Bruno Schulz’s essay on Ephraim Moses Lilien, a Jewish artist born in Drogobych, was published serially in 1937-1938 in "Przegląd Podkarpacia". Not only is it the only Schulz’stext on plastic arts, but also his only explicit statement on Jewish matters. In Schulz’sopinion, Lilien stimulated his interest in plastic arts and played an important role as a mythmaker of contemporary Zionism.

The experts and admirers of Schulz’s plastic art have long known about his design ofa bookplate of Ella and Jakub Schulz, the children of Izydor, Schulz’s elder brother,made probably in 1930. A sheet of paper with a pencil sketch was glued to carton mostlikely by Schulz himself and then framed. In such a form, hiding the reverse, it was preserved for several decades. In 2015 it became an object of auction. During examination,the sheet was separated from its original background and it turned out that onthe reverse there are some unknown sketches by Schulz. One of them is a portrait ofthe writer’s mother, the other shows a homage of an elderly man to a young woman.Many known drawings by the writer have been made on sheets where both the reverseand the obverse have been used, which implies that, first, all the undersides of Schulz’sworks must be carefully examined since they may hide his works that are still unknown,and second, that Schulz’s pencil sketches must be treated as material wholes. Fragments of his works cannot be reproduced separately from their visual milieu. It is also undesirable to frame and publish his drawings in isolation, according to conventional genre categories, such as “portrait,” “self-portrait” or “nude.” Their publication should makea documentary foundation which will allow us to reveal the principles of a mysterious coexistence of disparate motifs, optical perspectives, and emotional tonalities.

The aim of the article is to bridge the gap in the study of Nicolaus de Radom’s output by presenting a comparative analysis of his works as juxtaposed with other European artists. The prevailing opinion of musicologists, such as Maria Szczepańska and Mirosław Perz, is that Nicolaus de Radom’s music is closely related to the works of northern Italian composers. However, such a claim has not yet been supported with the detailed comparative analysis. The article presents the analysis of the manuscripts Kras 52 and Wn 378, signed by Nicolaus de Radom, confronted with selected masses by Johannes Ciconia and Antonio Zacara da Teramo. A detailed analysis of a two-sectioned cyclic mass helps to distinguish certain similarities and differences in the unification of the Mass pairs, as they are exemplified in the music of the composers. The works of all of the three artists manifest secular songs’ influence on the shaping of the Mass as a genre, although each composer adapts it in a slightly different way. Moreover, it is stated that a thorough analysis of the 15th-century Masses is necessary to determine whether there are any links between Nicolaus de Radom’s, Antonio Zacara da Teramo’s and Johannes Ciconia’s works, and whether there are any similarities in their compositional technique. Presented analysis of de Radom’s, Zacara da Teramo’s and Ciconia’s Masses refutes the claim that Nicolaus de Radom’s output bears closest relation to those of Zacara da Teramo’s. The results of the study reveal that there are no straightforward examples which would support such a theory.

The article contains two parts. In the first, the Italian scholar and traveller Domenico Sestini (1750–1832) is introduced. Special emphasis is placed on his three journeys to the Rumelian lands, his contribution to the knowledge of the local flora, manners and customs of the population and especially its livelihood. Attention is given to the languages Sestini knew and to the ways in which they helped him in his tours of towns, villages and their surroundings. The second contains the complete translation from Italian into Bulgarian of the travelogue Viaggio da Costantinopoli a Bukoresti fatto l'anno 1779, including a commentary.

The collections of the Regional Museum in Olomouc include under the title Olmützer Losbuch a German-language illuminated manuscript. It is an example of a type of lot or oracle book widespread in the Middle Ages, namely the text Losbuch mit 32 Fragen. The study examines the organisation of the Olomouc copy as well as the interconnection of its textual and pictorial elements, and it compares the manuscript with related codices from Heidelberg and Edinburgh. In particular, it analyses and compares the individual patterns, i.e. the elements that help the reader understand the structure and contents of the manuscripts.

The article aims to reconstruct and contextualize a parchment fragment stored at the Franciscan Nunnery of the Saint Clare Order at Stary Sącz. The fragment has unusual features: the Latin text, music staff, and music notation are enormously large, contrasting features of other Stary Sącz liturgical books. The analysis reveals that the fragment is in line with other Kraków diocese manuscripts and was not originally part of the nunnery’s collection. The reconstruction of the folio indicates that the original manuscript, whether gradual or sequentiary, was unusually large, even larger than the famous Krakow Jan Olbracht Gradual. Moreover, the fragment bears witness to the production of at least one oversized liturgical book – an elephant-sized manuscript –, which took place on the territory of the Krakow diocese, probably in the late 15th century.

