So as not to digress from the order of the Chronicle and not to tell ridiculous tales, I shall tell you a little something. The grotesque level in Hájek's Czech Chronicle
Havelka, Tomáš
This paper attempts to distinguish a comic level within Hájek's Czech Chronicle. Based on excerpts from anecdotal inserts, satirical and ironic passages and commentaries it finds an ongoing level of flat grotesquerie, not actually containing vulgarisms or scatological passages, but often making use of subtIe alterations of models, ludic puns on names and rythmic punchlines. Hájek used the comic both to make evaluative comments on moral shortcomings in particular and to stylistically enhance his chronicle narrative.
