This paper focuses on his scathing review of the first version of Comenius’ Great Didactic, which he inserted in a letter sent to Comenius during November 1639. A Czech translation of Hübner’s critique and the apology he sent in his next letter is included.

The article is a discussion on two volumes of the journal MiroFor. Its authors, experts in Białoszewski’s work, present new perspectives of research on the oeuvre of the creator of Memoir from the Warsaw Uprising. After the poet’s death, many unknown works – unpublished during his lifetime – were published, which shed new light on his oeuvre. In the light of the new sensitivity and new methodologies, Białoszewski’s work turns out to still be important, up-to-date and attractive to readers. Themes such as war trauma, homosexuality, autobiographism gain a new illumination. The volumes also present unknown transcripts of recordings and archival materials. This is valuable material for researchers and admirers of Białoszewski. Both volumes of MiroFor are presented as a valuable and inspiring invitation to a joint conversation about Miron Białoszewski’s work.

Factitious disorder represents a category of mental disorders still insufficiently known and diagnosed, which requires more studies and research for a better understanding of all its social and psychological characteristics and to discover a treatment that is as suitable for patients. Also, the positive diagnosis is often very difficult to be establish and not only psychiatrists are involved, but also other medical specialties or health professionals, with an impact on the general population by all the consequences and the costs. This is because patients can present only with physical symptoms or only with mental symptoms or with both. The association with other medical conditions or other mental disorders, which must be diagnosed and treated as early as possible, must also be taken into account. The prognosis is generally reserved, and the therapeutic options are still discussed among the specialists. That's why in this paper we present an overview, regarding the information provided by the specialized literature on this subject.
