Saint Gunther. An Heremit, Colonizer and Diplomat
Kubín, Petr ; Wernisch, Martin (advisor) ; Hlinka, Vít (referee) ; Nechutová, Jana (referee)
The presented thesis surveys the life and medieval cult of one of Bohemian patrons - St. Gunther. Gunther was a member of powerful Thuringian noble family named the Sizzons. He decided to be a monk under the influence of Abbot Gotthard of Hersfeld in 1005. After a novitiate in the Bavarian Abbey of Niederaltaich he became for a short time a provost in Thuringian Göllingen, but his local activity ended soon in fiasco. Therefore he returned to Niederaltaich and after that into a hermitage which he founded in Rinchnach in the Bavarian Forest. Here he lived with a small community untill 1040. He engaged first of all in colonization of the surrounding lands and in building of roads. Besides these he took also diplomatical journeys in the service of Roman kings and emperors. He might also have been involved in a mission among the Lutici and a visit at the royal court in Hungary. In the spring 1040 he left Rinchnach , probably in context with the expedition of Henry III to Bohemia, to enter a hermitage high in the mountains in Dobrá Voda near Hartmanice. After Henry's debacle in the battle at Domažlice in August 1040 he ensured a safe departure of Saxonian army, which operated in the neigbourhood of the North--Bohemian Bílina. He died on 9th October 1045 in the reputation of sainthood. The contemporaneous Abbot...

This work is broadly conceived attempt to look into the translation by Jan Blahoslava, one of the most important figures of the Czech Brethren, which significantly influenced its cultural orientation. The work of Bishop from Ivančice, based on the original text of translating the New Testament, after some adjustments were borrowed into edition known like Bible kralická. In the following lines we describe the emergence of the first translation of the author's readiness for such an enterprise, its theoretical foundations, through the method of the work itself to its final form.

Picture of the Holy Land in Adomnán's De locis sanctis
Falátková, Michaela ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Nechutová, Jana (referee) ; Bláhová, Marie (referee)
The presented thesis deals with the work On the Holy Places (De locis sanctis) compiled by the monk and abbot Adomnán of Iona (624-704). Adomnán's work provides evidence of the unknown Gallic pilgrim Arculf about his journey to the Holy Land. Furthermore, Adomnán's text represents a complex historical source about the character of the early medieval pilgrimage during the second half of the 7th Century. Moreover, On the Holy Places offers extensive description and topography of the holy places associated with Jesus Christ's life, passion, and resurrection, hence oscillates between itinerary and hagiography. From the perspective of literary history, Adomnán's narrative has a deep-rooted background within the tradition, nevertheless, provides a significant number of innovations beyond the traditional views. The thesis contextualised Adomnán's text within the 7th-Century Iro-Scottish literary production, i.e. introduces Adomnán's new concept of pilgrimage narrative. Moreover, the text presents the first translation of On the Holy Places from Latin into Czech along with extensive commentary. The historical-critical method of Classic and Medieval studies, together with synchronous and diachronic analysis, was used. The detailed commentary contextualised Adomnán's work within the archaeological excavations...

The Sacramental Theology of Jakoubek of Stříbro and Ins Liturgical Reception
Kolář, Pavel ; Holeton, David Ralph (advisor) ; Wernisch, Martin (referee) ; Nechutová, Jana (referee)
Svátostná teologie Jakoubka ze Stříbra a její liturgická recepce The Sacramental Theology of Jakoubek of Stříbro and lts Liturgical Reception Mgr. Pavel Kolář, M.T.S. The studies in this dissertation deal with two mutually interrelated topics and almost have the character of two case studies. Their relation one to the other might best be expressed by the general rule lex orandi - lex credendi. Following the initial general introduction, the first two chapters (2. Ordo missae in Three Utraquist Manuscripts and 3. A Comparasion ol the Rite ol the Preparation ol Gifts and Minor Canon) are dedicated to an analysis of three Utraquist liturgical manuscripts and are specifically concemed with their ordo missae and canon minor. AU three manuscripts are dated to the sixteenth century - a more precise dating is still an unresolved question.
