Summary/Abstract: The author takes notice in his study of everything relating to the Middle Ages in the region of Spiš (Slovakia). He analyzes the history of archaeological research and the beginnings of historical literature and confronts them with the current modern research. As for the preservation of the cultural heritage and natural-landscape attractions, Spiš is a special and admired region, which has been well-known for the special interest in its history since the period of humanism. This spontaneous conception of its own history has a long tradition in Spiš and, without exaggeration, this region belongs to the group of relatively well explored in the wider Central European area (off course not only thanks to the Spiš inhabitants).
