The article discusses six coins and a reckoning counter discovered near the remains of the ruined inn at Siemichów (distr. Środa Śląska). The inn was destroyed in 1945. The numismatic series, recovered within a radius of not more than 10 m from the ruins of the public house, is a mixed selection of five coins and a reckoning counter. In the first part of the article the author gives a brief overview of the history of the locality and its public house. The first known reference to Siemichów is from 1795, when the locality appears under the name of Neudörfel. Analysis of archival maps helped push back the origins of the locality to at least 1736. Its name then was “Neu Kretscham”. On Wernher’s map from around 1755 it appears as “Neu Kretsche”. The root in both these names – Kretscham – is a borrowing in German from the Slav karczma, meaning an inn or a public house. There is reason to believe that the inn gave rise to the settlement. The name Siemichów given to the locality after 1945 has nothing in common with this earlier name. The coin series includes a 1696 greschel struck by the mint in Brzeg (Germ. Brieg) during the reign of Emperor Leopold I (1658-1705); a coin with a face value of 1/48 thaler struck in Berlin in 1772, in the reign of Frederick II (1740-1786); a coin with a face value of 1/24 thaler struck during the reign of the same ruler in 1782 in Berlin. There were also two tokens. One of them lacks closer marks of its issuer; its period of issue was determined basing on its stylistic details as around 1920. The other token, with a face value of 5 pfennings, was issued by the authorities of the Lower Silesian town Sagan in 1917. At the same time, by far the most interesting in the series is a reckoning counter produced in the workshop of Johann Jacob Dietzel, tradesman active in Nurnberg in the period 1711-1748. In conclusion, basing on the series of stray coin finds from Siemichów the author proposes to push back the dating of the origin of this locality to a period earlier than the one known from the cartographic, not to mention the written, sources.

With the end of the ancient world, philosophical and ethical thought of Aristotle was also forgotten. Resumption of his ideas is connected with the high medieval period. In the early 12th century, only two of his works were translated into the Latin, and only in the second half of the century translations of other works began to appear. After the recovery of Aristotle by European scholars, his ideas started to spread quickly and became considerably important for various authors dealing with different issues. The main aim of this paper is the description of Aristotle’s notion of justice and its reflections in our cultural area. In accordance with this issue, the paper analyzes specific problems in the works of famous scholars from our cultural area in early modern period and shows how it was reflected and grasped.

The aim of this study is to demarcate the musical topography of the Spiš/Zips region focusing on individual local settlements (towns, villages, monasteries, aristocratic residences). Creating a topographic network of Spiš in the Early Modern Period requires music-historical research at least from five angles of view: research on musical sources, on historical musical instruments, on chronicles and contemporaneous prints, on archival sources and research on historical maps. However, towns (civitas, oppidum) certainly form the basic topographic unit of research. The primary musical hubs in Spiš included the cities that joined Luther’s Reformation movement and had an ethnically mixed, prevailingly Slovak-German population. The specification of the music-topographic network of Spiš enables us to identify the locally and denominationally differentiated musical life of the towns of this region.

The study focuses on Valentine’s Day in Slovakia since the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries from the perspective of festive culture. It explores public celebrations, as defined by Lars Deile (2014), associated with Valentine’s Day, and analyses them on the basis of event characteristics according to Winfried Gebhardt’s concept. The study is based on the assumption that the acceleration of eventisation is a new dynamising element of the festive culture transformation at the late modern stage (Gebhardt, 2000). The aim of the study is (1) to find out which of the Valentine’s Day public celebrations in Slovakia have the nature of an event; (2) identify the origin of and motivation for the choice of specific forms of events; (3) outline the specifics of Valentine’s Day celebrations as events in the framework of Slovakia’s festive culture. At the general level, the author is interested in the cultural dimension of the individualisation and pluralisation processes. Through three Valentine’s Day events, he traces the transformations of the trends of deinstitutionalisation, deconstruction, profanisation, multiplication, and commercialisation, which characterise the celebrations of modern society according to Gebhardt. Empirically, the study relies on the findings of the analysis of media sources about the forms of the festive practice accompanying Valentine’s Day in Slovakia. The sources come from exploratory research conducted in 2011–2021.

