National Tribunal with Karel Sabina in a New Perspective of Unpublished Archival Dokuments
Kovařík, Petr ; Hrabáková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Brožová, Věra (referee)
Následující práce je věnována archivním dokumentům, které dosud zůstávaly mimo pozornost badatelů. Jde o fond Zemského soudu trestního ve Státním oblastním archivu Praha, kde jsou dochovány protokoly ze soudního vyšetřování onoho "národního soudu" z 30. července 1872. Karel Sabina totiž tehdy požádal policii a soud o ochranu před' "terorismem" účastníků tohoto soudu. Protože průběh zmíněného národního soudu byl dosud znám pouze z podání Jakuba Arbesa napsaného zřejmě podle vzpomínek některých z jeho účastníků, stojí za to je konfrontovat se zjištěními soudu a autentickými výpověďmi účastníků, učiněnými krátce po oné události.
