The essential aim of this paper is to conduct a brief exploration of Dobroslav Orel’s system of musicological work, in connection with researching medieval musical culture from the territory of Slovakia. Slovak musicology, its foundations, goals, and methods of treatment of sources, are closely connected with this outstanding figure in Czechoslovak musical culture. The consideration of Orel’s activity in Slovakia includes an analysis of research, treatment and publication of our oldest music sources.
