The article aims to discuss the names of Reformation-related religious dissenters included in Samuel Bogumił Linde’s Słownik języka polskiego (Polish language dictionary) which are not listed in Słownik polszczyzny XVI wieku (16th-century Polish language dictionary). The analysis of the material shows that Linde’s dictionary is a valuable, multi-layer complement to the sixteenth-century vocabulary listed inSłownik polszczyzny XVI wieku in the area of names of Reformation-related religious dissenters. First, Linde records sixteenth-century vocabulary related to the religious fractions of the time that is missing from Słownik polszczyzny XVI wieku even though it was in use at the time. Importantly, whenever he provides the source of a given lexeme, it is rarely from the sixteenth century. The lexicon also includes feminine forms of believers missing from Słownik polszczyzny XVI wieku that originated from the masculine forms listed in both dictionaries. Finally, Linde’s work presents the evolution of each religion and the emergence of new fractions, especially in the Orthodox Churchand post-Reformation churches, hence it includes the names of believers of religions that emerged after the sixteenth century.

One of the first edificatory miscellany in Ukrainian lands that survived until now is Uspenski collection compiled on the edge of the XIIth and the XIIIth centuries. Different types of edificatory miscellanies such as Prologues, Emerald book, Minea, Panegyric circulated in Kyivan Metropolitanate during Middle Ages. In the XVth century in the lands of Belarus and Ukraine was compiled so called Minea of 1489 with translated texts into local vernacular. The renovation of traditional edificatory miscellanies continued in the first decades of the XVIth century. The Reformation influenced on the creation of such a new type of miscellanies as Edificatory Gospel under the influences of Postylla by Mikołaj Rey.

The study compares an undated text of an evangelical church ordinance found in the archive of the town of Lipník nad Bečvou probably from the beginning of the 1590s with a church ordinance that was created at an assembly of the evangelical nobility and clergy in Velké Meziříčí in October 1576, the final version of which was printed in Frankfurt an der Oder in 1581 and 1584. These textually very similar sources were studied in the context of integration attempts of Moravian evangelicals that took place in the last third of the 16th century and were meant to lead to a creation of a unified evangelical religious organization for the entire land. The study follows engagements of individual actors in these attempts, the basis of which was the church ordinance from Velké Meziříčí. It focusses especially on the role of the evangelical nobility that was involved in the making of the order from Velké Meziříčí and subsequently strove to disseminate it. It also discusses support the evangelical nobility and clergy sought for their activities in the Holy Roman Empire. In conclusion, the study attempts to answer the question as to why all these attempts to constitute a supraregional evangelical religious organization in Moravia failed. The study is based on evangelical sources and on the study of written documents by their catechismal opponents from among the Catholics and the Unity of Brethren.

Miloslav Kaňák (1917–1985) was a Professor at the Jan Hus Czechoslovak Theological Faculty of Prague. M. Kaňák was appointed head of the department of history there in 1950 and worked there until 1981. He pursued his interest in five areas: general history, the period of the National Revival in Bohemia, the Modernist movement of Czech Catholic clergymen, the beginnings of the contemporary Czechoslovak Independent Hussite Church as well as the history of the Medieval Hussite period with special attention to its roots. The paper also pays deeper attention not only to the circumstances of the origin, but also the content of Kanak’s monograph on the English reformer John Wycliffe. The main result of Kanak’s study of this issue was the book: John Wycliffe: The Life and Work of the English Hus Predecessor which was published in Prague in 1973. The book includes an interpretation of the life and writings of Wycliffe and deals with the reception of Wycliffe’s doctrine in Bohemia. The author also discusses the Lollard Movement in England.

The article presents the genesis and the features of the Renaissance religious writings of the Tatars of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the context of the translations of the Bible into national languages. An analysis was performed on a Tatar tefsir, which – according to the most recent research – is a translation of the Qur’an into a European language – the third translation of this kind in the world. Due to the fact that in the 16th century a Polish and even a European Qur’anic translational tradition did not exist, this translation makes reference to the Biblical-psalter literature of the Middle Ages and to the translations of the Scripture of the Reformation, inter alia as far as the selection of the methods and the ways of translation or the adoption of specific translational solutions is concerned. Thus the translation belongs to the translational tradition of sacred books and to the most important trends of Polish and European culture. In this context, a medieval tradition (a continuation of the achievements of translation studies of the 15th c.) and the innovation of the Renaissance overlap. There is an analogy with the 16th-century Biblical printed texts, which also represent a transitional stage – they make reference to a medieval tradition and they also take advantage of the benefits of humanist Biblical studies.

