The objective of the paper is to re-evaluate the claims reiterated in the literature on the Wycliffite Bible concerning the etymological make-up of the text(s). The Wycliffite Bible, or - rather - its two versions, are late 14th-century Middle English renditions from Latin, commonly regarded as either replete with Latinisms or at least heavily dependent on Latin in terms of vocabulary. These claims, however, have thus far not been corroborated by any evidence. The paper will endeavour to fill...

The author discusses the results of the study made on 103 blind children and 97 children with sight, aged 8, 12, and 15, in the light of the cognitive theory. The children were interrogated with the questionnaire constructed by the author, which contained 3 problems: 1. the origin of moral norms in the individual consciousness of the child (Where does he know from what is good or wrong?) and in the social consciousness (What is the source of people’s knowledge of good and wrong?); 2. the time...

In the upbringing of blind children it is important to know the factors which condition their moral development, particularly the specificity of the situation of the loss of sight, so that one may influence the moral profile of a blind child by manipulating these factors.
