- Abstract
The paper deals with the dedications made by authors and usually placed af-ter the title page. The author observes any characteristic features of these texts, their forms and informative values, structure, attitude of address, expressiveness, inven-tiveness or even potential ideological background. The research sample comprised several publications written in Latin and published in the 18th century in the territo-ry of Slovakia, coming mainly from the environment of the historic Trnava Univer-sity. A more detailed analysis of dedications as a paratext part of the work leads the author to the conclusion that an often simple text can reveal a whole range of hidden connections and deep associations that hold a direct link to the person of the author and the place where the subject matter of the work originated. By placing the find - ings into their cultural-historical context, the study concludes with a summary of se-veral possibilities regularly occurring in connection with the research of dedication texts in Baroque literature.
