The paper presents results of GPR measurements in three sites in Nitra “Lower Town”. In two cases they included perished medieval sacral architectures (Church of St. Jacob, Church of St. Michal), while the third one is the still standing, and in use, object (Church of St. Stephen). All the mentioned churches fulfilled an important function in the life of the medieval Nitra. However, there are no relevant written sources for any of them, which would provide satisfactory explanation of the time of their origin. In case of the two perished sacral objects (Church of St. Jacob, Church of St. Michal) not even their exact localisation is known. Therefore the aim of the measurements was mainly to verify possibilities how to identify the architectures and, at the same time, to explore their wider surrounding, with a possibility of detecting the presence of other archaeological objects. The measurement in the area of Svätopluk Square detected the presence of a marked anomaly in places where the tower of St. Goerge´s Church (pulled down in 1882) is assumed to have been standing. The other anomalies which could be associated with the walls of the remaining parts of the church (pulled down in 1786) were not detected. The measurements in the vicinity and in the interior of St. Michael´s Chapel (built in 1739) indicated the presence of older masonries at two areas, probably connected with the perished medieval Church of St. Michael. The measurements carried out in the interior and exterior of St. Stephen´s Church detected the remains of two perished sacristies at the church´s south-eastern side, the existence of a larger crypt in the church´s aisle, foundations of built empore, and indicated the presence of the foundations of the altar mensa.

The author reports on the application of some findings of Peter Zajac´s genre research conducted at his former workplace (The Institute of literary and artistic communication in Nitra). The fact that they are stimulating is proven by the theoretical research of the older and middle-aged generations of the Institute (Ľ. Plesník, Z. Rédey) and, in particular, by the creative development of Zajac´s concept of „superficit – deficit“ in the current theme-focused research initiatives of the youngest generation of the Nitra literary scientists (M. Čechová).

The totalitarian regime established in Slovakia after October 1938 affected not only the political and economic life, but it was fully manifested in the cultural sphere and ways of spending leisure time as well. Residents of Nitra could feel "the cold breath of totalitarianism" on their own skin in the form of restrictions and regulations issued by the governing party through local loyal representatives during the Second World War. Regulations issued during the Second World War by Hlinka' Slovak People's Party influenced stagecraft as well as other elements of leisure time activities. After the Vienna Arbitration, Slovakia lost the city of Košice with the second most stable theatrical scene. There was a theater company only in Bratislava along with several touring and amateur theaters. The government power was not interested in Czech artists, who had to leave the country. It supported mainly Slovak dramatic works, however, there were only a few authors, who were able to write a good drama. Therefore, the government power tried to compensate this deficit by holding competitions for the best drama, but this effort did not have any great response among authors. A new theater ensemble led by Fraňo Devinský was established in Nitra at this time. The ensemble gradually spread and even persons who were suspicious of the regime started to act here. However, operation of theater was financially demanding and if Devinský wanted to maintain its operation with the help of state grants, he had to adjust the program to the requirements of state representatives. Therefore, this theater also performed dramatic plays that had national character and emphasized imaginary milestones in Slovakia's past. On the contrary, the state and critics were not in favor of operettas, which were very popular and attended by large crowds, who enjoyed their simple story and well-known songs. The amateur theatrical scene in Nitra almost completely ceased to exist. Amateur actors did not want to perform the theatrical plays required by the state and after the harsh criticism of one of its satiric plays, the amateur theatrical company completely ceased operation.

Archaeological excavation in Za Ferenitkou Street in Nitra has proven occupancy from the Early Bronze Age. From partially damaged Feature 1 comes large number of ceramic fragments, clay and stone objects, and also human and animal bones. In the profile of excavation pit was identified a smaller Feature 2, which besides ceramic fragments contained a piece of slag. Stratigraphic observations indicate that this location was used to settle only during the Early Bronze Age and then was repeatedly flooded with the Nitra River until modern times.

