle Ages. In the years 2012 and 2013 we conducted a geophysical survey with the GPR method at the site. The survey has confirmed and completed the course of the southern wing and probably attested to the existence of the west wing of the monastery. The east wing, partially identified by the excavations, however, was not found. This may be explained by intentional dismantling of its architecture and the establishment of a modern period cemetery at the site. Geophysical survey seemingly identified also the abbey church, but the results in this case are not clear and will need to be verified by further field research. Based on the gathered data, it appears that the ground plan of the monastery had probably irregular trapezoidal shape with approximate dimensions of 25.5 (south wing) x 22.5 (west wing) x 21 (east wing) x 30? (church) meters.

The historic, patriarchal and stavropegic Holy monastery of Saint John Prodromos is located to the west of city Veroia. According to monastery regulations, the skull of saint Clement, Archbishop of Ohrid, was kept within its edifice in the year 1832. Inscriptions provide us with information regarding the names of the artist who made the octagonal external silver reliquary for the relic of saint Clement in 1818 and the name of the abbot who covered the expenses for the whole work. The skull reliquary of a head-like shape is made of silver, inlaid with gold and there is a moulded mask on its front side. This reliquary does not bear any inscriptions. Still, a number of artworks with similar characteristics found in the neighbouring regions, in addition to information from written sources, indicate that the skull reliquary was probably made in the city of Naoussa, in the late 18th century. There is a possibility that the exact manufacturing year of the skull reliquary was 1784, when the Orthodox Procession book (Acolouthia) of saint Clement was published in Venice.

The main aim of this essay is to answer the question, which is discussed in historical literature, of who is the author of the double-legend about the earliest Czech saints, St. Vaclav and Ludmila. There is very large number of learned studies about this question. But most authors were not interested in the personality of the writer, his family origins, social status etc., but rather in questions concerning the date of his writing/works. This legend was mainly dated to the 10th or 12th century, in extreme cases to the 14th century even (legend dating is still a matter for discussion). The author of this paper supports an origin of the legend from the 10th century contrary to general belief. Moreover, we do not speculate solely about the legend, but about its writer. It is common known that he was called Christianus and he was identified with Duke Boleslav I's oldest son, Strachkvas, a benedictine monk from monastery of St. Emmeram in Regensburg. This follows the description of Czech chronicler, Kosmas of Prague (11th/12th century). This hypothesis is not verifiable in each detail, but it is the most sophisticated and is the basis of this article. On the fringe of learned literature stands an opinion, which links Christianus/Strachkvas with the Czech monastery in Brevnov. So the purpose was to test this thesis. After research into the different spectra of contemporary sources we have to state that the thesis about Christianus' origin from Brevnov is false. There is no reason to declare it. No contemporary source alludes to Christianus as a monk of Brevnov, only as a monk from Regensburg. Identification with monastery in Brevnov was only an idea of scholars who wanted to find a concrete author of a famous controversial double-legend and from this view, Brevnov was only one acceptable possibility. But it is only speculation and we must refute it. Following this minimum of historical sources, which we have, we can faithfully argue only: Christianus was a literate man, a cleric, a Benedictine monk, maybe an episcopal candidate, writer, and in all probability a member of the Premyslid dynasty. Anything else is merely specualative.
