Svätý Bernard z Clairvaux a jeho spis „Rozpravy o poznaní ľudskej prirodzenosti“
St. Bernard from Clairvaux and His Work “Discourse on Knowledge of Human Nature”

Summary/Abstract: He was a thinker, reformer of monastic life, renowned preacher, spiritual writer, a passionate defender of church orthodoxy and unity and an advisor of bishops and popes. He was interested in social events and wrote numer-ous theological and monastic works. The Tracts are written in the spirit of the mystical monastic piety. They were drawn up in simple medieval Latin. The language used by Bernard reflects his level of education and erudition. In the Tracts he used a number of theological terms and expressions. He drafted the work in a simplified Latin grammatical structure of sentences without using the classic sequence of times. His Latin is not a dead language. Although it does not resemble the speech of Cicero, it is still extremely lively and sharp, even jocular, and always individually melodic.
