The position of those Western Slavs who were fasci-
nated by the Roman orbit was different ; the Latin hier-
archy, independent of the State, undermined monarchical
power, and Roman culture, inferior for the moment to
that of Byzantium, too remote to stir the intellects of the
Czechs and Poles, was made more inaccessible to them
by the fact that the Latin monks were ignorant of Sla-
