Jianzhen (688-763), a Chinese monk, scholar and an expert in medicine, accepted an invitation by a group of Japanese emissaries to lecture in their home country. He set on a perilous journey and after a total of six attempts, he managed to reach the shores of Kyushu. The odds he and his disciples faced during the journey included unfavourable weather conditions, numerous government interventions and, finally, an eye infection that made him blind. Jianzhen's journey was documented years after his arrival in Japan by a court official, Omi no Mifune (722-785). This biography, although based on the information provided by Jianzhen's disciples who survived the journey and settled in Japan, contains elements that are clearly mythological and the characters appearing throughout the text are often seen through stereotypes rooted in the mind of ancient Japanese aristocracy members.

This article reacts to a recent attempt by Radislav Hošek to reinterpret Eunapius’ report on the gates of Greece having been open to Alaric ‘by the godlessness of those who wear the black robes’. According to the traditional interpretation it had been the Orthodox Christian monks, whom Eunapius had in mind, according to Hošek, however, these black robed individuals were to have been Thracian tribesmen, mentioned also by Plutarch. The article ponders the reasoning behind Hošek’s having abandoned the traditional interpretation and it appears unsubstantiated to the author. On the contrary, the arguments on which Hošek has based his new interpretation, in the author’s opinion come through as insufficient to justify the claim. Therefore, the article suggests a return to the traditional interpretation, which seems to mean less or even no inconvenience.

Information about ordinations of monks in the Plock diocese in the first half of the 16th century come from the „Metrica' of suffragan bishop Piotr Lubart from the years 1514-1530. It notes 278 cases of ordaining monks to lower and higher orders. In all, 195 monks from nine monastic orders received such ordinations from the hands of the bishop. The largest group of brethren that were ordained came from the mendicant orders (especially Dominicans and Observant Franciscans). It took them from a few weeks to several months to receive all kinds of higher orders. The Plock „Metrica' of ordained contains also some dozen cases when monastic superiors included provisions for ordination of members of lay clergy.
