This study focuses on the manuscript Litevský slovník [Dictionary of the Lithuanian Language] (shelf mark IV A 11), kept at the Department of Manuscripts and Early Printed Books of the National Museum Library. This handwritten lexicographic relic is dated to the first half of the 19th century and contains 1,701 entries. The nature of the Lithuanian Dictionary determines its significance. It is a comprehensive and complete philological study (organised alphabetically from A to Ž) that tries to answer crucial questions of Balto-Slavic relations. This article places the Lithuanian Dictionary within the context of Czech Baltic studies, particularly focusing on the matter of its authorship. Concerning this question, the article builds on previous research, in which F. L. Čelakovský was suggested as the likely author of the Dictionary. It updates previous research and adds new findings revealed by a professional handwriting analysis. A separate chapter focuses on the nature of the work, demonstrating the character of the Lithuanian Dictionary on several examples.

Icelandic museums and their position in public culture Icelandic museums are rooted in the national romantic movement of the 19th century and - as in the other Nordic countries - in the romantic search for a cultural identity. The National Museum was founded in 1863 in a period when the struggle for independence from Denmark culminated. Icelandic nationalism was again challenged in World War 2 which was also coincided with a period of an accelerated modernization.

The Temple

A reinvestigation of the so-called Serapis temple of Berenike produced proof for the existence of undisturbed archaeology around and even inside the building. Until recently it was assumed that this temple was completely excavated during the several, poorly documented, excavations of the 19th century. A small test trench against the back wall of the temple uncovered the remains of a secondary stone wall and parts of a small statue. The excavation of the northwest room resulted in the find of architectural details never published by the early excavators.

Purpose. The article provides a detailed description of three sabers with wooden hilts stored in the funds of the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan (PMO 3025-1.2, PMO 6265, PMO UK 8227), Astana. Results. Based on the structural analysis of the items and their design, we identified that Saber 1 from the NMRC (PMO 3025-1.2) is one of the varieties of Persian Shamshirs. The blade with the shank, garda and a wooden sheath with hoop could have been made by Iranian or, less likely, Central Asian armorers in the 18th – middle of the 19th centuries. The wooden hilt with rivets, leather-covered scabbard and a metal tip were added while the saber was in the museum collection. A distinctive feature of Saber 2 of NMRC (PMO 6265), which originates from the territory of Southern Kazakhstan, is a relatively small bending of an acute-angled blade, an authentic wooden hilt and a leather case covering the hilt. The last two elements are not typical for products of Persian craftsmen but are quite often found on the weapons of the Uzbek and Kazakh soldiers of the New Age. According to the construction and design we conclude that Saber 2 could have been made by Central Asian, or, less likely, Iranian armorers in the 18th – mid 19th centuries (in the latter case, the hilt and the cover might have been made by Uzbek or Kazakh masters). Saber 3 (ПМО УК 8227) combines the classic “shamshirs” blade and a pommel with a wooden hilt and a relatively rare version of the guard. Based on the design features, the saber is dated to the end of the 18th – mid 19th centuries. The fastening system of its “cheeks” indicates that the wooden hilt might have been made and added in the 19th century. Conclusion. The weapons of the series under review vividly illustrate the data from written sources on the prevalence of sabers with long blades imported from Iran and Central Asia among Kazakh soldiers during the 18th – 19th centuries.

The article is devoted to the analysis of two Old Believers eschatological writings created in the Urals in 1820–1840s, which are now kept in the largest collections of the Ural Cyrillic old printed books and manuscripts: the Laboratory of Archaeographical Studies (LAS) of the Ural Federal University and the library of the Ekaterinburg Orthodox seminary. One of these essays is “Tolkivanie o Antichriste” (“The exegesis on the Antichrist”), which substantiates the idea that Napoleon I is the Antichrist. It has already been introduced into scientific circulation in the 19th century, but its copies from the LAS fund allowed revealing a new data about the history of its existence. The article clarifies the date of the essay, determines its impact on later Old Believers literature. The second essay, “Tsvetnik” (“Flower Garden”), continues the theme of the first one, relying on it. “Tsvetnik” is a rather complicated and multifaceted work, containing a lot of reasoning. It covers a lot of questions, problems and assessments of domestic and foreign events contemporary to the author. The main task of the essay was to substantiate the fact that Louis Napoleon, the future French emperor Napoleon III, was the new hypostasis of Napoleon I, the antichrist. The article analyses in detail main ideas of the Tsvetnik’s author, the source base of his work, which included not only traditional Christian literature, but also contemporary to the author secular publications.

