The subject of the analysis is a lesser-known study by Rudo Brtáň (1907 – 1998) about Slovak classicist Juraj Rohoň (1773 – 1831), originally from the Turiec region that spent most of his life in Low Land. The study titled Juraj Rohoň was published by R. Brtáň in a literature and culture magazine of Yugoslavian Slovaks called Nový život/New Life/ in 1965, which is produced in Serbia. This is why it remained less accessible and known to a significant part of Slovak literary science. Brtáň´s paper has fundamental importance for understanding of J. Rohoň´s life and work. His findings are confronted with several recent investigations (S. Čelovský, E. Brtáňová, M. Babiak) in the study. A significant part of Brtáň´s research is focused on genealogy, where besides Rohoň´s immediate relatives he tracked other notable figures of this national revivalist, intellectual and artistic family. He also describes in more detail Rohoň´s main literary works: so-called apologias Chvála Slováků/Apotheosis of Slovaks and Palma/A Palm Tree, a collection of neoclassical poems Kratochvílne zpěvy pro mládež rolníckou/Leisure Time Songs for the Farming Youth/, and also a collection of Slovak folk songs Starodávne zpěvy lidu slovenského v Uhrách/Ancient Songs of Slovak Folk in Hungary/, which became a part of Kollár´s Národnie spievanky/National Songs/. The works which defended Slovaks and Slavs earned Rohoň a place in Ján Kollár´s poem Slávy dcera/The Daughter of Sláva/ – Kollár placed him alongside other authors who had published apologias in the Slavic heaven.

The goal of the paper is to explore the contribution of Rudo Brtáň´s (1907 – 1998) editorial work in completing and presenting the author profile of the Romantic poet Samo Chalupka (1812 – 1883). During his life Chalupka became the author of the only poetry book titled Spevy/Songs/. The later publishers and editors made various interventions in its composition, and by adding poems published in magazines and poems from manuscripts they came to compile Chalupka´s collected works. Brtáň´s work expanded on the editorial outcomes of his predecessors, it made use of the gradually gained knowledge of Chalupka´s poetry and it alone became a resource for the future editors of Chalupka´s poetry or work (most recently in 2014 an overview of Chalupka´s production across genres was offered by Janka Pácalová in her compilation Básne a starožitnosti/Poems and Antiquities). In an effort to define Brtáň´s significance in this chain a comparison of relevant editions of Chalupka´s work was made – Spevy/Songs/ published in the years 1868, 1898 and 1912, Básnické dielo/Poetic Works/ published in 1952 and 1973, and Básne a starožitnosti/Poems and Antiquities (2014)/. One of the strengths lying in Brtáň´s editorial performance was the fact that he was the last to date to have an opportunity to work with some of the authentic resources and to attempt at offering readers selected fragments of Chalupka´s poetry. The paper reveals Brtáň´s methods of researching Chalupka´s poetry, his way of making comments on and giving information about him.

The goal of the paper is to explore the forms of calendar poetry written by Juraj Palkovič (1769 – 1850) and to assess the reliability of the related research conclusions drawn by Rudo Brtáň (1907 – 1998). The starting point is Palkovič´s calendar edition Větší a zvláštnější nový i starý kalendář/A bigger and more interesting new and old calendar/, the individual editions of which had more or less permanent poetic sections in it: in the calendar part so-called poems under the months, in the weather lore poems related to the season and in the insert of the calendar so-called humorous „fairy-tales“. Although the texts in question were analysed by several researchers, in particular by Rudo Brtáň, the existing findings and conclusions require at least verification, further expansion or, if necessary, corrections. The paper focuses on the thematic and motivic, rhetoric and poetic and prosodic aspects of the original texts and offers complex processing of them in the scope of all the editions of the calendar (1805 – 1848). From the viewpoint of prosody, poetology and textology (the issue of the author attribution) the paper pays attention to Classicisism or Roccoco style poems about four seasons. The poems under the months are used to study the development of Palkovič´s creative personality. It takes notice of the dynamics of the themes, the rhetoric, poetic and prosodic aspects. The literary motifs monitored throughout Palkovič´s calendar poetry include the motif of a woman and the motif of alcohol. The conclusions show that the results of Brtáň´s research in this area are still valuable, although rather selectively. They are invaluable for contemporary researchers when trying to orient themselves in the wide resource base, however, it shows that the original texts require new complex reading, which raises a number of questions still unanswered.