The paper presents the first results of the analysis of archaeo-faunal remains from the monastery at Nitra-Zobor site (SW Slovakia). The majority of the 5201 analysed specimens (five samples) came from the cellar and floors of two monk’s houses from the Camaldulese Monastery of St. Joseph (1693–1782). The remainder originated from areas between the houses (one sample), layers connected to the construction and destruction of the baroque monastery (two samples), a single medieval feature (one sample) and unspecified contexts (two samples). The material is dominated by aquatic or semi-aquatic taxa (97.3%) including fish (Pisces), crayfish (Astacus astacus), otter (Lutra lutra), beaver (Castor fiber) and the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis). Only freshwater fish such pike (Esox lucius), carp (Cyprinus carpio), Danube catfish (Silurus glanis), sturgeon (Acipenser sp.), tench (Tinca tinca), dace (Leuciscus leuciscus), and bleak (Alburnus alburnus) were identified. Large-sized individuals predominate in the assemblage pointing to the anthropogenic selection of fish, and a wealth of natural resources or favourable artificial fishponds. The representation of skeletal elements from the head, trunk and fin indicate that complete fresh fish were brought to the site. Monks consumed whole or portions of fish (traces of butchery and chewing are recorded). The assemblage from house no. 9 had an exclusively fasting character, while house no. 3 yielded bones of domestic mammals - young sheep/goat, cattle, chicken, goose and turkey. The spatial differences are explained through the context of finds, when in the latter are related with the construction and destruction of the baroque monastery. The meat of domestic mammals was probably consumed in the monastery by service staff and other secular persons that often visited and used local public services.

The paper discusses the results of the latest scholarly research of the members of the Linguistics section of the Department of Slavic Philologies of the Faculty of Arts, Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, which have been achieved primarily within the framework of research grant schemes over the last 5 to 6 years. These scholarly activities and their results are currently the core of the research trends of the Nitra Slovak studies. Their characteristics are presented in the text in 8 chapters with introductory brief information about the institutional history of the department. The individual chapters focus on the areas of actual linguistic research in the department, such as mainly the fields of historical linguistics, cognitive linguistics and textual linguistics, sociolinguistics and the theory of standard language, standard norm, machine translation or Slovak language islands abroad. The respective research areas are primarily covered by presentations of recently completed grant projects, or in the relevant parts also by very brief references to research follow-up within the department. The description of the above-mentioned activities of the Nitra Slovak studies concludes with a quick outline of the perspectives of the forthcoming research prospects of the institution under review.

In 870 the Bavarian bishops drafted a file Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum (On conversion of the Bavarians et Carinthians, in short Conversio), in which they described their Christianization activities in the area of Pannonia and Carinthia. The file was created in response to the appointment of Methodius as the archbishop of Pannonia and papal legate for Slavic countries, in which their saw a threat to their jurisdiction and interference in their own interests. We have the only detailed information in this file about the troubled fate of Pribina – the ruler of Nitra. There is stated here that „Archbishop Adalram consecrated for him a church on his own property beyond the Danube in a place called Nitrava“. This figure has already given a rise to lot of considerations and studies, which in many ways remain open to these days. In this context it is necessary to ask for answers, in what ecclesiastical and jurisdictional situation was this consecration happened, in what time period, where it is possible to assume that sacral building and what can be said about their architectonical conception. The following article will try to answer these and other questions.

During the 2006 rescue archaeological exploration in the Nitra´s Mostná Street, an Early Medieval settlement object no. 14 was excavated – originally a supply ditch, later on a waste disposal ditch, hollowed out into a cultural layer from the Bronze Age and to the loess subsoil. The backfill contained various archaeological materials – a considerable quantity of partly smoked and burnt stones originally making up perhaps a part of a dwelling´s stone oven, animal bones, fragment of the aurochs horn, bronze earring with a couple mouldings, a bronze coiled wire, one Early Medieval ceramic container and ceramic shards from Bronze Age, La Téne Age, and Early Middle Ages. The paper presents results of detailed analyses of the ceramics which proved to be the most suitable in determining the time of the object´s disappearance. The study of fragmentariness indicated that the object contains approx. one tenth of pots specimens, which can be associated with the time of the object’s destruction with higher probability than the small shards. An earring used within a wide range of time is not a contribution to the object´s dating. According to the analysis of ornaments on the ceramics and their comparison with the finds from burial sites and settlements, they fall into the time frame of the turn from the Great Moravian to the post Great Moravian period, probably the first half of the 10th century. The exploration area within the settlement structure of Nitra was situated at the northern edge of an unfortified area, from which a part of medieval town was formed later on, in written sources labelled as “civitas”.

