This paper is an attempt to reconstruct Walter Benjamin's notions of a collector, collecting and a collection. The reflection on collectors and their activity proves to be crucial to 'the material philosophy of the nineteenth century' that the author was trying to write. Benjamin's insight into collecting is based, among other factors, on his own experience, and there are parallels between the way he conducts his studies, the way his works are structured and compiled, and the collector's activity and the collection respectively. This study of Benjamin's understanding of collecting puts special emphasis on the relationship between the collection and the collector's individual memory, on the role of an interpreter of collective dreams that the philosopher attributed to the collector, who is capable of calling the wake-up, and on the specificity of the possession and decommoditization of objects by the collector.

During the period 1940 – 1943 Jozef Kresánek worked as an official of the Musical Section of Matica slovenská in Martin. Here he had the opportunity to make acquaintance, among other sources, with the extensive manuscript collection of Slovak folk songs by Karol Plicka. Kresánek, when processing this collection for the first time, gained knowledge which he afterwards put to use in his synthetic work Slovenská ľudová pieseň zo stanoviska hudobného (Slovak folk song from the musical standpoint) (1951, 21997). Here he used Plicka’s manuscript records of Slovak folk songs to illustrate individual styles in Slovak folk singing. Apart from adopting selected extracts, Kresánek relies in this work on the various studies by Plicka, establishing continuity and simultaneously revaluating them in the light of his own knowledge.

Flaxseed – Semen Lini, ‘siemię lniane’ in Polish, is a valuable medicinal raw material. Flaxseed is a food ingredient with anticancer activity and antithrombotic properties. Flaxseed decoction is a traditional soothing treatment used in alimentary track diseases. Flaxseed contains numerous bioactive substances: α-linolenic acid, antioxidants, microelements, mainly selenium and lignans. The seeds of traditional flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) are characterized with very beneficial and rare composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the study of 16 accessions of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) it was found that the content of triunsaturated α-linolenic acid in seed oil was from 3,7 to 5,8 times higher than diunsaturated linolenic acid. The reservoir of seeds with higher content of α-linolenic acid is the Polish Flax Collection, which collection comprises traditional races and varieties of flax.

The paper summarizes both the division of the world and the approach towards things of different philosophers (Plato, Hegel, Moore, Russel, Whitehead, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Reichenbach, Patočka). Special attention is given to the system of three worlds (material, psychic, and real – ideal, immaterial) of Karl Popper. Those approaches are applied to the understanding of a museum collection in both theoretical and practical sense.

The study deals with uniform buttons in the collection of the Waldes Museum of Buttons and Fasteners in Prague-Vršovice, which was founded at the initiative of Prague industrialist and philanthropist Jindřich Waldes. Over the course of the museum’s existence, from 1916 to 1945, the collection came to include more than 350 uniform buttons. This study tries to capture the significance of the collection at the Waldes Museum. Both exhibits and study material connected with the museum’s publication work or the building of a specialised archive and library. It also presents selected exhibits from the collection in question, together with other associated objects and specialised materials. The study draws on expert consideration of the preserved collection, original publications and materials from the Waldes Museum Archive and specialised literature.

The paper is devoted to the collection of Amália Sirotková (1813 – 1892) – the oldest known Slovak woman storyteller. Part of her manuscript collection from the 1850s has been preserved thanks to the estate of Pavel Dobšinský (1828 – 1885) who prepared two of her tales for publication in his edition Prostonárodné slovenské povesti (Slovak folk tales, 1880, 1882). The preserved notebooks are probably a fragment of a larger collection, but the extent of the manuscript remains unknown. “Povesti od Amálie Sirotkovej [Tales by Amália Sirotková]” archive stored in the Literary Archive of the Slovak National Library in Martin contains three notebooks by A. Sirotková and one notebook written by another person and probably unrelated to A. Sirotková’s collection. The first part of the article reflects on the question of authorship and the extent of the collection. The second part of the paper reconstructs the origin of the collection and outlines the possible ways in which the manuscript of A. Sirotková’s might have reached P. Dobšinský. The aim is not to reflect on the language, spelling, style, or genre of A. Sirotková’s tales, but on the contexts of the collection with regard to parallel manuscript sources and the way it was used by editors of fairy tale books in the 19th century. The third part of the paper deals with this issue in more detail.

The article analyses a set of drawings in the Drawings and Graphic Art Collection of the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava by 16th century Cremona painters Camillo Boccaccino, Giulio Campi, Bernardino Gatti, Bernardino Campi and Antonio Maria Viani. The works of the last one dominate the collection and bear evidence of Viani’s meticulous preparation for the execution of the large decoration in the dome of S. Pietro al Po in Cremona, with the subject of the “Last Judgment”.
