Analýza historiografie dejín robotníctva v slovenskom štáte (1939 – 1945) v období do roku 1989 (Analysis of the Historiography of the „History of Workers“ in the Slovak State (1939 – 1945) until 1989)
pp. 259–292

The paper analyses the historiography of the „history of workers“ in the period of Slovak state (1939 – 1945) until the year 1989. In addition to the general analysis, the aim is to answer the question how far (if at all) may the „history of workers“ be identified with the labor history in historiography before 1989? Secondarily, the study provides a brief description of the thematic publications examined to find out what specific area and themes were elaborated in historiography before 1989 and how particular research trends were developed.
Keywords: Historiography; Slovak state; „History of workers“; Labor history; Second World War;

Kterého ukřižovaného vůdce použil jako příklad Seneca. De ira I, 2, 2? (Which Crucified Leader Used Seneca. De Ira I, 2, 2 as an Example?)
pp. 293–329

Léon Herrmann’s attempt at identifying the six anonymous leaders presented by Seneca in his De ira as exempla of the victims of anger has met little interest so far. As in the sixth one he wanted us to see Jesus of Nazareth, it is no surprise that his attempt remained neglected as a whole, since his method of discovering new non-Christian testimonies to Jesus and early Christianity has rightly fallen into disrepute as being almost non-scientific. Seneca’s leaders, however, do not draw too much attention even of his modern commentators or translators who only now and then try to identify them and never more than two of them. Herrmann’s attempt and the few reactions to it thus at least increases the number of candidates and some clues are even at hand for better verification of all the identifications as yet suggested of these sixth leaders. Following these clues, there are some conditions, yet certainly very unlikely to have actually occurred, under which Jesus could be considered to have been in Seneca’s mind. Further interesting speculations on the date of the De ira and the conditions of the early Christian community in Rome can be added, yet bearing in mind the very frail basis upon which they rest.
Keywords: Non-Christian Testimonies; Jesus; Circumstances of Jesus’ Crucifixion; Beginnings of Christianity in Rome; Seneca's Knowledge of Christianity; the Date of the De Ira;

Hlohovec vo víre vojenských udalostí a ich dôsledky v rokoch 1401 – 1650. Vojenské udalosti, ktoré postihli Hlohovec začiatkom 15. storočia (1401 – 1403) (Hlohovec in the Whirl of the Military Incidents and their Consequences between Years 1401 – 1650)

Montánne vodohospodárske systémy v okolí Ľubietovej v 16. až 20. storočí (1950–1951) (Montanistic (Mining) Water Management Systems in the Area of Ľubietová Surroundings from 16th to 20th Century)
pp. 368–402

Water has been the main and affordable source of energy for centuries. In order to be able to use water power in the final technical facilities, water works had to be built for this purpose to ensure that the water was collected in the country. The aim of the present study is the reconstruction of the use of water and the reconstruction of water management systems in the historic mining landscape on the example of water management system of Ľubietová surroundings, whose effectiveness was also determined by the existence of so-called Little Ice Age. So far unknown facts, phenomena and contexts that contributed to formation of the water management system in the mountainous country have also been gained through field research.
Keywords: Montanistic (Mining) science; Water Management System; Surroundings of Ľubietová;

Výslechy svědků ve věci pohraničních sporů na moravsko-slovenském pomezí v 16. – 18. století a jejich interpretace: příklad vršateckého, lednického, trenčínského a brumovského panství (Interpretation of the Testimonies Concerning Border Disputes in the Moravian – Slovak Borderlands in the 16th – 18th Centuries: An Example of the Vršatec, Lednice, Trenčín and Brumov Manors)
pp. 403–425

The aim of the study is to newly reflect on the issue which has not been fully analysed within Moravian and Slovak historiography. Testimonies of the witnesses involved in border disputes over exact delineation of the borderline between Moravia and the Kingdom of Hungary in 16th – 18th centuries represent highly valuable material which has a potential of versatile interpretation. We focus on testimonies from a particular area of Vršatec, Lednica, Trenčín and Brumov manors using historical – anthropological approach. Despite the fact that we regard the witnesses as capable of providing credible information, the sources are critically analysed and compared to older publications on the topic. The study reflects on the problematic of specific border signs such as stone circles and their reflection in the testimonies, furthermore the most important aspects of the process of near-border agricultural colonization are described and examined.
Keywords: Interrogation; Witnesses; Border Disputes; Moravia; Kingdom of Hungary; 16th – 18th centuries;

Collection of Road Toll in Southwestern Slovakia in the Middle Ages on the Basis of Written Sources (Collection of Road Toll in Southwestern Slovakia in the Middle Ages on the Basis of Written Sources)
pp. 426–455

Road toll research is one of the marginal topics of Slovak historiography. Toll fees included both a "dry" toll paid for roads and a bridge ("water") toll paid next to fords, on the bridges, ferries and in the ports. Fees were originally part of the Royal Regal Right. This paper deals with the issue of road tolls collected in the southwestern Slovakia, were several important roads were situated in the Middle Ages. Based on the preserved written sources, the author managed to document a dense network of toll stations in the examined area. Most of them are documented in written sources only in the 14th and 15th century. One can assume that some of them existed in the older period. The amount of the fee is mentioned only in few cases. Several major toll stations (e.g. in Starý Tekov) were claimed by several owners and the documents testify long-standing disputes.
