State castle Litomyšl library. The history of the library collection, the analysis and cataloguing of its greatest part
Večeře, Vít ; Sládek, Miloš (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the library of the state castle Litomyšl that was created as a product of the state institutions in the second half of the 20th century. The thesis deals with the topic in two fundamental segments - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part provides comprehensive processing of the library history and analysis of the particular unit especially from the topical, chronological and geographical point of view. The paper also focuses on the language, provenance as well as physical condition of the books and especially the graphics of the prints. From a thematic point of view, particular emphasis is placed on the most interesting, though not very numerous, group of religious prints and manuscripts. The practical part of the thesis, which consists in the cataloguing of the fund, brings the greatest factual contribution, especially to Národní památkový ústav that will therefore obtain a complex overview on one of its collections, but also to specialized public, for whom the composition of the catalogue means the possibility of the research use.

Paradise Lost and Silmarillion:Rebellion and evil in literary myths by John Milton and J.R.R. Tolkien
Procházková, Eliška ; Charypar, Michal (advisor) ; Sládek, Miloš (referee)
There is no doubt that profesor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, while he was creating the oldest myths of his literary world, published under the title Silmarillion, worked not only with the Nordic, Germanic or Celtic myths, but as a Catholic did not forget about the christian stories. His inspirational sources certainly included it's biggest conflict, the Lucifer's rebellion against God. He apparently knew the most famous depiction of this theme, an extensive epic poem by an english baroque writer John Milton. In this thesis I will focus on Tolkien's own mythology and the strongest influences that could have affected it. And I will compare the story and destiny of Tolkien's Melkor with those of Satan. The biblical one and also the one as depicted by John Milton in his work. Keywords Tolkien, Milton, Silmarillion, Paradise lost, evil, mythology
