The paper aims to present both complex nature and multiple origins of deepseated conflict with reference to validity of Central European medieval state model. The author emphasizes that the discussion on early medieval forms of state on territories of contemporary Czech Republic, Moravia, Poland, Slovakia or Hungary may be continued only on international scholarly forum that eliminates all socio-political factors (see Feyerabend) influencing the development of scientific theory and method. The origin of narrative framework for understanding and creating the Central European medieval state model should be linked with Polish authors. In contemporary Polish historiography that issue is being raised again. Thus we may expect that return of that subject of research would provide us a wider framework for scientific cooperation between Polish and Czech medieval history studies.

The intensity of scientific contacts between the countries is evidenced, inter alia, in the make-up of the foreign members of the academy of sciences of a given country. In the case of the Academy of Learning in Kraków, later the Polish Academy of Learning (PAU) and the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (ČAVU), the relations have been thoroughly investigated by a Czech historian M. Ďurčanský. As regards the relationships in the field of medicine, a mutual membership of a group of foreign members of PAU and ČAVU was uncommon, a notable example being Rudolf Kimla, the professor of the Faculty of Medicine at Charles University in Prague. Kimla was renowned for his work for the development of cooperation within the Slavic medical milieu, which was fostered by Slavic doctor conventions. Kimla’s appointment as a foreign member of PAU (1935) followed his participation in a congress of Slavic doctors held in Poznań in 1933.

The present article focuses on the so called crypto-Catholicism from the early modern Ottoman Albania, as documented by the missionary accounts, which are practically the only available sources for studying this phenomenon. Using the twin concepts of simulation and dissimulation of faith, as defined in the normative texts of the Roman Curia, our goal is to analyse and contextualize the various practices linked to the occultation of faith. We investigated especially the way(s) in which the Roman clergy, both local and central, addressed such delicate and uncomfortable issues. Our conclusion is that, unlike the Roman Curia (i.e. Propaganda Fide or the Sacred Office), which constantly and inflexibly discouraged such practices, the local clergy tended to regard them more indulgently and on a rather pragmatic basis.
