Kučková, Lucie ; Andresová, Klára (advisor) ; Šípek, Richard (referee)
The thesis is focused on the processing of the collection of the Veltrusy castle library. The aim of this thesis includes the content and provenance characteristics of the collection. The introductory chapters describe the history of the castle building with the library in the town Veltrusy, and the history of the Chotek family with a focus on the builders of the library. The following chapters include a chronological, thematic, linguistic and provenance analysis of the collection. The problematic is dealt with the method of content and critical analysis. Using the methods, it was found out that the majority of the collection comes from the 18th century, there is mainly fiction in the library, and French books predominate. Jan Rudolf Chotek, the magnifier of the library, is an important figure from the provenance point of view.
