Doc. PaedDr. Pavol Pareni\u010dka, CSc. from the Slovak Literary Institute of Matica Slovensk\u00e1 is the author of encyclopedias, scientific monographs, and studies. He is an expert on \u0160t\u00far-related issues and a familiar face from Matica Slovensk\u00e1’s documentary films. On the 230th anniversary of \u0160af\u00e1rik’s birth, he published Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik: Doba, \u017eivot, dielo, pamiatky, literat\u00fara (Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik: Time, Life, Work, Memories, Literature), which is available ONLINE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere of the celebration was captured in Regina \u2013 a magazine about life in the regions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik (May 13, 1795, Kobeliarovo \u2013 June 26, 1861, Prague)<\/strong>
Was born to a Protestant teacher’s family. He received good education at the lyceum in Ke\u017emarok and later at the University of Jena. For several years, he served as the director of the Serbian Orthodox Gymnasium in Novi Sad, but years spent in Prague, where he became a respected scientist in 1833, one of the founders of Slavic studies, and an important figure in the Czech and Slovak national revival were crucial. In his scientific research, \u0160af\u00e1rik focused primarily on the oldest history of the Slavic nations. Among his most important works are Slovansk\u00e9 staro\u017eitnosti (Slavic Antiquities, 1837) and Slovansk\u00fd n\u00e1rodopis (Slavic Ethnography, 1842), which fundamentally expanded knowledge about the origins and history of the Slavs. \u0160af\u00e1rik also devoted himself to literary creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The works of P. J. \u0160af\u00e1rik contributed significantly to the formation of Slavic consciousness and cultural identity. To this day, he remains one of the greatest thinkers in Slavic and Slovak history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May he rest in peace!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