The present text puts itself into the context of the 500 anniversary of the Reformation in 2017. The author provides an overview of the most important acts and documents connected with the preparation of the event. He initially attempts to sketch out a typology of various kinds of approaches which emerge when speaking of the issue. In connection with the political-cultural and confessional way of interpretation, he strengths the ecumenical dimension. The contribution subsequently provides impulses in order to support an ecumenically responsible and theologically founded approach, which the Christian might acquire in connection with the Year of the Reformation. As the crucial points, the two following perspectives are proposed: trust in God’s Providence and the ability to discern the gifts. The Reformation can contribute to the authentic reform of the Church and the restoration of unity among all Christians.

Jan Hus v proměnách šesti století

According to the Hussite approach, and also according to the approach of the Reformation streams, the death of Jan Hus represented a turning point in history, a return to the binding road to salvation. This is demonstrated in the Hussite chronicles, and also the depictions of Jan Hus as a witness to the first day and a Saint comparable to the early Christian martyrs. Although the Catholic environment viewed Jan Hus and the Hussites as heretics doomed to eternal torment in the flames of Hell, the preacher of Bethlehem Chapel was considered both a savvy and dangerous opponent. These two basic and extremely different approaches continued into the last quarter of the 18th century, when the Enlightenment began to present Jan Hus as a victim of conscience and the proclaimer of the primacy of state power. This interpretation, which viewed the current issues of the day in connection with Hus’ struggle, continued up until the last days of the 20th century. There is a lack of understanding of the true essence of Hus’ efforts in the contemporary Post-modern perception of the world, however. The logical results of this misunderstanding are recurrent, outdated explanations involving stereotypes, simplification and a tabloid approach.

At the outset of the article, selected tendencies and phenomena encountered in the piety of the late Middle Ages – which directly or indirectly influenced the shaping of the liturgical life of the Reformation period – were briefly presented. Next, in the core part of the paper, two basic types of the Lord’s Supper liturgy, which were formed in the first years of the Reformation, were discussed: these are the so-called ‘Mass’ and ‘Upper German’ types. The genesis, the formation process and structure of the most significant prototypes of the Supper liturgy are presented without a detailed analysis of numerous rites modelled based on them. The final part of the article generally characterises the Reformation liturgies of the Lord’s Supper with an indication of their vital differences and similarities.

W artykule najpierw zostały krótko ukazane wybrane tendencje i fenomeny, spotykane w pobożności późnego średniowiecza, które pośrednio lub bezpośrednio wpłynęły na kształtowanie się życia liturgicznego reformacji. Następnie w głównej części przedłożenia omówiono dwa zasadnicze typy liturgii Wieczerzy Pańskiej, które ukonstytuowały się w pierwszych latach reformacji: tzw. typ mszalny oraz tzw. typ górnoniemiecki. Przedstawiono genezę, proces kształtowania się i strukturę najważniejszych prototypów liturgii Wieczerzy bez szczegółowego analizowania licznych obrządków na nich wzorowanych. W końcowej części artykułu reformacyjne liturgie Wieczerzy Pańskiej zostały w ogólny sposób scharakteryzowane ze wskazaniem na ich istotne różnice i podobieństwa.

Artykuł przybliża mało znaną historię powstania i strukturę pierwszego oficjalnego katechizmu Kościoła Katolickiego, tak zwanego Katechizmu Rzymskiego. Prace nad nowym katechizmem rozpoczęto na Soborze Trydenckim, 5 kwietnia 1546 roku, a ukończono już po jego zamknięciu, 23 września 1566 roku. W związku z pojawieniem się protestantyzmu, najwięcej dyskusji wzbudzał sam charakter dzieła, a także jego zastosowanie. Część teologów i przedstawicieli władzy świeckiej optowała za stworzeniem katechizmu typowo polemicznego, jednak większość była zwolennikami pozytywnej wykładni doktryny katolickiej. W artykule, oprócz historii powstania tekstu, analizie poddano również wewnętrzną strukturę dzieła. Podczas gdy większość katechizmów katolickich była napisana według schematu: wyznanie wiary – modlitwa – dekalog – sakramenty, Katechizm Rzymski prezentował nowy porządek: wyznanie wiary – sakramenty – dekalog – modlitwa.