Abstract The cathedral in Odense, Denmark, has for nine centuries held the relics of the Danish King St Canute the Holy and his brother Benedikt. They were both murdered in the predecessor church at the site in AD 1086, and Canute was sanctified in already in AD 1100. The history of the relics has been that of turmoil at times, varying from initial worship of the Catholic believers, to being walled up and hidden away after the protestant reformation in AD 1536, and since the 19th Century on display as important heritage objects of national importance. In the present work we have characterised some of the textiles and analysed the air inside the glass showcases exhibiting the 11th Century wooden coffins holding the remains of St King Canute the Holy and his brother together with some precious textiles. Contrary to previous belief, we now prove that all the textiles analysed have the same age, which is consistent with the time of the enshrinement of the King and his brother in AD 1100. It is also shown that some of the textiles were treated with paraffin wax, most likely during attempts at conservation at the National Museum in the nineteenth century. The results of the air chemistry analyses show the problematic side of simultaneously storing of slowly decaying wood, fine textiles, and human bones in rather airtight environments. The wood continuously releases organic acids, the soaring concentrations of which are potentially harmful to the 11th Century textiles and probably also to the bones.

This article uses the idioms of embroidery appreciation as depicted in narrative figure paintings in the collection of the National Museum of Korea, to examine the effects of Gu-style embroidery, which reached Korea during the late Joseon period, on the development of late Joseon embroidered pictures enjoyed by the royal court. The late Joseon period saw unprecedented developments in social, economic and cultural norms. Among these were friendly relations with Qing, allowing Koreans access to new imported culture including various regional Chinese embroidery styles. Gu embroidery became an early source of influence on change and production of embroidery in the royal court. By the 18th century, embroidered everyday items had spread into the private homes of aristocrats and commoners as part of a luxury trend. Expert producers created masterpieces specifically for viewing, which were collected for this purpose. Decorative embroidered screens were created featuring Taoist hermit and narrative figure paintings, driving artistic growth based on motifs of elegance and appreciation of luxury. Characteristics relating to Gu found in these works include: first, the filling of parts corresponding to Gu-style mixed embroidery and painting with long and short stitches and irregular long and short stitches; second, the development of a type of decorative stitching capable of the same elaborate expression as Gu; third, the replacement of untwisted thread, in which Gu style was used to achieve gradation, with twisted thread; fourth, the tracing of the outlines of all pictorial elements with outline stitch, unlike in Gu, emphasizing neatness; fifth, the use of contrasting complementary colors rather than intermediate colors; and sixth, the production of Taoist hermit paintings such as Banquet at Jade Pond and narrative figure paintings as screens. In sum, it can be said that this series of phenomena developed into a formal idiom in Joseon embroidery, which had become more highly renowned than that of China by the 19th century.

The Brain

František Palacký (1798–1876), a historian and politician, was one of the most eminent personalities of the Czech society of the 19th century. He died on 26 May 1876 in Prague and on 30 May 1876, in the evening before the burial, the Palacký’s head was dissected and his brain was extracted and preserved as a liquid preparation. Then, it was deposited in the Museum of the Kingdom of Bohemia (present National Museum) in Prague; currently it is stored in a jar concealed in a wall niche of a column (next to a large statue of Palacký) in the Pantheon hall of the historical building of the National Museum on the Wenceslaus square in Prague. The investigation of the Museum archive brought some documents which elucidate certain parts of the history of the Palacký’s brain preparation, although its whereabouts during other periods still remain hidden. For several years after its extraction, the Palacký’s brain was deposited in the Museum library, and between the years 1878–1899 (most probably in 1892 at the latest), it was handed over to the Department of Zoology of the Museum, where it remained until 1931. Next fate of the brain is uncertain until 1958, when it was installed in the wall niche in the Pantheon hall, where it remains till now (with an interruption in the last five years), but again under the responsibility of the Department of Zoology and Department of Anthropology, respectively.

Antikvarer og oldforskning på Grundtvigs tid[Antiquarians and the Study of Antiquity during Grundtvig’s Lifetime]By Christian AdamsenWhile the 17th and 18th centuries were dominated by the so-called antiquarianism, the 19th century saw the dawn of scientific archaeology. The Danish Royal Commission of Antiquities in Copenhagen, established 1807 (much later to become the National Museum), sent out a questionnaire to every clerk in the country in order to collect information about various antiquities. The answers, recently published in full text, reflect not only the local perception of Antiquity all over the country, but also the amount of knowledge available to the commission members in Copenhagen. Central persons in the Danish development are Frederik Munter, Rasmus Nyerup, Christian Jurgensen Thomsen and J. J. A. Worsaae. The relations between Grundtvig and the professional antiquarians were however distant but heartful, still Grundtvig’s lifelong efforts probably constitute the most important contribution to the 20th century status of archaeology as the most widespread Danish hobby.
