“…The authors of these texts continued in the tradition of their ancient predecessors, the so-called scriptores rei rustice, the most prominent of whom were Cato, Varro, Columella, and Palladius, and just like their ancient forerunners, these modern-era authors commented upon the household and property management, the duties of the manor owners (the so-called Hausvater -"father of the house") and their wives (Hausmutter), bookkeeping, the construction of their family residence and outbuildings, utility and, often to a lesser extent, ornamental gardens, social relations within the family as well with the subjects and subordinates at the manor, religious duties and animal breeding. The texts also contained a calendar, medical advice, recipes for the preparation of various meals and beverages, and tables to be used for interpreting dreams (Košenina, 2010;Ogilvie et al, 2009;Priesner, 2011;Singhof, 2007). In other words, this literature was focused on the art of running a household by the father of the house, or by the husband and wife, each with their own designated roles and duties.…”

Aim. The aim of this study is to discuss how important the so-called Hausväterliteratur genre was in the education and spirituality of (not only) aristocrats in the Early Modern Era. Concept. This article will introduce the Hausväterliteratur as a literary genre that strongly influenced the spirituality and morality of its readers –householders, administrators of property, and their wives. Methods. The method applied was text analysis. The social history method based on research of the primary sources was also employed.. Results. The study confirms that the treatises of the so-called Hausväterliteratur genre, kept in high numbers in European libraries in the Early Modern Age, carry a certain type of spirituality which calls for “true Christian life” following what was often a Protestant pattern (exhortation for frequent reading of the Bible). Conclusion. Most of these books outline an ideal of the Christian life, characterised by the establishment of an order within the “household”, or “house”, i.e., the family in the broader sense, including both the manor owner and those closest to him as well as all his subjects and servants.
