Epigraphica & Sepulcralia VI. Forum of epigraphical and sepulchral studies
Roháček, Jiří
A sixth volume in the series Epigraphica et Sepulcralia, with a concept as a periodical forum for epigraphic and sepulchral studies, and the aim of mapping out the current state of research in two disciplines that are in practice closely linked – sepulchral research and mediaeval and early modern epigraphy. It is intended that individual issues include deliberately articles with various chronological, thematic, disciplinary, and methodological approaches, and contributions by leading Czech and international researchers together with a selection of high-quality articles by researchers from the rising generation. In the current publication, therefore, in addition to the proceedings from the 12th and 13th international session on the issue of sepulchral monuments in 2012 and 2013, further complementary articles are to be found as outlined above.

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.
