Marius Ivaškevičius’ drama The Mistr (2010) is a tragi-comical grotesque pasted together from historical and cultural symbols and interpreting the person of Adomas Mickevičius (1798–1855) and his relationships with Andrzej Towiański (1799–1878), the prototype for the Mistr in the play. In religious and cultural history Andrzej Towiański, a self-proclaimed prophet, „a mistr called by God“, represents the archetypical figure of the false prophet. M. Ivaškevičius’ play constructs the demonic figure of the Mistr as the sign of the demonic nature of political oppression. The entanglement of political aggression and the demonic is typically found in Lithuanian literature. The work offers an original variation on the entanglement by reflecting the Soviet propaganda, its fantastic ability to penetrate into the deepest levels of a victim’s mentality.

This article outlines the literary and theological view on the demonology as presented in the medieval Dutch romance “Jonathas ende Rosafiere”. After the discovery made by Remco Sleiderink of unknown fragments from 14th century this text has received some new attention mainly regarding the content that has been rearranged. Among many questions that have to be answered was that of the devilish element. The text reaches its climax in a rape scene on one of the main characters Rosafiere by her own father, who sneaks into the convent, accompanied by and with the help of the devil, both in the form of a nun. In this article the motif of the anthropomorphic devil is presented from theological point of view as a locus theologicus and analysed and explained by means of literary theology. At the same time the article is challenging the contemporary research in the humanities and its link to the recent developments.

Średniowieczne utwory niderlandzkie stanowią interesujący przedmiot badań interdyscyplinarnych. Ich wyraźnie moralizatorski charakter nie wyklucza istnienia głębszych wymiarów teologicznych, których odkrycie i twórcze zinterpretowanie może pobudzić współczesnego czytelnika do bardziej odważnego poszukiwania śladów Transcendencji w nierzadko tragicznym ludzkim losie.
