The article looks into tasks assigned to the preaching office in Protestant communities in towns of Upper Hungary in the 16th and 17th centuries (Pentapolitana league). It tackles the issue from the perspective of the history of ideas and contextual historical analysis. The analysis is based on a corpus of theological and normative texts of secular and religious character from the studied region. An outline of the theological frame (given by basic dogmatic texts) that for the Protestant communities served as the background for defining the nature of preaching office is followed by an analysis of expectations set by the representatives of the local church and town communities. Key to these are the matters of dogmatic orthodoxy and issues related to the contents of preaching, the expected social impact, and requirements set on preachers by secular and religious bodies. The article also outlines the opportunities and limitations for implementation of the idealised image of the preaching office in specific conditions of individual towns, especially with regards to educational and dogma-related requirements and the conflicting potential of preaching with respect to the secular power.

Along the history of Central and Eastern Europe, a great variety of intercultural conflicts has been emerged in this region, among which a special form of conflict is embodied by tensions between vernacular language groups within medieval and early modern urban communities. Despite many valuable research results, the question of pre-modern vernacular conflicts is generally on the periphery of academic interest; while particular urban histories have explored much around these events, a general conceptualization seems to be lacking. This paper attempts to contribute to the academic discourse with a conceptualization, trying to clarify the specifics of these pre-modern vernacular urban conflicts in a comparative way, comparing them with modern nationalisms. As a result, it is concluded that pre-modern tensions between vernaculars were driven both by differing interests and emotions of the parties – like in case of modern nationalisms – but, unlike modern nationalisms, they lacked an intellectual motive. This lack of intellectual motives is embodied in the non-participation of circles of people-of-letters in these conflicts and in the apparent absence of explanatory narratives that could provide more abstract reasons for situational contradictions than pure conflicts of interest or emotional hatred and distrust.

Pentapolitana was a league of the five most important royal free cities in Upper Hungary. Epigraphic monuments created to represent individuals or the urban community were important components of the extensive architecture, as well as various movable or immovable artefacts. Monumental but also simple spontaneous inscriptions often express the worldview of the community or the individual. They also point to the influences of the surrounding or remote countries from which the creators or recipients of inscriptions originated, helping modern observers to understand the cultural relationships between various regions. This article focuses on the content of medieval urban epigraphs and their urban character, discussing their contribution to our knowledge of the history of these five cities from a political and cultural point of view.

The study is devoted to the hitherto unstudied phenomenon of accusations that Jews in Upper Hungary were involved in so-called “ritual murders”, in the context of the modernization of anti-Jewish prejudices around 1900. The key question is: To what degree was the transformation of traditional accusations away from ritual murders reflected in the propaganda of the anti-liberal opposition figures led by the representatives of political Catholicism, and not least in relation to their nationality policy and the reactions of representatives of the Slovak national movement.
