Catholic Confirmation Books in Czech Dioceses in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries: An Unpublished Source for the Study of the Sacrament of Confirmation
No full textCatholic confirmation books from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have survived in a number of Czech dioceses from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They represent a valuable but thus far largely overlooked source of information about how the Tridentine form of the rite of confirmation was established in a predominantly non-Catholic environment. The qualitative and quantitative character of the surviving confirmation books varies considerably, depending on how the Tridentine form of this sacrament was introduced in the re-Catholicized territories and whether the rite of confirmation was a means or more an outcome of the re-Catholicization process. This article outlines the initial stages of research and deals with confirmation books in the territory of five Czech dioceses. It assesses how many confirmation books from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have survived, in what state, and what information they provide, before tracing the factors that influenced how confirmation was introduced into religious practice and spread in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.Catholic confirmation books from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have survived in a number of Czech dioceses from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

A Dissonant Unity at Two Habsburg-Era Expositions: Vienna (1873) and Lviv (1894)
No full textIn the nineteenth century, world’s and regional fairs were touted as peaceful, unifying com-petitions. But upon closer scrutiny, exhibitions, international or local, promoted civilizatio-nal hierarchies and sidelined subaltern groups. This article examines how two Habsburg-era expositions, the 1873 Vienna World’s Fair and the 1894 General Provincial Exhibition in Lemberg/Lwów/Lviv, balanced the Habsburg state’s agenda of supranational unity against the rising tide of late-nineteenth century nationalist discord. At the Weltausstellung, the new-ly autonomous Galicia figured as a barely distinct part of Cisleithania. Two decades later, the Landesausstellung in Lemberg allowed Galicians to supplant the earlier, disappointing presentation. Devised as a parade of Polish industrial and cultural achievements, the exhibit-tion relegated Ruthenians to the ethnographic village. Nevertheless, the Provincial Exhibi-tion marked a milestone in Ruthenian national revival while contributing to a sharp turn in the Polish-Ruthenian conflict. The analysis points to the broader significance of state-spon-sored celebrations for national self-assertion in late Austrian Galicia and beyond.In the nineteenth century, world’s and regional fairs were touted as peaceful, unifying com-petitions.
