Píš, Ondřej ; Holý, Martin (advisor) ; Ďurčanský, Marek (referee)
The theme of the bachelor thesis is the study of the members of the Unity of Brethren at the foreign schools in the 16th and the early 17th century. As a main source we can regard the editions of the preserved registries of the specific educational institutions. I also used the preserved official correspondence, which further exlaines the lives of selected people. The Register of the Members of the Prague Church of the Unity of Brethren from 1607 was used for the confessional identification of the students. The bachelor thesis is thematically divided into four chapters. The first chapter introduces the system of the pre-university and the higher education in the Czech lands and also in the foreign countries and thematizes the phenomenon of the academic peregrination. The second chapter deals with the ralationship of the Unity of Brethren to the education in general. The most extensive third chapter contains biograms of a total of 19 selected students of the Unity of Brethren. In many cases these personalities have been partially or completely neglected by existing literature. Students life stories are analyzed in the forth chapter. The thesis also affected the not yet explored topic of family traditons in education.
