The Lectio principum treatise – one of the sources of the formation of ethical thinking in the 17th-century Slovakia Abstract: Ján Weber, a pharmacist and reeve of Prešov (town), reveals in the prologue of his treatise Lectio principum (1665), belonging to the genre of “mirror for princes”, the causes and circumstances of the origin of the treatise, and emphasizes the importance of educating youth for the good of the city and the country. In order to achieve this aim, he uses the techniques typical for the genre of exemplum. Through storytelling and setting examples to follow, he encourages rulers to cultivate Christian virtues, morality, and respect for the laws and the superiors. The prologue of the treatise is a demonstration of values that the author attempts to bequeath to future generations active in the field of politics and state ruling at various levels.

Ethical principles as the basis of governance in the works of Johann Weber Janus Bifrons and Lectio principumOur study deals with two works by Johann Weber, a pharmacist and mayor of the town Prešov, in which he tried to create an image of a virtuous ruler and governor who cares about the welfare of his people and the whole country. It is a physiological-political mirror (Specullum Physico Politicum) written in German and supplemented by Latin, forming the first part of a political trilogy. In the trilogy, Weber describes the qualities a ruler should possess, likening them to the various parts of the human body. The second part of the trilogy, Lectio principum, which is textually more complete and written both in German and Latin. Both are regnal mirrors, and contain ideas about governance in the 17th century.

The gnomic saying γνῶθι σεαυτόν and its use as a foundation for a good life are the basic principles on which Ján Weber, a renowned pharmacologist, doctor and mayor of Prešov, builds on in the prologue to the Lectio principium (1665), his Handbook on political thinking. The aim of the paper is to show to what extent, the author draws on the examples inherited from the Antiquity.

This article introduces the first edition of an anonymous graduation discourse from the Faculty of Liberal Arts of the University of Prague, dating from the beginning of the 15 th century and preserved in the manuscript Praha, Národní knihovna České republiky, VIII.E.5, ff. 80r-81r. This short text is an example for the practices and the motivations of the masters and students in philosophy in a less investigated environment, and reveals a combination of scholastic formalism, classical references and picturesque details. An exposition of the university sermons genre and its usage in central European universities at the end of the Middle Ages sets forth a detailed analysis of the structure of the text, and a comparison with similar texts exposes some details about its unknown author and his fellows.

In an endeavour to discuss and re-establish the foundational aspects of the literary phenomenon specula principum, or ‘mirrors for princes’, Global Medieval: Mirrors for Princes Reconsidered approaches this written tradition across its geographic, cultural, and temporal divides. The term ‘mirrors for princes’ here refers to a long-standing tradition of advice literature, usually dedicated to or commissioned for the education of kings or princes. This tradition – or genre as it is sometimes also referred to – has been the subject of considerable controversy, and several definitions have been proposed. There is not sufficient space in this essay to explain these debates fully, but for the benefit of the reader I refer to Otto Eberhardt’s definition of a speculum principis as ‘a conclusive work which discusses the proper behaviour of a ruler as exhaustively as possible with regard to his special position’.
