The values and valuation in the handwritten dedications. Stability or variability of the axiological system?

Maria Krauz

Abstract

The author of the article analyzes the values and their names recorded in handwritten dedications from the special collections of university’s libraries. The analysis includes both the revealed valuation in individual segments of the structural pattern (concerning the addressee, object and author of dedication) as well as the name of values in the main dedication formula. The analysis of the collected material leads to the conclusion that the values are changing. Some value names pass away with culture, others show changing human needs, an individual’s emotional relation to the recipient or valorized objects.
