Abstract

U ovom se uratku sustavno obrađuje tema knjige Nike Ostojića O utjecaju svjetla na ljudski organizam. Ovo je djelo važno za hrvatsku i svjetsku kulturu zbog nekoliko komponenti koje se isprepliću u njemu: helioterapija kao tema alternativne medicine, činjenica da ga je napisao hrvatski autor u prvoj polovici devetnaestoga stoljeća i lingvističko-pedagoško-didaktička dimenzija koju knjiga sadrži. Govoreći o zdravlju na latinskom je čuvena misao mens sana in corpore sano. Razvoj medicine je u povijesti ostavio mnogo djela napisanih na latinskom. Dotično djelo govori o liječenju pomoću sunčevih zraka odnosno o helioterapiji. Pisana su djela i o ostalim metodama koje danas znamo stavljati u kategoriju alternativna medicina; pored navedene helioterapije imamo homeopatiju, makrobiotiku. Na stranu osnovna tema knjige, činjenica je da je djelo napisano 1835. godine dok je trajalo razdoblje u hrvatskoj povijesti poznato kao Hrvatski narodni preporod. Suštinski najvažniji događaj bilo je proglašenje hrvatskoga jezika službenim, dok se latinski među elitom koristio kao sekundarni štit protiv germanizacije i mađarizacije. Osim dotične službenosti, na latinskom su napisana mnoga djela u hrvatskoj književnosti, bilo znanstvenoga, bilo umjetničkoga karaktera. I zadnje što vrijedi istaknuti je glede jezika i te odgoja i obrazovanja. Hrvatski ima mnogo latinizama i zato se može istaknuti da je latinski u svakodnevnoj upotrebi, a vrijedi istaknuti popularnost učenja romanskih jezika, prije svega talijanskoga, francuskoga i španjolskoga. Važnost u učenju latinskoga povezujući ga s drugim jezicima su odlike koje pojedinac/nka može istaknuti: kulturalna povezanost s drugim narodima, sklonost učenju stranih jezika i međusobno uvažavanje općenito. Jedan jezik i jedna tema povežu ljude, kulture, no zacijelo mogu otvoriti nove interese, čežnje, planove i tako dalje.

Abstract (english)

In this work, the subject of Nicolaus Ostoich's book On the Influence of Light on the Human Organism is systematically treated. The author's work is important for Croatian and world culture because of several components that are intertwined in it: heliotherapy as a topic of alternative medicine, the fact that it was written by a Croatian author in the first half of the nineteenth century, and the linguistic-pedagogical-didactic dimension that the book contains. Speaking about health in Latin is the famous thought mens sana in corpore sano. The development of medicine has left many works written in Latin in the history. The work in question talks about treatment using the sun's rays, that is, about heliotherapy. Works have also been written about other methods that today we know to put in the category of alternative medicine; in addition to the mentioned heliotherapy, we have homeopathy, macrobiotics. Aside from the main theme of the book, the fact is that the work was written in 1835 during the period in Croatian history known as the Croatian National Revival. The essentially most important event would be the declaration of the Croatian language as official, while Latin was used among the elite as a secondary shield against Germanization and Hungarianization. Apart from the relevant officialdom, many works in Croatian literature, either scientific or artistic, were written in Latin. And the last thing that is worth pointing out is about language matters and upbringing and education. Croatian has many Latinisms, which is why it can be pointed out that Latin is in everyday use, and it is worth pointing out the popularity of learning Romance languages, especially Italian, French and Spanish. The importance of learning Latin by connecting it with other languages are features that an individual can highlight: cultural connection with other peoples, tendency to learn foreign languages and mutual respect in general. One language and one topic connect people, cultures, but they can certainly open up new interests, longings, plans and so on.
