The article depicts Ján Kollár’s activities and life in Vienna from March to May 1849. It was short, but especially important period from Slovak history point of view. At that time, Slovak national movement hoped that Slovakia would change into autonomous political unit and thus it intensively propagated and lobbied for this program. Hope of its realization was increased by naming three personalities, including J. Kollár, as Slovak confidants of government of the empire in Vienna. Their task was to analyze the situation in the Kingdom of Hungary and provide information of Slovak society to government and its ministers. However, the study also shows the background of political events and Ján Kollár’s private life. It mainly uses his letters to his wife where Kollár depicted not only his own view on Slovak national movement, personalities of this movement and power of the empire that he met, but also his worries about the destiny of his wife and daughter who stayed in Pest. There are also his plans, desires and doubts of his future and future of his family after coming to Vienna. There are also depicted several backstage moments and motives that had led to naming Ján Kollár as professor of Slavic archaeology at the Vienna university. Edition of one of several Kollár’s elaboration (dated on 22. 3. 1849) is a part of the study where he showed an image and position of Slovak society and proposed measures that the power of empire would accept to fulfil principles of national equality in the case of Slovaks as well.

This article discusses the development of views Jan Erazim Vocel (1803–1871), a prominent archaeologist, but also the founder of Czech art history, had of the Codex of Vyšehrad. Vocel was quite naïve about early Czech book culture in the early period of the 1840s but anticipated the results of future research in the latter articles from the 1860s.

Music in 19th-Century Venezuela

Beginning as a Spanish colony to become an independent republic – the 19th century was a pivotal point for Venezuela. Socially, politically, and economically speaking, the changes were numerous, and so were the cultural and artistic manifestations that flourished in those circumstances. One of them will be tackled in this study: music. This paper is a review of one of the richest information sources: the publications of the times. Venezuelan 19th century hemerography contains hundreds of music news on composers and their environment, works, performers, musical institutions, events, concerts, critical reviews, and others of the sort. They are the witness of the events of an epoch. By analyzing them, a partial reconstruction of the Venezuelan music history can be made possible.

This paper refers to the historical experience of Poland in order to demonstrate the importance of former institutions on present regional differences in the norms regarding education. Previous studies revealed significant discrepancies between the scholastic achievements of students in different regions in Poland, ones that correspond to the partition of the country by its three neighbours (Austria, Prussia, and Russia), lasting from the late 18th century to the close of WWI. In particular, students in the former Austrian partition perform better than their peers in the two other regions. In this study, a self-designed survey of parents is used to operationalize different kinds of norms regarding education. As it turns out, parents from the region formerly under Austrian rule show more trust in educational institutions, more belief in the formative role of schooling, and less conviction in the material returns from education. The results show that contemporary discussions on the geography of educational achievements need to take into account the broad cultural context of education.

Der Aufsatz stellt die deutsche Reichsgründung von 1871 in den Kontext der Nationalstaatsbildungen in Europa seit Beginn der Frühen Neuzeit. Das Deutsche Reich, begründet als ein fester Zusammenschluss der deutschen Bundesstaaten mit Ausnahme Österreichs, schaffte es tatsächlich, einen historischen Ausgleich zwischen den partikularen Traditionen und den neueren Einheitsbestrebungen in Deutschland zu erreichen. Die hierdurch bewirkten Integrationsprozesse politischer, sozialer und wirtschaftlicher Natur festigten und stärkten den mitteleuropäischen Raum, beseitigten die durch übermäßige politische Fragmentierung bewirkten früheren Schwächen, schufen aber bis 1914 auch kein „zu starkes“ Deutschland, wie spätere verfehlte Deutungen behaupteten. Auf den Integrationsleistungen der Jahrzehnte nach 1871 beruht im Kern auch noch das heutige, seit 1990 wiedervereinigte Deutschland.

A study titled Rys grammatyki języka polskiego (Outline of the Polish grammar) was published in 1857. Antoni Morzycki, the author of the grammar book, was not a philologist by education, he wrote his study out of a sense of civic duty. He founded his concept on the dogma of the speech originating from the Word, as John the Evangelist wrote: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The man received the Word as a gi from God. The author divides grammar into three sections: phonetics and phonology, the science of the word and clause, and spelling. He adopted parallelism of parts of speech and clause as one of the rules organising the grammatical description. The book evoked an intense reaction of his contemporaries.

