This paper outlines the history of the annual school reports publishing on the territory of Slovakia. It also provides the basic bibliographic sources in which the annual school reports are registered. The annual school reports began to be systematically published in the second half of the 19th century. Also the Jewish schools, which history is much older (e. g. a school existed at the synagogue in Bratislava as early as 1416) published them. During the extensive research in libraries in Slovakia as well as 21 titles of the annual school reports of some Jewish schools published in Slovakia until 1918 were found. The annual school reports of the primary schools, business schools, religious schools, boys‘ schools, girls‘ schools and co-educational schools are among them. The content of the annual school reports of Jewish schools is presented in the example of the annual school report of the boys‘ public school associated with the business school in Bratislava and public school in Liptovský Mikuláš. As artefacts of book culture they are an especially a rich source of information about a particular school, they document publishing activities of a school or its founders and complete the knowledge about production of individual printers and printing houses. Through the ownership stamps and records they provide information about previous owners and assist in the reconstruction of the library stocks. At the moment known annual school reports of Jewish schools are certainly only a part of a larger, not yet fully discovered corpus (e. g. we can assume the existence of the annual school reports of the higher schools - yeshivas in Hebrew). Their systematic research, documentation and expert processing should become part of research and protection of Jewish cultural heritage in Slovakia.

It was not only in the Middle Ages that the Franciscan Order influenced vast regions with its activities. The subject of interest of this study will be the analysis of the activity of the Observant Franciscans who had their convent built in Solivar. It was a relatively large village, but it stood in the neighbourhood of Prešov, one of the most important Hungarian cities. I will deal with the history of this convent, which is mainly recorded in the wills of the Prešov townspeople, who also bequeathed their property to the Franciscans in large numbers. Another interesting fact is that the town of Prešov had its own Mendicant monastery, which belonged to the Carmelite Order. In the historical analysis, we will mainly use the edition of sources from the municipal archives of the city of Prešov, published by Béla Iványi. In addition to these sources, we will also use other sources that have been published in other editions. The Franciscan Convent in Solivar also had its own library in the past. Several incunabula and post-incunabula have survived to the present day. In total, there are only three prints from the 15th and early 16th centuries. Their detailed research in terms of post-essential data, book binding and decoration can reveal interesting details about the monastery in Solivar and the importance of books in that period. The journeys of the preserved books from their creator to their owner present the functioning of the book trade in Hungary and highlight the possibilities of replenishing the library. The hitherto unanswered question about the fate of the property of the Franciscans of Solivar can be answered by the torso of their monastery library now stored in the Slovak National Library in Martin.

The book printing in Slovakia did not start to noticeably flourish until the 16th century. The historical lyceum library in Kežmarok maintains Slovakia-related works from that period of time that were produced mainly by two printing workshops in Bardejov. They are mostly theological prints the contents of which deal with worshipping of church paintings, which many priests wanted to have removed. The Slovak nature of the sources is, besides the place of publication (the territory of present-day Slovakia), assessed according to other three criteria, i.e. author, content and language. However, the four points of view mentioned above often overlap. The largest part of Slovakia-related prints in Kežmarok lyceum library is made up of documents linked to Slovakia in terms of content. They are various monographs, occasional poems, speeches, sermons et cetera. On the contrary, the smallest group is formed by documents related to Slovak language, as German language books dominate over those written in Latin or Hungarian, which is only natural because the library was located in then German environment. Slovak books appeared there sporadically, most of the time for the purpose of ministry among the Slovak population. The copies preserved to date are also interesting with regard to their owners: the books were donated to the library by professors and students as well as by many notable aristocratic families.

The art of literature - both in the written and in oral form is a basic mean for transmitting of information. In the both meanings, referring to either to books or the book culture and also in the abstract meaning referring to education and knowledge, it should primarily mobilize effort to improve life condition of people and to be involved in the process, contributing to stabilization of ethical and religious norms in the social consciousness. Its meaning was increased in relation of the mean for stimulation of language and cultural consciousness of the ethnic and national groups. Research of the Tablic´s understanding of the art of literature in its complexity includes searching the material and his statements in the both poetic texts and fictions or in the commentaries and additional supplements of his editions or translations. He seems to make clear differentiation of particular types of literary expression. He differentiated informative texts from the texts with aesthetic function.

The paper is devoted to analysing the reception in imperial Russia of the “Sermon in the Miasopustnaia Week on the End of the World”, an essay by the fifteenth-century Christian writer Pseudo- Hippolytus. This sermon reflects one of the basic points of Christian tradition – eschatology. This essay, along with other eschatological compositions, has enriched and complemented Christian representations of the Last Judgement. Pseudo- Hippolytus’ sermon was extremely popular among literate Russian Old Believer circles, and indeed they created an illustrated variant. This paper studies the miniatures of this manuscript kept in the Laboratory for Archaeographical Studies at the Ural Federal University. After examining the early Christian compositions that were at the basis of Pseudo- Hippolytus’ work, the author subjects the iconography of the manuscript to comparative analysis. Here she considers other Russian depictions of the Last Judgement in icon painting frescos, and other manuscripts. Finally, the author examines iconographic elements imported into Russian book culture from the West.