This study is primarily focused on an analysis of a collection of finds from the 16th and 17th century which originate from a single site. The collection, which consists mainly of ceramic and glass containers, deserves individual attention on the grounds of the range and state of preservation of the artefacts. Only through the presentation of such collections as a whole can we reach a fuller understanding of the issues of the material culture of the early modern period. The study will examine also the possible interpretations of the site on which the artefacts were found and attempt to connect the findings obtained through analysis of the artefacts with existing information about the arrangement and ownership relationships of the site within the general context of the economic, political and religious situation in Košice in the period of the 17th century.

In the fall of 2009, a rescue excavation of a section of Modern period graveyard at the All Saints church in the Metylovice village took place. In all, 28 certain and 4 possible skeleton graves were discovered. On the basis of pottery fragments it may be assumed the graves date to the end of 18th or the 19th century. Anthropological analysis made it possible to reconstruct the age at death of most skeletons. The sex and stature of most individuals, however, were impossible to estimate due to poor preservation of the skeletons.

The authors of the article deal with three axe heads and one complete axe from the National Museum of Romanian History in Romania, which can be dated from the end of the High Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period. The museum received these objects to its depositories between the year 1975 and 2015. Their mutual feature is that they were deco-rated and have not been assessed yet in regard to their shape or decoration. This decoration concerns mostly form in the case of axe with inv. no. 37793. Its head has got the openwork cheek and blade (9 holes), where 6 concave cuts are present as well. Moreover, there are 10 probable nails made of yellow non-ferrous metal in its handle and one maker’s mark on its neck that probably comprises a lime tree leaf and branch. The other three axe heads have got punched decoration. The decoration of the axe from Balta Neagră (donation no. 1555) consists mainly of lines, circles, cogged curves and their combinations. Then the specimen from Fântâna Mare (inv. no. 178595) was lavishly embellished by patterns made of cogged lines and on the axe head from Suceava (inv. no. 72492) a punched quatrefoil was only applied.

The personality of Baroness Žofia Bosniaková (1609 - 1644), daughter of the Captain of the Fiľakovo and Šurany Castle, Tomáš Bosniak and wife of the later Hungarian palatine František Vešeléni, is most often associated with her social work and charitable activities towards her peasants. Charity was also a manifestation of her piety. As a noblewoman, she realized the need for social assistance to her peasants at a time when its structure and organization were still developing in our territory. She developed her charitable activities especially during her marriage to František Vešeléni, when her home was the Strečno estate, ie manor house in Tepička nad Váhom and Strečno Castle. During this period, she was heavily involved in helping the poor, willing to listen to them and stand up for them. In addition to occasional support, she founded the Poorhouse of Seven Pains and Joys of Virgin Mary which has been operating in Teplička nad Váhom for over 300 years. However, she was not limited to the inhabitants of Strečno estate but she was also involved in the affairs of her peasants at the inherited estates. Her social work has its following, especially in the vicinity of Teplička nad Váhom, to this day. Even with regard to these facts, we can characterize the social work of Žofia Bosniaková as the central benefit of her life.

The study is a sounding into the family festivities of one of the most important families in Early Modern Hungary, the Esterhazys. The picture of the wedding ritual is supplemented with examples from other aristocratic families. Aristocratic weddings were one of the important instruments of the family policy and a potential source of increased power. The Palatine Nicholas Esterhazy was a great strategist in the field of marriage in the first half of the 17th century. It is difficult to imagine that he would have gained the office of Palatine without his two advantageous marriages. Nicholas Esterhazy conceived a family policy, in the context of which he planned the marriages of his descendants. He also organized and supported marriages at his court. Thanks to these marriages, he created a whole net of relationships at his court and in the counties where his properties were situated. Apart from marital politics, the study also examines the actual practices connected with wedding in this period, from engagement and banns to the actual ceremony.