The article focuses on the issue of the relationship between emerging Czech national identity and male social leadership in the 19th century. The article deals with the question of male social representation related to prestige that Czech literary discourse tried to elaborate. The article concerns the attitude towards hegemonic masculinity linked to Austrian structures of power and of Germanic culture. This issue has been explored on the example of prose created by male authors originating in the period of increased national agitation which lasted from approximately the 1830s to the end of the 1870s. Focusing on reconstructions of collective normative imaginations based on literary texts is, however, insufficient. There is agreement, but also the difference between imaginatinggs, and their implementation. Therefore, literary patterns related to the social position of the Czech male patriot were confronted with the image of their “reality” preserved in Czech memoirs of the 19th century.

Former guidebooks are an important category of historical source that allows for the reconstruction of many aspects of the history of tourism. The dynamic development of guidebook literature began in the 19th century when a modern type with descriptions according to routes and containing much practical information was developed. The guidebooks also presented a lot of other information of a general nature, such as geography, ethnology, natural science, as well as descriptions of monuments and works of art. The importance of Polish guidebooks for writing about art is very high yet underestimated. The aim of this paper is to define the role that these publications played in the field of artistic historiography, and to indicate the relationships between the guidebooks and the development of academic research on art. These problems are undoubtedly an interesting area of interdisciplinary relation between the historical development of tourism and academia, with a particular focus on art history in this case.

The studied documents of the registry are linked by the time and place of origin as well as the person of the priest Celestyn Zaręba Cielecki – a parish-priest in Myślibórz who signed almost all documents from the discussed period. Nevertheless, on the basis of linguistic and graphical analysis, it has been established that the documents were drafted by as many as 13 different writers. The aim of the article is to present the non-normative features and to try to answer the question whether – on the basis of the linguistic features of the documents – we can determine the place of origin of the writers. Were they the persons representing local dialectic features, i.e., of the eastern Great Poland (Wielkopolska), or they came from other regions?

This work seeks to provide a picture of the Slovak community in the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary from the period between the conclusion of the 1848/1849 revolution and the onset of the social and political upheavals it brought to the suppression of Slovak national ambitions and all related activities in 1875. They culminated in the closing of Slovak secondary schools and Matica slovenská, as well as the collapse of the New School of the Slovak national movement which attempted reconciliation and cooperation with the Hungarian government.

The study analyses the ethnographical articles in selected periodicals published in the second half of the 19th century in Moravia: the Koleda calendar (1851-1858), the Koleda magazine (1876-1881) and the Komenský magazine (1873-1902). This study comments on the contribution of these publications to the documentation of folk culture in Moravia and formation of ethnology as a scientific discipline. It highlights the share of the editors and contributors in the formation of the calendar and both magazines and points out some motives which led to the publication of the ethnographical texts. It recalls some fundamental articles. The analysed periodicals primarily focused on folklore in the Czech lands as well as other Slavic countries, family and annual customs and superstitions. In all three cases, ethnography was a supplementary, not a primary theme. The occurrence of ethnographical texts depended on current situation.

The article is an attempt of a genre analysis of the nineteenth-century sale alcohol agreement as a contract. This is a special document, because this type of act was written only once (L-140) on 412 analyzed contracts. The genre scheme of the old contract is possible to compare it with other nineteenth-century contracts. Although not easy to describe because of the typological confusion and not always the unambiguous genre signals (contract / intermediary declaration / sale alcohol agreement), they are similar to modern notarial contracts of this type. The basic registers of quality features of a nineteenth-century contract are: a clear functional intention, a coherent, formalized structure, a monolithic, specific dialogue between the sender and the receiver, the sender’s autocreation as an expert in legal action serves to build the impression of a contract involving two parties. At the source of the contract lies one of the basic speech acts: a declaration that evokes agreement, used in many social and communication situations.

In the nineteenth century, as a result of number of sociocultural changes, the exile as a historically variable phenomenon experienced a significant reconceptualization, while at the same time its literary representations also went through changes. In this period, models trying to implement the exile in the narrative of national history show symptomatic differences and specific limits in comparison with earlier models or with models formed in the course of the twentieth century. The spatial contexts of the national narrative, which coincided with the physical absences of émigrés from the national area, were in themselves limiting. (Literary) concepts of exile therefore concentrated primarily on the outlook of those who remained behind. As far as the representation of an émigré himself was concerned, literature created a number of main model situations which "returned" him to his nationally spatial context. A reflection of the prominent post-White Mountain exile Jan Amos Comenius presented a specific possibility that overcame the limits of the spatially limited national narratives by reference to Comenius's writings which (unlike their author) were physically accessible in the Bohemian Lands – albeit to a limited degree. Distinctive cognitive metaphors (light in darkness, the labyrinth, depth of security, etc.) were also gathered from these writings, and around these an image of Comenius stabilised, in close conjunction with the topic of exile.

