Prof. Milada Paulová – historian of the First Resistance
Brádlerová, Daniela
The primary aim of the study is to bring closer the complicated personality of the Czech historian, originally a Byzantologist, Milada Paulová, and her efforts to accept modern history as a relevant scientific field. Since M. Paulová was one of the so-called engaged historians, her attitude to the Czech and South Slavic anti-Austrian resistance during the First World War and the subsequent establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic was analyzed. The research of the surviving sources so far has shown that the “involvement” of M. Paulová and her preference for modern history – the anti-Habsburg resistance comes later, in connection with her stay in the Kingdom of SHS (1920–1921). The forming influence on her further professional direction was personal contact with personalities of the Czech and South Slavic resistance, as a result of which she essentially left her career as a Byzantologist. At the same time, the study reflects her points of view and briefly evaluates her life’s works: “Jugoslavenski odbor” and “History of Maffia”.

Holocaust Testimonies in the Digital Era – EHRI Online Edition
Sedlická, Magdalena ; Schellenbacher, Wolfgang
A key goal of the EHRI online editions platform is to develop annotated online editions of documents as a new way of presenting digital archival content. The editions are empowered by new EHRI tools for digital editing and use and improve upon the EHRI vocabularies and descriptions to generate contextual information displayed to users. Compared to analogue editions, the freely accessible online editions enable new research approaches and a different reading of the documents. Through metadata-tagging and geo-referencing, the editions do not exclusively follow thematic or chronological patterns. They are searchable and filtered for specific thematic or spatial interests at any time and are contextualised through interactive maps. EHRI platform hopes to support and possibly host third party projects.\n

The function of the author in the Middle Ages, as demonstrated by the iconography of Guillaume de Machaut’s manuscripts
Panušková, Lenka
This paper addresses the depicting of the poet and author Guillaume de Machaut. Several of Machaut’s compositions or “dits” reflect the principles of poetry, and in this context they also reflect his status as an author or authority. During his lifetime two manuscripts were created, MS fr. 1586 (c. 1350) and MS fr. 1584 (c. 1370), which scholars believe may have been produced under Machaut’s direct supervision. Several other manuscripts dating form after Machaut’s death have also been preserved, of which MS fr. 9221 and MSS fr. 22545-22546 in particular are also the subject of this study. Illuminations featuring Machaut in the role of author can be divided into three groups (poet-scribe, university iconography, inspired poet), each of which emphasises a different aspect of writing and presenting poetry. However, it seems that despite attempts by some scholars to see Machaut’s direct influence in the illuminations, the individual masters were working with contemporary iconography.

Guillaume de Machaut at the royal court: the function of the author
Fantysová Matějková, Jana
The medieval author eludes both the modern concept of the author and the structuralist concept, because he belongs to a different historical reality: the character of a medieval text, the use of a written record and the way in which a work was disseminated do not correspond to what we consider literature today, and neither the concept of the author nor his status coincide with the modern notion. The origins of modern authorship can be traced as early as the Middle Ages, if we define the author in relation to the text, work and reader, in terms of the status granted to an author by his readers, and also in terms of his subjectivity. Taking as its example the poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut, this paper describes a number of phenomena typical of the Middle Ages, when oral performances and commissions by patrons dominated. It also describes the genesis of the author’s subjectivity, which was formed in relation to his patron and reflects Machaut´s social role.