The article presents a little-known story of the origin and structure of the fi rst official catechism of the Catholic Church, the Roman Catechism. Although the idea of creating a single, universal catechism for the whole Church already existed in the 15th century, its implementation began only after Luther’s breach with the Roman Catholic Church and the division of Christianity. Work on the new catechism began at the Council of Trent on 5 April 1546 and was completed after its closure, 23 September 1566. In the meantime, the project underwent many changes. Due to the emergence of Protestantism, the very nature of the work as well as its application were strongly disputed. Some theologians and representatives of the secular authority opted for the creation of a polemical catechism, but the majority supported a positive interpretation of the Catholic doctrine. In addition to the history of the text, the article focused on the internal structure of the work. From the patristic times onwards, religious education revolved around four basic elements: the profession of faith, the Ten Commandments, the sacraments and prayer. Over time these elements became part of all catechisms, including the Roman Catechism. However, they did not always follow the same pattern. While most of the Catholic catechisms were written in accordance with the following pattern: the profession of faith – prayer – the Ten Commandments – the sacraments, the Roman Catechism presented a new order: the profession of faith – the sacraments – the Ten Commandments – prayer. According to the research conducted in the article, this pattern was probably used deliberately, because it was more suitable for the Catholic doctrine of justifi cation.

Hus v myšlení a tradici pravoslavné církve

The interpretation of Master Jan Hus has gone through significant changes in the Orthodox environment over the last 600 years. He was viewed as one of the initiators of the world’s Reformation movement in the 16th and 17th centuries. He was strictly condemned for this reason during this period in the writings of Russian Orthodox authors (as well as Luther, Calvin and Zwingli). The first radical change to this opinion occurred in the 19th century. Hus is portrayed in the writings of Slavophile authors as completely or almost entirely Orthodox. This understanding was resumed in renewed Czech Orthodox Church. It even resulted in a request for the canonization of Hus sent to the Russian Holy Synod in 1903 although the Russian Holy Synod did not respond to the question concerning Hus’ holiness. The Czech-Moravian Church of Saint Bishop Gorazd had a similarly ambiguous and cautious stance on Hus. This is also suggested by the liturgical texts for the feast day of 6th July and the prayer book entitled Lidový sborník. There are certain supporters of Hus’ canonization at present although their position is not particularly strong.

The following article presents the history of St Mark’s Monastery, belonging to the Order of Augustinian Hermits. The paper examines the history of the foundation, the donations made by knights and noblemen, the issues of forming the estate in the villages of Podgórzno and Piława Dolna as well as the profiles of the monks connected with the local monastery. The monastery was liquidated in 1525 as a result of the Reformation. The monks, however, sold the estate of the monastery and that is why they had no chance to regain their property in Dzierżoniów and its environs.

W niniejszym artykule prezentowane są dzieje klasztoru pw. św. Marka należącego do zakonu augustianów-eremitów. Omówione są dzieje fundacji, donacji rycerskich i szlacheckich, kwestie budowy kompleksu majątkowego we wsiach Podgórzno i Piława Dolna. Przedstawiono również sylwetki zakonników związanych z miejscowym klasztorem. Klasztor został zlikwidowany w 1525 roku na skutek postępującej Reformacji, jednak majątek klasztorny został przez samych zakonników rozprzedany, stąd też w późniejszym okresie stracili szanse na jego restytucję w Dzierżoniowie i w okolicach.

This present study aims to familiarise the Reader with some of the ideas contained in speeches of Benedict XVI – given at ecumenical meetings, chiefly with Protestants, but also during the general audiences on the Weeks of Prayer for Christian Unity and during the vespers for the conclusion of those Weeks. In his speeches, Benedict XVI indicates the positives that he sees in Martin Luther's teachings, emphasises the significance of the Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, whilst also pointing out what still needs to be refined together. He states that one must not disregard theological issues in the ecumenical dialogue. The warnings of Benedict XVI against making mistakes in the ecumenical dialogue and in the interpretation of unity itself are significant. In each of his speeches, he encourages to deepen one's spiritual ecumenism, invites to pray for unity, demonstrates that complete and visible unity is, above all, the work of God. His encouragements to bear witness to God's priority in the Christian life together to the world, to oppose secularisation together, to defend the human dignity and life and their associated ethical values together are also important.