The paper reflects on the history of literary translation and the inter-literary relations presented in the monograph by Rudo Brtáň titled Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). Život a dielo (1974)/ Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). Life and Work (1974)/. This is the first complex monograph written on B. Tablic in the historiography of Slovak literary history and it is closely related to R. Brtáň´s systematic interest in the history of Slovak literature of the national revival period. B. Tablic is reflected on as a pioneer of literary translation in Slovakia and his translations as well as his own literary production are placed in a wider inter-literary context. The paper analyses and assesses Brtáň´s approach to the issues of literary historical and translatology reflection of Tablic´s translations from German, English and French. It sees his translations and his own production in the Czechoslovak context. It maps the range of the authors translated and their links to the literary aesthetical preferences of that time. Brtáň´s monograph is seen critically here, especially in contrast with newer literary historical findings and research into the history of literary translation. The paper points out to several historically constrained assessments of Tablic´s translations (translations of the works by J. A. Hermes a J. J. Spalding), verifies Brtáň´s inaccuracies when identifying the original texts of individual translations and translation adaptations (interconnections between ballads by G. A. Bürger and Tablic´s production, the issue of Tablic´s mistake about the authorship of the ballad by T. Percy The Hermit of Warkworth), in addition, Brtáň´s analyses of his book translations (Anglické múzy v česko-slovenském oděvu/English Muses in Czechoslovak Clothing) and the translation of Nicolas Boileau´s Umění básnířské /The Art of Poetry are reflected on against a background of recent research into this subject.

The paper is dedicated to the literary historical legacy of the Slavist Rudo Brtáň (1907 – 1998). It is inspired by Brtáň´s research on Slovak-language Low-land literature, in particular the chapter Literature and Culture of Slovak Protestants in Sarvaš (1722 – 1918), which comes from the yet unpublished manuscript titled Slovak-language Low-land Literature until 1918. The paper focuses on the work of Michal Markovič Sr. (1707 – 1762/4), who worked in Sarvaš (present-day Hungary) as a Slovak evangelical priest. The analysis deals with Markovič´s collection of poems called Duchovní zrcadlo ženského pohlaví z Písem svatých představené/The Spiritual Mirror of the Female Sex presented in the Holy Scriptures, printed probably in Bratislava in 1783. The method of the text analysis is supported by the theoretical assumptions of the Czech literary historian Eduard Petrů, who saw the basis for the interpretation of a literary work in revealing the interpretation core. The goal is to identify the author´s intention encoded in the genesis of Markovič´s collection, and to decode the reader´s interpretation of that time. Markovič wrote the collection in order to stimulate moral attitudes of the whole evangelical community, not only the women´s. He composed it with the intention to support the Bible self-study motivating the readers with the inserted biblical coordinates as well as narratives reduced to several poetic lines. The contribution of the analysis can be seen in classifying the genre of the collection as a collection of epigram-like poems. These findings confirm the influence of ancient and renaissance literature on Slovak literary production written in the local vernacular in the mid-18th century.

Occasional poetry is an important part of literary production of Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). It was reflected on by the literary historian Rudo Brtáň (1907 – 1998) in his works focused on literature written at the turn of the 19th century or in his monograph Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). Život a dielo/Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). Life and Work/ published in 1974. He did not exclude the occasional poetry as a peculiar or even inferior group of writings without a notable message but he attributed it an important function and a significant role in forming the poetic profile of Bohuslav Tablic as well as Slovak literature of that time. The synthesis of Brtáň´s assessments of B. Tablic´s occasional poetry along with the results of the contemporary analyses of individual poetic texts form the basis for this paper that concentrates on defining the development of Tablic´s poetic means of expression in this particular type of poetic production featuring a distinct updating dimension, where the up-to-date nature alone was a guarantee of certain attractiveness. Although the results of the contemporary research make it necessary to reassess some of R. Brtáň´s conclusions, several of his findings, especially the starting position of respect for occasional poetry, remain an important impulse for further literary historical analyses and interpretations of Tablic´s work as a whole.
