Lectureship of Slovene Language at the Faculty of Arts of the Comenius University in Bratislava in the Context of Slovak-Slovene Cultural Relationships

Summary/Abstract: The first part of the paper deals with the history of Slovene studies at the Faculty of Arts of the Comenius University in Bratislava as well as the personalities who contributed to its development. The second part focuses mainly on the personality of the significant Slovenist Melichar Václav and his activities as a lecturer and translator. The author mentions his participation in the international youth Catholic organizations Pax Romana and Slavia Catholica, thanks to which he could spent one semester of the 1938 –1939 academic year at the University of Ljubljana, where he became familiar with Slovenian language and culture. Change of the political system in Czechoslovakia in 1948 had a negative impact on his social status and promising career as an editor. In 1974 he was given the opportunity to teach Slovenian language at the Faculty of Arts of the Comenius University in Bratislava, where he worked as a lecturer until 1987. His diligent work meant a significant contribution to the development of the Slovak-Slovenian cultural relations and his translations positively influenced the Slovenian literature reception in Slovakia.
