| Anotace: Lucius Aemilius Paulus Macedonicus was usually called Aemilius or Aemilius Paulus. He was a Roman statesman, consul, and general during the Third Macedonian War, which lasted from 171 to 168 B.C., and which makes up a large part of the story. However, Aemilius had a long career in Roman government before his election as consul and his accompanying duties as military general. The first few lessons follow him through his positions as aedile, praetor (with special honours), and consul (twice). He had a second, separate position as an augur, an omen-reading priest. Plutarch says that Aemilius took the job of being an augur so seriously that he raised it to an art form.
He also took his role as military commander very seriously. Plutarch finds it noteworthy that he personally taught (instructed, coached) the soldiers under his command. We get a picture already of an extra-ordinary man; perhaps one who made an art form of "being a Roman."

| Anotace: Řád církevní Jednoty Bratří Českých, vydaný v roce 1632 v polském Lešně patří v rámci publikační činnosti Jednoty k pozdním tiskům. Vzhledem k tomu, že jde o tisk schválený synodem Jednoty, představuje bezpochyby oficiální názory teologů Jednoty bratrské první poloviny sedmnáctého století. Jeho název vyvolává v soudobém čtenáři pocit, že jde spíše o látku týkající se církevního práva, při četbě Řádu je poměrně záhy zřejmé, že samotný text však tomuto předpokladu neodpovídá. Tato práce si klade za cíl charakterizovat Řád církevní Jednoty Bratří Českých z hlediska účelu, pro který byl sepsán a v první části shromažďuje a vyhodnocuje informace vykreslující historické pozadí vzniku textu. Dále zde zpracovává podklady dokladující charakter myšlenkového a právního prostředí doby a místa, ve které a na kterém text vznikal. Na tomto základě upřesňuje účel a charakter textu Řádu církevního Jednoty Bratří Českých. Druhý cíl, který tato práce sleduje je hledání odpovědi na otázku, zda text samotný, který ve své většině popisuje praktické otázky života křesťanského společenství, od úrovně regionální správy církve až po úroveň praktické aplikace křesťanského přístupu k životu v rodině, je díky autoritě na které spočívá nadčasový a může být podkladem pro promýšlení současné církevní praxe, nebo zda je časově podmíněný natolik, že je dnes pouze historickým dokumentem.

| Anotace: Idea státu rakouského je dílo Františka Palackého, ve kterém českému národu vyložil svou představu budoucího uspořádání rakouského císařství. Jedná se o sérii osmi článků, které vyšly tiskem v roce 1865 v deníku Národ. V roce 1907 je souborně (spolu s Psaním Františka Palackého do Frankfurtu) vydalo Ottovo nakladatelství v redakci Jaroslava Kvapila. Palacký v díle navrhuje přetvoření Rakouska na federaci více autonomních celků, a to jako protipól dualizace státu.
