Regional natural history periodicals and their importance for the knowledge of the Czech epigraphic fund
Roháček, Jiří
Regional history periodicals are of a great importance for epigraphic studies of larger than regional scale. This is due to the specific character of epigraphic sources and their connection to works of art and artefacts of material culture. The fact is of a great interpretation value, on the other hand it predeterminates extremely difficult physical availability. Physical availability along with difficult restitution of inscriptions, which are often damaged, rarely enables fieldwork of a larger range and demands to work with various types of secondary approach to inscriptions. Regional periodicals represent a source of a great importance, a lot of material can be found in essays, which are primarily of a „non-epigraphic“ character. After being made properly accessible in bibliographical and other aspects, these essays can contribute with valuable tiles into the Mosaic of secondary sources for epigraphic studies of a larger than regional scale. These essays would be even more fruitful if at least basic editorial principles were followed.
