Matthew of Cracow's Dialogue of frequent reception of the Eucharist and his role in the intellectual world of the prehussite reform movement
 Lužný, Michael ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Doležalová, Lucie (referee)
Matthew of Cracow was one of the most significant members of Prague University during its pre- hussite era. In addition to that, he is considered as one of the main representatives of the reform movement focused on correction of Christian life in the society of the second part of 14th and the beginning of 15th century. From his rich literary output, the work known as Dialogue of Reason and Consciousness of Frequent Communion deserves a special regard. It is one of many texts dealing with Eucharist theme that originated in Czech Lands in the second part of the 14th century. Among them, the Dialogue stands out because of its enormous popularity, reflected in high number of manuscripts.

Matthew of Cracow. His activity in Prague and the manuscripts containing his works in czech milieu
 Lužný, Michael ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Doležalová, Lucie (referee)
This thesis deals with Matthew of Cracow. This significant late-medieval scholar spent the greatest part of his life, from the 60s until the beginning of 90s of the 14th century, at the Prague university. The majority of his voluminous literary heritage was created during the years spent in Prague. His most important works belonged to the wide reformation movement which was gaining ground in the late 14th century Bohemia, when the crisis of the Catholic Church escalated. The first part provides a brief overview of Matthew's stay in Prague. The emphasis is placed on extant sources proving Matthew's Prague activity, which are confronted with some deductions and assumptions present in older literature. This thesis includes a list of manuscripts containing transcriptions of Matthew's texts kept in Czech institutions. Based on an analysis of this list, the main part of the thesis then shows the reception of his texts in the Bohemian milieu. This kind of research has not yet been conducted in Czech historiography and thus creates a foundation for the future study of Matthew and other members of the Prague pre-Hussite university.