Synodal activity usually required great organizational and diplomatic skills, theological knowledge, as well as a lot of patience and effort. These assumptions were also manifested by the Nitra Bishop Anton (1492-1500) through the Diocesan Synod of Nitra in 1494. Preserved synodal decrees point to a comprehensive grasp of the topics related to liturgical discipline and clergy discipline. A wide range of topics and their detailed elaboration speaks of the problems that currently plagued the Church towards the end of the Middle Ages. The course of the internal reform of the Diocese of Nitra, which was established by Bishop Anton through the synodal decrees, was so effective that these decrees were confirmed, extended and published in 1560 in Vienna by the Bishop of Nitra Pavol Abstemius Bornemisa (1557-1579). For the life and functioning of clerics and believers, Anton's initiative and effort was an important milestone, as the summoning of the Hungarian Synods in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age was not a matter of course.

Zobor Charters of 1111 and 1113 belong to the oldest and most important sources of the Slovak history. Their significance lies not only in the knowledge of the Church history, but also of the socio-cultural circumstances shortly after the forcible termination of the Granted Dukedom of Nitra. Thanks to their existence we can identify the most significant nobility in Nitra personified in the Poznan family. The charter of 1113 maps the historical geographical conditions of the south-western Slovakia.

The period after the Second World War is characterised by retribution – the punishment of crimes committed during the occupation. For this purpose, extraordinary people’s courts were set up also in territory of Slovakia, especially important cases were to be tried by the National Court in Bratislava. The captured Slovak collaborators, fellow nazi security personnel, etc. ended up in these courts. In particular, several trials with representatives of the Slovak State have been closely monitored by the public. The retributive judiciary in the post-war Czechoslovak Republic was created not only as a result of the efforts of the victorious powers to punish crimes committed by the Nazis and their allies during the war, but also served as a means of removing the influence of former political regime officials who served in the Czech Countries and Slovakia from 1939 to 1945. In Nitra, public attention was focused, among other things, on the trial of former Mayor of Nitra František Mojto. Mojto was sentenced to 8 months and other material penalties. The case study assesses the procedural side of the trial – its arrest, indictment, conviction, detention, as well as the causal background behind the completion of the trial.

The paper presents the outcomes of geophysical exploration on the premises of the former monasteries (the medieval Benedictine Monastery of St. Hippolytus and the modern Camaldolese Monastery of St Joseph) in Nitra and their confrontation with the outcomes of the archaeological exploration. Several marked anomalies on several areas have been measured through geo-electric and GPR methods. The subsequent archaeological research found out that the measured anomalies reflect the presence of perished walled architectures, or their destructions. The anomalies of apparent specific resistance acquired in the area south of the ruins of St. Joseph´s Church corresponded with the position of unearthed walls of a Camaldolese monastery (monks´ dwellings, stone ceremonial walls, stone water conduit, etc.). The archaeological research on the Baroque terrace in the eastern part of the monastery´s premises showed that an exceptionally marked anomaly with rectangular ground plan does not represent a perished architecture, but the presence of a thin layer of stones from the destruction of the Baroque monastery. The layer of stones originated after the perishing of the Camaldolese monastery (1782), probably only during the terrain adjustments at the end of the 19th century or in the 1st half of the 20th century. Other anomalies captured in this area were caused by stone paving, foundations of polygonal summerhouse and remains of stone walls of the Baroque water conduit.
