The study deals with the topic of origin and form of the seals used in the administrative practice of the Predialist Seats of the Esztergom Archbishop. Since the Middle Ages, Predialists were a special group of the military nobility in the service of important church institutions and high church dignitaries. Its members served their masters mainly as soldiers (nobiles exercituantes). As a reward for this service, they received various privileges, land in particular. Property granted this way was identified by the Latin word of praedium. Therefore, the noblemen living there were called the Predialists (praedialistae). The military administrative organisation of the Predialists was formed by the so called seats (sedes). Seals were used to verify the documents produced by their administration. Originally, four Predialist seats belonged to the archbishop of Esztergom. All of them were located in the territory of the today’s Slovakia, in particular around Vráble, Jur nad Hronom, Arcibiskupský Lél and Vojka nad Dunajom. Later on, the Seats of Vráble and Jur nad Hronom were merged into a single unit.

This article deals with the hagiographic motifs in sphragistics. The article highlights the need to distinguish between the sacred and hagiographic themes of the content of seals. In the text, the typology of the sacred motifs of seals is presented. The seals with the motives of saints are usually but not always closely related to the local patrocinium. The seal was created in a specific period and for a particular owner. The analysis of the hagiographic encrustation of the seal speaks not only of the objective factors, but also expresses the subjective circumstances of the wearer. The most important note of the author is that the seal is a significant historical source.

Seals are one of the specific sources which can be used to study medieval history. The seals of ecclesiastical institutions and ecclesiastical individuals form a big and an exceptional group in terms of iconography. A necessary condition for their use is first and foremost to make them accessible to professional researchers, to study and analyse them and publish the findings. The following text introduces a few fragmentary sources, the seals of the Church representatives from Spiš dated to the 14th and 15th centuries. The seals of three representatives of the religious orders (Benedictines, Cistercians and the Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre) and three priests of the Spiš parishes are presented. The seals were part of four documents made in a privilegial way. The contribution focuses sigillographic and iconographic analysis of the mentioned seals.

Old Akkadian glyptic remarks various representations of the sun-god Utu/Shamash in the aspect of its rise. This cosmological moment is definable not only on the basis of attributes which the sun-god disposes, but also other visual features are presented which complete the colour of the rise. Presented elements have analogical versions in the text namely in the Akkadian Gilgamesh Epic. Other Mesopotamian texts with cosmologic elements are used as a supplement in the practise in the comparison of seals with Epic. Seals and Epic content have in common mythological motifs in the representation of (two-) mountain, cosmic gate and the figure of a scorpion-man. The topic of the article is the rate link between glyptic and the text in the way of listed motifs. Some of the influences cannot be totally excluded mostly if we speak about the scorpion-man. If these influences had occurred they were caused only from the sides of seals on the Epic because the latter is about one millennium younger. It seems that the analogical appearance of motifs is possible to assign to the dent of cosmological and mythological imaginations retold in Mesopotamia which were used for texts and glyptic.
