Summary/Abstract: This contribution discusses in depth the publishing efforts of Karel Reban, a canon from České Budějovice, in a particular contemporary journal – the Na Hlubinu review. The Na Hlubinu was a Czech Dominican magazine aimed at cultivating and enriching spiritual life. It was published monthly in the years 1926 – 1948, its production only taking breaks during the summer holidays. Over the course of the periodical’s publishing history, Karel Reban penned thirty - three articles for it. His contributions focused mostly on liturgic musings and spiritual life. Furthermore, he touched on topics such as the rela-tionship of people towards the church, as well as the ethical values of society. His writings fully correspon-ded with the particular scholarly focus that the journal pursued. Karel Reban was born in České Budějo-vice and for many years worked at the local seminary, having eventually risen to the position of its rec-tor, a position he held for a time. He was also an active contributor to contemporary scholarly periodicals and this article provides a closer examination of the topics Reban discussed in the journal Na Hlubinu.
