"Library as a Mirror of the Mind" - The Conception of the Warburg Library
Johanidesová, Tereza ; Šípek, Richard (advisor) ; Sladká, Veronika (referee)
Bachelor thesis focuses on the research library, founded by a significant German art historian and historian of culture, Aby Warburg. The Library was originally located in Hamburg as Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg. Before the 2nd World War, the Library was forced to change its residence into London where it became the department (The Warburg Institute) of the University of London. The thesis outlines shortly the history of Library in the context of Aby Warburg's life and his scientific work. The next chapters are devoted to the description of Library's classification scheme and the organization of books based on the open shelves system, both in the connection with Warburg's scholarly methods. Within the scope of these issues, the deeper analysis of the term "research library", which was not so far discussed adequately in Czech librarian discourse, is done. Some of the strategies and rules coined by Aby Warburg for the purposes of efficiency of open acces book collection are closely clarified - "the law of good neighbourhood", serendipity, and others.

In the 17th century, an independent Bohemian province was established and Saint Thomas monastery became a natural centre of it. This diploma thesis aims to provide an overview of a history of library and to introduce significant members of Augustinian order, who contributed to development (in time of prosperity) of library. Author is particularly focused on early modern period, to which scholars have not paid attention yet, and events connected to the end of the Thirty Years War, when, as it was assumed in the past, the library sustained big damage. Apart from that, everyday interest and care for books and libraries inside the order will be characterised and the cultural and historical impact of the library of Saint Thomas convent will also be emphasized. Origins and medieval period of the library is...
