Project leader VEGA 1/0043/25 Laus urbis - forms of praise of the city in Neo-Latin literature of Slovak provenance

project implementation period: 01/2025 - 12/2028

Annotation:

The origins of the genre of laus urbis (laudatio urbis, encomium urbis), i.e. "praise of the city", go back to antiquity, and its literary form was already taking shape in ancient rhetorical treatises. The genre also gained popularity among the humanists of the early modern period, often as a way of gaining the support of the urban classes, an expression of gratitude, or a poem to order. As a hybrid genre, it can take the form of literary descriptions or be part of other literary formations. In the Neo-Latin literature of Slovak provenance, the production bearing the features of laus urbis also occurs, although to a lesser extent due to the poorly developed urban class. Since this genre as such has not yet been the subject of research in Slovak literary scholarship, the project aims to map the Neo-Latin literary production of this kind by authors of Slovak origin as well as by authors with Slovak connections, to analyse it and to make it available to the professional and wider public through translations.

Deputy responsible researcher: VEGA 1/0255/22 Medicus poeta. New Latin literature of medical authors associated with Slovakia.

Annotation:

Medical authors of the early modern period, by virtue of their education, were also active in literature and this literary work of theirs is little known not only to the lay public but also to the professional public itself. The project dealt with the work of authors originating from Slovakia or active in Slovakia in the 16th-17th centuries, Juraj Werner, Jan Jessenius, Juraj Henisch, Gregor Macer Szepsia and also with the Neo-Latin balneography of Slovak spas. As a result, the Latin texts, commentaries on them, and theoretical works on these works will be made available. A translation of these texts will also be an accompanying result.

Project leader KEGA 009UPJŠ-4/2020 Cursus Latinus - University textbooks for students of Latin

project implementation period: 01/2020 - 12/2022

Annotation:

The objective of this project is to prepare electronic versions of a university textbook and practice materials with the aim of innovating and improving the effectiveness of teaching Latin to students taking the Latin language study course at the Faculty of Arts. The output from this project is expected to be a set of innovated teaching materials which can replace the older, in many cases Czech-based textbooks and practice materials used to date. With regard to their content, the new teaching texts will be supplemented with the latest insights from philological research, and their graphical form is intended to mediate the content in a more intelligible and attractive manner. At the same time the new teaching materials aim to compensate for the negative influence of the lack of linguistic preparation due to the insufficient provision of lessons in secondary schools by enabling students to engage in independent home study with effective, direct feedback in the form of exercises supplied with a key, and by means of related online tests.
