This article is concerned with visualization in early Modern culture. it is based on the theoretical approach to the image and its function in Western christian culture from the early Middle Ages onwards. the article demonstrates how this understanding is reflected chiefly in devotional lite rature in the form of prayers and meditation. using period texts it demonstrates their potential for visualization, which serves not only to illustrate, but also, indeed mainly, to form the mnememes, which have other important uses in religion. the article also demonstrates the links between visual and literary documents, of which the theory of perception and memory have been its shared starting points since classical Antiquity, linked by an early Modern understanding of the image in the roman catholic religion. the article offers new perspectives on early Modern documents of literature, reveals certain mechanisms concealed within them, and calls for their interdisciplinary study.

This is a continuation of the debate on approaches to publishing editions of Early Modern Czech literature. The author responds to Jan Malura‘s review of an edition of the Baroque this article considers Velký život Krista, a Czech edition of Leben Christi, Baroque verse by Martin von Cochem (1634–1712) (Česká literature, 2009/2), and thus continues the debate on the format of accompanying material of editions of Early Modern Czech literature, for example, explanatory notes. Miloš Sládek rejects Malura‘s reproaches, describes this Cochem edition as one of several possible ways of compiling editions of Early Modern Czech literature. For example, he rejects Malura’s call for the publication of anthologies of selections instead of whole Baroque texts. Similarly, Sládek does not believe it most suitable in a preface to stress the composition of a work at the expense of placing the text in its context of time and place.

This is the continuation of a debate on the approaches to be taken in publishing editions of Early Modern Czech literature. The author responds to the articles of Miloš Sládek and Jan Linka, which take issue with his review of Velký život Krista, a Czech edition of Leben Christi, Baroque verse by Martin von Cochem (1634–1712) (Malura, Česká literature, 2009/2; Sládek, Česká literature, 2009/4; Linka, Česká literature, 2009/3). The author takes issue with some of the reproaches of his opponents and chiefly develops his idea of the form editions of Early Modern Czech literature should have.

This is the continuation of a debate on approaches to the publishing of editions of Early Modern Czech literature. The author is here replying to an article by Jan Malura (Česká literature, 2009/4), thus again contributing to the debate about the publication of editions of Early Modern Czech literature (Malura, Česká literature, 2009/2; 2009/4; Sládek, Česká literature, 2009/4; Linka, Česká literature, 2009/3). The article is followed by a message from the editors, which concludes this contribution.

The article is based on the analysis of sources related to the cases of suicide in early modern Wroclaw, before the period of violent changes connected with industrialization. The main aim of the project was reconstructing the process of treating suicides in that city and comparing Wroclaw to other large European cities of those times. The material status of the deceased was also included in the analysis, as were his/her origins and the time of death. The author also tried to determine the evolution of the way of dealing with the corpses of suicides during the analysed period, as well as what were the causes of changes in this respect, where they came from and what exactly they represented. The number of cases collected also allowed to prepare basic (but also preliminary) statistical data concerning the Wroclaw suicides. The purpose was to establish the relationship between the type of death chosen and sex. Similar analyses were quite rarely attempted for the area of Europe. In Poland the problem of suicidal death only ap­peared on the margins of other types of research. The results of the project partly overlap with the conclusions of authors from other countries (mainly Germany).

The study is concerned with the interpretative possibilities provided by oaths in the context of Early Modern society in the Kingdom of Hungary. Using the example of texts of oaths from the end of the 17th century and first half of the 18th century from the royal borough of Bardejov, it analyses the changes occurring in the environment of the burghers or holders of burgher rights and their political elites. Attention is devoted to the development of relationships between the centre, endeavouring to increase uniformity and incorporate the town into the structures serving the aim of establishing state power in the modern sense of the word, and the town community, which strove to maintain its particular rights. Confessional differences also played an important role in the process. The cultural and social roles of the languages in which the oath texts are recorded, are also interpreted.
