The article analyzes a fragment of the 12th-century account of the miracles of Henry II, created for the purposes of promoting the cult of this Holy German Emperor. The article, therefore, discusses the narrative threads regarding the perception of the Slavic peoples by 12th-century Bamberg clergy, the collective authors of Miracula Sancti Heinrici, with particular emphasis placed upon the conception of promoting the cult of Henry II beyond the boundaries of the Reich and transplanting it to Poland. To that end, the article analyzes two excerpts from the manuscript, which document the intentions of transplanting the cult of the Holy Emperor to the territory of the Slavic lands, and Poland in particular. The first of those excerpts concerns an account of the miraculous healing of a Slavic man in Merseburg, while the second recounts a vision of Werner, the Bishop of Płock. Therefore, the article considers first and foremost the ideological meaning of the discussed examples excerpted from the source text, including the historical context of its creation.

Die Arbeit setzt sich zum Ziel, eine Passage aus dem Bericht des 12. Jahrhunderts über die Wunder von Heinrich II. dem Heiligen zu analysieren. Der besprochene Bericht entstand zum Zwecke der Förderung des Kultes des deutschen Herrschers. Im Artikel werden solche Hand‑ lungsstränge behandelt, die mit der Wahrnehmung von den Slawen und den slawischen Län‑ dern durch den Bamberger Klerus des 12. Jahrhunderts - den Kollektivautor des Textes Miracula Sancti Heinrici - verbunden sind. Besonderes Augenmerk richtet sich auf die Fragen, die mit dem Konzept zusammenhängen, den Kult von Heinrich II. außerhalb der Reichsostgrenzen zu fördern und ihn in Polen einzuimpfen. Im Artikel werden zwei Passagen der Quelle ana‑ lysiert, die die Ideen dokumentieren, den Kult des heiligen Kaisers auf die slawischen Länder und insbesondere auf Polen zu übertragen. In der einen Passage wird das Wunder der Heilung eines Slawen aus Merseburg beschrieben, die andere handelt von der Vision des Bischofs Wer‑ ner von Płock. Die Überlegungen betreffen die ideologische Aussagekraft der genannten Quel‑ lenbeispiele unter Berücksichtigung des historischen Kontextes der Entstehung von miraculum.
This study analyses the key poetological and typological aspects of Ján Kollár´s autobiography Pamäti z mladších rokov života. The first part analyses the external impulses behind the creation of the text and hence the period genre discourse structure in order to point out its specific (initiation) status. Works that may have acted as an inspiration for Kollár as he drafted his text are also the subject of analysis and comparison. The second part of the study focuses on a detailed analysis of individual epic levels of Pamäti, with a foregrounded Slavonic ethnicity creation process and its key constitutive factors and symbols. The second prominent aspect is the reflection of the aesthetic category in the text of the autobiography in association with its formal (syntactic and stylistic) and content-based components. The study centres around an analysis of the category of the characters, one of the most important elements in the autobiography (taking into account the psychological elaborateness and the episodic nature of the individual characters). This chapter is also partially focused on the self-identification of the autobiographical subject and the problem of forming relations with those around (social communication). The final part of the study comprises a compositional and genological characterization of the work.
