During the last decade of the twentieth century, the late professor Kazimierz Liman worked on the application of classic literary communication model in the research on the mediaeval chronicles. The result was a paper delivered at the conference The Mediaeval Chronicle which took place in 1996 in Utrecht, which has never been published as a whole. We have decided to include it in the present volume not only to honour the author, but also because we are convinced of its great contribution to the research on Latin mediaeval literature.

The article deals with unknown occasional print Carmen pastoricium by Michal Godra (1801 – 1874). It was published in Novi Sad in the year 1841, when M. Godra worked as a headmaster of the Slovak-German gymnasium in Novi Vrbas, Báčka, Vojvodina. The print consists of two autonomous poems, eclogues, which were written by the author on the occasion of appointing nobleman Anton Knézy as the Vice-ispán of Báčka County. The paper focuses on the first of the eclogues titled Beata Bacska. Ecloga I. (Blessed Báčka, eclogue I.), that is composed of 97 lines written in hexameter. Since the text of the poem is not well-known in professional circles, the article includes a transcription of the Latin text and a prosaic translation into Slovak. The interpretation of the themes and motifs leads to the conclusion that M. Godra´s poem Beata Bacska has the genre characteristics of the eclogue: a poetic message, arranged in the form of shepherds´ utterances, Báčka is glorified as the idyllic land of shepherds and farmers, some mythological motifs and historical digressions appear and complement the image of the glorified land. In line with the condition of the ´occasional nature´ of the poem, Godra updates the image of the land using an unusually high number of particular names of the geographical localities in Báčka as well as the period references. The occasional print by M. Godra is a proof of using the Latin language in literary production as late as the 1840s, at least in occasional poetry.

The author commences with presenting the attempts of the Polish Society of Philology to convince the Ministry of Education to officially recognize the National Competition in Latin language, among a number of similar secondary school competitions. The initial years of the Competition are then recounted. The author also reminds eminent organizers of the Competition, next she describes the formation of the Competition’s Grand Committee, the design of the program and difficulty of material arrangements in the early 1980s when Poland was under the martial law. Finally, the author recollects the organizers’ initial anxiety as to whether the Competition would find favour among Latin teachers and secondary level students. It soon turned out, however, that the response from the secondary education community was tremendous, as illustrated by the success of the initial one and all subsequent rounds of the Competition. A sure confirmation of this fact were the successes of the Competition’s winners in the international Certamen Ciceronianum Arpinas – annual competition organized in Italy. In conclusion, the author lists the Competition’s many benefactors, especially Latin teachers, who educated many of its laureates over the last twenty-five years, as well as the members of the Society of particular merit in organizing the Competition at all its levels.

Huizinga was a readers’ writer, and as such part of a long tradition. As a writer, he was a member of a relatively small philological circle, consisting of the readers in the most important languages of Ancient Europe, and in this way the re-creators of the ancient unity of the Latinitas from which colloquial Latin had originated. These readers were forced to acknowledge that which had once split into different languages was now disintegrating further as a result of specialization. One of the most important branches of this family was Romanic philology in Germany, with Friedrich Christian Dietz and Leopold von Ranke as its founding fathers. It blossomed at the beginning of the 20th century with scholars such as Vossler, Curtius, Spitzer and Auerbach. In the author ś contribution he will concentrate on Leo Spitzer. He will focus on four things he had in common with Huizinga: an assumption, an experience, an analysis and a tool. Their assumption was that culture was defined by harmony, by the unity and inseparability of the hearts and minds of its participants. This unity gave a culture its metaphysical aura; it was a musical harmony of the individual soul with the cosmos. They believed that this harmony once existed and it was their common experience that had been radically disturbed.

The aim of this study is the development of article from Latin to Spanish and its typological appraisal based on the typology of the famous Czech linguist Vladimír Skalička. Skalička’s typology is a methodology which is used primarily in synchronic linguistics. This study tries to demonstrate that this methodology can be also used in diachronic studies. The definite article developed from the Latin demonstrative pronoun, whereas the indefinite article developed from the Latin cardinal number. The existence of an article in language is a characteristic feature of the isolating type of language. On the other hand, the gender, number and case agreement of the article and substantive is a feature typical for the flexional type of language. Finally the plural suffix is agglutinating feature.
