Shards of the history of the First republic. Oriental Institute, Alois Musil and unrealized travel to the Orient
Jůnová Macková, Adéla
The study is aimed at the very beginnings of the Oriental Institute in Prague. The main role playd orientalist Alois Musil, minister Rudolf Hotowetz and a lawyer Zdeněk Fafl. They prepared the official part of the institute – statutes, the members list etc. The main amount of work should be shaped according the results of an Oriental travel. From a letter by Alois Musil we know all the details he planned to undertake but finally due to his other scholar work this travel was canceled. However the plans from the letter show very clearly the role of the Oriental institute as an important economic and cultural institution.
