PRAMEŇ AKO VÝCHODISKO KULTÚRNEJ PAMÄTI: MONUMENTA BYZANTINO-SLAVICA ET LATINA SLOVACIAE

Written sources as a source of linguistic, literary, historical and cultural research make it possible to connect scientific fields that focus on learning about the value system of the past and its comparison with the values of contemporary society. Cultural communication is also based on the value pillars, as it is a reflection of natural relationships and processes that shape society. The study deals with the need for slavistic research into the sources of the Byzantine church of the Slavic tradition, which arose in the context of the development of Slovak society. They consist of texts of sources written in Cyrillic and Latin alphabet, which are connected with Slovakia in terms of content and form. The publication of texts of sources within the editions Monumenta byzantino-slavica et latina Slovaciae and the supplement to the magazine Slavica Slovaca creates a space for their access to a wide range of interested parties. Only with the help of systematic research of written sources can a comprehensive knowledge of the rules of norms and value patterns of human behavior be achieved, which is influenced by various factors and processes of cultural development of society.
