The Piarist Order in Bohemia and their Educational Methods
Janušová, Martina ; Hrdlička, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ventura, Václav (referee)
The Piarist Order was established in Rome by St. Joseph Calasanz. Early after establishing, the order was invited to Czech lands. First, they were introduced to Mikulov (1631) and more colleges were established in Moravia. First college established in Bohemia was in Litomyšl. Piarists were not introduced to Prague until 1752 with contribution from a historian Gelasius Dobner. J. Calasanz dedicated his life to help his neighbours, primarily poor children. For these children, he established primary schools where trivium (reading, writing, counting) was taught. Upbringing and education were the most important to J. Calasanz which is why he wrote several publications on how to conduct schools. Over the course of time, Piarists opened gymnasiums and higher-education schools. The concept of gymnasiums was inspired by Ratio studiorum, a document published by the Jesuits.

Jan Pelar is an integral part of the cultural heritage of Wallachia. He personally represented Wallachian culture at Ethnographic Exhibition in Prague in 1895. On this occasion he obtained his first musician concession. Reportedly, he composed the Wallachian anthem, "My sme Valaši" on his way to Prague. This work will focus on his musical career and his personal life which was extraordinary. This work will focus on his musical career, his extraordinary personal life and his legacy to younger musicians.

An ideal ruler - Charles IV - viewed by Dante Alighieri, Cola di Rienzo and Francesco Petrarca
Janušová, Martina ; Doležalová, Eva (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The emperor Charles IV descended from the house of Luxembourg. Dante Alighieri regarded his grandfather, Henry VII, as an ideal ruler who should reign not only over the Empire but also over the Church. Charles IV himself is known to have been a very educated man, who maintained many contacts throughout Europe. Among Charles's admirers there were also two Italian humanists, Francesco Petrarca and Cola di Rienzo, whose lives headed in a different direction, but who both saw embodiment of Dante's idea of perfect ruler in Charles IV. In this study I would like to focus on the influence that Dante's concept of ideal ruler could have on Charles' way of government and on the relations between Charles IV and the mentioned two humanists, of whom the former was Charles's friend while the other only met Charles at the Prague court as a fugitive in disguise.
