Abstract: [eng] [cze]
Wenzel Trnka von Krzowitz (1739-1791), born in Tabor, was one of the most prominent figures of modern university medical education in Hungarian Kingdom, which was established by Gerhard van Swieten. He founded the first Hungarian medical faculty, and it was Václav Trnka who was personally selected as professor of anatomy. During his career as a professor, he wrote a considerable number of works that made him famous in medical circles throughout Europe. However, this renowned physician has fallen into obscurity over time and his personality is now almost unknown. The aim of this thesis is to describe the crucial aspects of his life utilizing fragment analysis and thus provide a closer understanding of his life circumstances. The second part of the thesis focuses on the analysis of his works in comparison with contemporary knowledge, but also by placing them in a contemporary context. Keywords: medicine, Hungarian Kingdom, medical faculty, Václav Trnka of Křovice, Gerhard van Swieten, sciatica, malaria, tetanus, diabetes, haemorrhoids, Semmelweis university, University of Trnava Václav Trnka z Křovic (1739 - 1791) narodený v Tábore, bol jednou z najvýraznejších postáv modernej univerzitnej výuky medicíny v Uhorsku, o ktorú sa zaslúžil Gerhard van Swieten. Ten založil prvú uhorskú lekársku fakultu, pričom práve Václav Trnka bol osobne vybratý za profesora anatómie. Počas svojej profesorskej kariéry napísal značné množstvo prác, ktoré ho v tom čase preslávili lekárskymi kruhmi naprieč celou Európou. Tento uznávaný lekár však postupom času upadol do zabudnutia a jeho osobnosť je v súčasnosti takmer neznáma. Predkladaná práca sa snaží na základe analýzy fragmentov popísať najdôležitejšie aspekty života Václava Trnku z Křovic a priblížiť tak jeho osobu a životnú realitu. Druhá časť práce je zameraná na analýzu jeho prác v porovnaní so súčasnými poznatkami, ale aj zasadením do dobového kontextu.
