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.
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.