Although the pandemic context had imposed a number of specific restrictions, Saint Venerable Parascheva was celebrated on the 14th of October 2021 with great piety and reverence in Jassy by faithful arrived from all over the country and from abroad. Near the reliquary keeping the holy relics of the Protectress of Moldova was also set, for the pilgrim's reverence, the reliquary keeping the holy relics of Saint George the Pilgrim, whose canonization was proclaimed in 2018. The Holy Liturgy devoted to the Dedication Day of the Metropolitan Cathedral in the capital of Moldova was celebrated by His Eminence Father Teofan, Archbishop of Jassy and Metropolitan of Moldova and Bucovina, co-served by other seventeen hierarchs, assisted by a large group of priests and deacons. The faithful participated in the holy service standing in especially demarcated zones, so as not to dub together large groups of persons. At the end of the Liturgy, His Eminence Father Teofan, within the context of the year 2021 being declared by the Romanian Patriarchate as Homage year of the pastoral activity of the Romanians from outside Romania, awarded prizes to four families who had undergone the experience of living in the diaspora.

Alexandre-Louis Andrault, Comte de Langeron is an extremely interesting character, with a remarkable military and administrative career, being involved, as a senior officer, in most of the Russian campaigns of the late 18th century and the beginning of the next century. His presence in the Romanian Principalities, both during the Russo-Turkish wars and during the period of occupation and involvement in the peace negotiations, gives him the quality of witness, directly or indirectly, of events and places essential for our history, and not only that. From Count Langeron there remained a fairly consistent set of manuscript Memoirs, drawn up at different stages, which are preserved in the Archives of the French Foreign Ministry. Initially, the manuscript was given by the author, by will, to the library that operated next to L'hôtel des Invalides in Paris, for safekeeping, for 50 years after his death, only after which it was to be made public, which it happened in 1881. After this moment, given the extraordinary wealth of information contained in his accounts, his Memoirs were published under various titles and translations, but never in full. In the present intervention, we also point out the main editions of the Memoirs known to Romanian historiography and of course some contributions that analysed or used this source more consistently. Last but not least, we focused our attention equally on the "reception" of the relations offered by Langeron in his homeland - France, respectively in the country of adoption - Russia.

The paper presents an innovative multidisciplinary ST(R)EAM project related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is being implemented in the academic year 2023-2024 at the Professional High School of Electrical Engineering and Electronics - Plovdiv (PGEE - Plovdiv) with 156 students from 9th, 10th and 11th grade. The project was selected as the National Winner in the DIGITAL EXCELLENCE category of the 7th National STEM Science Competition in Bulgaria 2024. The goals of the project include students acquiring and improving their ST(R)EAM skills and key competencies for the 21st century, using their knowledge and skills in English, Information Technology and Programming, in relation to the highly popular topic of AI. The design and implementation of the project was prompted by students sharing that they are increasingly using AI on a regular basis to complete their tasks in and out of school. But for technology to be a good assistant, the person using it needs to have a good understanding of both the advantages and risks it poses. In order to overcome the established (now considered monotonous and boring) model in which the teacher one-sidedly presents information on a given problem, the team of teachers decided to use approaches in which the students are the active party and reach conclusions that would be useful to them when using AI in their daily lives. Therefore, the project included activities such as discussions, involvement of students in national competitions and forums related to AI, and creation of argumentative texts (essays) on a topic related to AI. The activity of the students and the essays they produced at the end of the project give the authors reason to believe that they have largely met the project objectives.

The short film "Urban Oasis" is the final result of the design and conservation of a piece of refined land, within the schoolyard of the "Knyaz Simeon Turnovski" Commercial High School, Stara Zagora. The project gives students the opportunity for creative interpretation of stories developed over time and various activities in the production of a popular science film. In the paradigm of learning that meets the current requirements, the research process, the handling of technology and software products covers the complex process of project-based learning. Therefore, hand in hand, the scientific approach and the creative realization of the students complement and mutually emphasize each other in a single STEM project. It is the answer to the need to prepare personnel for the professions of the future.
