Vyšehrad in the age of Vratislav II.
Katrák, Ondřej ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Záruba, František (referee)
Vyšehrad in the Age of Vratislav II My thesis is concerned with one of the famous periods of Vyšehrad. Prince Vratislav II, from 1085 the first Czech king, laid the foundation stone of St. Peter's basilica here at 1070, and established a collegiate chapter. The foundation wouldn't be unusual if it hadn't been taken out from the competences of the Prague bishop and been subordinated directly to Papal Curia. In specialized literature it was concluded for a long time that the establishment of the unusual ecclesiatical institution in the area of medieval Bohemia was a reflection of private disagreements of Prince Vratislav and Prague bishop Jaromír-Gebhard. In the last few years, explorers point out that Vratislav with his foundation of Vyšehrad pursued higher political interests. This condition supports the fact of Vratislav's construction activity in the area of Vyšehrad. The foundation of collegiate chapter of St. Peter's basilica, in a two-choir basilica form, wasn't the only one of Prince's qualities. In the area of Vyšehrad there is also a smaller three-aisled basilica of St. Clement and St. Lawrence that is built in the spirit of actual influences of the Hirsau reform architecture. The foundation of St. Martin's Rotunda is also associated with Vratislav's reign. For the current research, the...

Catholic Reformation in Kozmografie česká by Zikmund of Púchov
Krejčová, Markéta ; Petráček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kubín, Petr (referee)
Catholic reform in the Kosmografia česká of Zikmund of Púchov The Kosmografia česká appeared in Prague in 1554 as Czech version of Cosmographia universalis by Sebestian Münster. It was on king Ferdinand I.'s recomendation in the connection with the talks on solution of religious situation in Czech Lands and in particular on problems of proper education tendencies effective to impede further propagation of heresy. The publishing costs bore the administrator of Prague archbishopric Jan of Púchov, while his nephew Zikmund of Púchov translated and laid out the book. This work describes publishing Cosmography in hictorical and literary context, tries to cover circumstances of its origin and their impact on the book conception too. It pays special attention to commentaries of Zikmund of Púchov in which he favoured a reform of the Christian society, dirupted by demoralization, religious disunion and threatened by Turkish expansion. Making much account of the Habsburg House's special role an the world rectification, he stressed their importance and function at the Church reformation as well as protection of Christendom against Turkish menace. He defened Ferdinand I.'s policy of strengthening the catholicism connected with centralizing and absolutist tendencies of his rule. Keywords: early modern, Czech...

Ecclesiastical History of Benesov in the Light of Archeological Research
Váňová, Libuše ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
99 Bibliografická citace Církevní dějiny Benešova ve světle archeologických výzkumů /rukopis/: diplomová práce / Váňová Libuše; vedoucí práce: Petr Kubín. - Praha, 2011. - 99 s. Anotace: Diplomová práce "Církevní dějiny Benešova ve světle archeologických výzkumů" vychází z dosud publikovaných prací, které mapují historii města a jeho církevních objektů. V první fázi je tedy nejprve věnována pozornost současnému zpracování tématu. Druhá fáze je pak zaměřena na přehled archeologických výzkumů, které se v dané lokalitě v průběhu doby uskutečnily. Důraz je kladen na výzkumy objektů sakrální povahy (klášter minoritů, farní kostel sv. Mikuláše, špitál s kostelem sv. Alžběty, areál piaristické koleje). Výsledky těchto výzkumů jsou pak konfrontovány s řečí písemných pramenů. V rámci objektivity nebylo možné opomenout i některé profánní objekty. Bez jejich archeologického prověření by totiž unikaly dějinné souvislosti. Za přínos lze považovat, že se podařilo objevem slovanského pohřebiště z 10. - 11. století podpořit zprávu (byť z pozdního pramene), která hovoří o svěcení kostela v Benešově v roce 1070. Klíčová slova: Církevní dějiny Benešova - historie města - archeologie Abstrakt: Thesis "Ecclestical History of Benesov in the light of archeological research" is based on Publisher work, which charts the history of...

History and Constructional Development of the St. Pancras Church in Prague
Katrák, Ondřej ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Pátková, Hana (referee)
History and building development of the St. Pancras church in Prague The revealation of the bottom of the St. Pancras Romanesque rotunda during the development of the Prague underground Line C meant completely a new chapter for this building. This "small-town church" became the main theme for many scholars and explorers, because its creation is absolutely related to the rise of Vyšehrad, an important center of the Czech state at the turn of the 11th and 12th century, and the St. Pancras patronage undoubtly refers to the meaning of Vyšehrad being built as Czech Rome. Even thought Czech princes moved back to the Prague Castle and the St. Pancras changed just to a suburbian church, it became a part of some important events in Czech history, whether we mean the battle in 1420 or the siege of Swedish armies during 1648. St. Pancras, rotunda, church, Vysehrad, Czech Rome.
