Abstract
This study calls attention to Kollár’s two-part sermon which exerted a
large influence on the national consciousness of the modern Slav nations.
Kollár discusses five good qualities of the Slav nation: its godliness,
diligence, cheerfulness, love of mother tongue, and forbearance
towards other nations. Among the possible prototypes of this sermon
are a paper by János Horváth, entitled “On the Religious and Moral
Condition of the Hungarians” in the 1817 volume of Tudományos
Gyűjtemény. The manner of adoption can be seen as creative artistic
activity, in the course of which Kollár significantly reinterpreted the
qualities in question and applied them to the Slav nation.
Študija opozarja na Kollárjevo parno pridigo, ki je imela velik vpliv
na nacionalno zavest sodobnih slovanskih narodov. Kollár razpravlja
o petih dobrih lastnosti slovanskih narodov: njihovi pobožnosti,
marljivosti, veselosti, ljubezni do materinščine in popustljivosti do
drugih narodov. Med možne prototipe te pridige sodi članek Jánosa
Horvátha z naslovom O verskem in moralnem stanju starih Madžarov
v izdaji Tudományos Gyűjtemény iz leta 1817. Način prevzemanja
lahko razumemo tudi kot ustvarjalno umetniško dejavnost, s katero
je Kollár znatno reinterpretiral omenjene lastnosti in jih prenesel na
slovanski narod.
