Fungovanie školstva na cisárskych panstvách Holíč a Šaštín od štyridsiatych rokov 18. storočia do štyridsiatych rokov 19. storočia // Functioning of education on the imperial estates Holíč and Šaštín from the 1740s to the 1840s

Abstract

The study deals with the existence of schools and the functioning of education on the Holíč and Šaštín estates in a period when they were owned by the Habsburg Imperial family, roughly from the 1740s. It is based on research focused on two archive collections held in the Slovak National Archives: Habsburg Family — Holíč Estate, and Habsburg Family — Šaštín Estate. The nature and content of these sources only make it possible to reconstruct some elements of the functioning of the local education, in regard of the attitude of the seigneurial administration towards schooling, the social status of teachers, and the state of repair of the school buildings. Therefore, the study specifically examines the working conditions in which schools and educators found themselves in the period under review.
