Bible v životě a život v Bibli : vojvodovská tradice na příkladu života a Bible Barbory Čížkové
The Bible in Life and Life in the Bible: The Vojvodovo Tradition as Seen Through the Life and Bible of Barbora Čížková

Summary/Abstract: In this article, one tradition and one document, or more precisely, one tradition incarnated in one document is presented. This document is one particular copy of the Bible belonging to Barbora Čížková, who was born in Vojvodovo, a Czech village in north-western Bulgaria. Barbora Čížková’s Bible may serve as a key to understanding her personal life, which was – thanks to her strong attachment to the Bible and its crucial position in her life – fully emblematic and typical for the whole particular tradition, which witnessed its heyday and most pronounced expression in Vojvodovo. Barbora Čížková used her Bible to keep records and take notes reflecting on events in her life (which was however integrally connected with the life of the whole Vojvodovo community). Thus, this copy of the Bible is an important and valuable document on several levels for analyzing Vojvodovo’s religious tradition.