The National Museum of Natural History played a crucial role in the formation of Polish scientific elites in the 19th century. Many Polish students were attending in Paris natural history, botany, zoology, chemistry and mineralogy courses. The Warsaw Society of Friends of Learning was the largest scientific society and one of the most important scientific institutions in Poland. It had also an impact on the political and cultural life of the country, occupied and deprived of freedom at that time. Amongst its founders and members, could be found listeners to the lectures of Lamarck, Haüy, Vauquelin, Desfontaines, Jussieu. Moreover, seven professors of the National Museum of Natural History were elected foreign members of the Warsaw Society of Friends of Learning: Cuvier, Desfontaines, Haüy, Jussieu, Latreille, Mirbel, Vauquelin. The article analyses this choice and underlines the relationship between these scientists and Warsaw’s scientists. The results of this research allow to confirm that the National Museum of Natural History was the most important foreign institution in the 19th century for Polish science, and more specifically natural sciences.

Many legal actions from the early 19th century were new issues related to the adoption of the Code of Napoleon, which greatly expanded the scope of activities of notaries. Undoubtedly, this situation could lead to instability in the nomination of a consistent set of notarial contracts. The analysis of texts from Łuków shows that many species of acts had not yet specialized in one notarial activity, which meant that housed / combined in itself some legal forms. Synonymous names of some contracts might also result from imprecise notarial activities, with perhaps their source in the first stage of communication in which they defined a form of action. Nineteenth-century notaries called contracts too general, as compared to a legal transaction, a wide variety of agreement sets they defined as statements, intermediate statements, voluntary statements. Sometimes a subject area in the notarial acts of the early 19th century was clearly defined in the final formula.

My paper is focused on naming in one stem of my family during the 19th century. The Vosika family lived in parish Číhošť in Bohemia. I have tried to analyse names of children in this family and in the whole parish in 1785–1885. We can observe that the most important factor of the choice of the first name was its popularity. Names of parents or godparents had less influence (with the exception of the last generation). Also dates (and festivals of saints) were not important when naming members of the Vosika family.

In the second part of the 19th century, the Carpathians became a field of widely conducted research by the Polish scientists. On the basis of source materials we can reconstruct the conditions of those research. In the majority of cases the field works were carried on in difficult or even very difficult conditions. While getting to the foothill did not cause major problems, the state of transport and communication in mountainous terrain was very poor. Especially in the area of Eastern Carpathians there was practically no transport at all. Scientists had to cope with serious shortages in infrastructure – both in accommodation and available food; their diet was deficient and poor in nutrients. They were forced to spend the nights in spartan conditions, lack of guides evoked widespread criticism, the maps at their disposal were unsatisfactory, and the scientists were solely left to their own resources. Each time they decided to explore an area, they were aware of its difficult accessibility. The farther east they went, the worse accessibility of particular Carpathian range they encountered, and that situation extremely hampered their research. Thy had no specialist equipment to move in mountainous terrain and so were forced to settle for what they had – mostly things not suitable for field works. One has to remember that they had to use a lot of research equipment, which made it hard to move around. Their research work was also highly dependent on weather conditions and according to the sources, weather often hampered it or even prevented them from undertaking it at all. Despite all those adversities, the Polish scientists representing mainly the Kraków scientific institutions – the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences and its Physiography Committee, as well as the Jagiellonian University – conducted field research in all the ranges of Western and Eastern Carpathian Mountains for decades. Regardless of very difficult, often extreme, conditions of field work, the scientists carried out their responsibilities excellently, making their substantial contribution to the development of Polish and European science.

The almanacs represented an important source and constituent part of the popular culture in the „long“ nineteenth century. The text focuses on the by now slightly studied almanacs of Czech Protestants and, as a supplement, also contains its register. First Protestant calendars were published after the authorization of Protestant denominations at the end of the eighteenth century, but due to the economic weakness of these minorities soon ceased to exist. The next wave of their publishing was connected with liberalism of the middle of the nineteenth century and the social emancipation of Protestants. But the defeat of the revolution of 1848 again caused their demise. Systematic publishing of Protestant almanacs took place only in the last third of the nineteenth century, when their principal role was the gradual deepening of the confessional consciousness. From the beginning of the twentieth century these almanacs were used in the efforts for uniting of Czech Lutheran and Reformed Churches. This union was realized after the constitution of Czechoslovakia in the year 1918. Later Protestant almanacs were mostly regular ecclesiastical yearbooks without broader implications.
