APVV-22-0088 What do Slovak archives hold? The Spiritual Legacy of the East in the West
The project is devoted to the research of a currently neglected part of the heritage of Western spiritual culture, which is also represented by the Byzantine-Slavic tradition as an inseparable component of its identity. Already in the period of the Great Moravian mission, Byzantine-Slavic culture participated in the creation of European civilization and its cultural values. The Cyrillic written legacy in Slovakia is linked not only to the Great Moravian tradition, but also to the spiritual heritage of the Wallachian colonisation. The picture of this cultural integrity will be accentuated by the first systematisation and description of Cyrillic written monuments stored in memory institutions in Slovakia as the main result of the project. These writings prove the connection of the spiritual and cultural legacy of the Slovaks with the Byzantine-Slavic context and the inculturation of this legacy in Western culture.
This project employs experienced experts who are dedicated to the research of literary sources in the earlier period of the development of the Slavic and Slovak written tradition. The project is being carried out at the Faculty of Education of the Comenius University in Bratislava (Prof. Peter Žeňuch and Assoc. Prof. Erika Brtáňová) in cooperation with the Faculty of Arts of the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra (Dr. Svetlana Žeňuchová Šašerina).
