Vrabelová, Dana ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Kořán, Ivo (referee) ; Buben, Milan (referee)
1 Summary The thesis, Imago gratiosa - Crowned Madonnas in Central Europe in the Baroque Period presents original research results primarily focused on the Madonne Coronate collection in the Archivio Capitolo di San Pietro at the Vatican Library, which was realised as part of Charles University grant project no. 356911 Coronation of Merciful Marian Imagos in Central Europe in the 17th and 18th Century. To become merciful (imago gratiosa) or miraculous (imago miraculosa) a Marian imago must demonstrate divine mercy (save lives during a disaster, cause miraculous recovery from illness, conception, etc.). The greatest expression of veneration and devotion to a merciful or miraculous imago or statue of the Virgin Mary is its coronation. The theological basis of this liturgical ceremony is the coronation of the Virgin Mary on her assumption to heaven. On earth, the Virgin Mary was crowned with imitations of the crowns of worldly monarchs and her crowned imago placed on a royal throne or altar, usually made especially for this occasion for greater honour and glory.

The nature of the coronation ceremony developed...

Valecký, Štěpán ; Buben, Milan (advisor) ; Kuthan, Jiří (referee)
The Coats of Arms in the countries of the Bohemian Crown in the Middle Ages Summary A coat-of-arms is an integral part of nobilities' representation in medieval times. The beginning of using coats-of-arms is based on historical traditions, but first of all on practical needs growing up from the war experiences. That's why heraldry has strict and firm rules, which are only consequences of combat experiences. In terms of feudal system medieval Lord becomes an owner of certain country. The coat-of-arms of certain country unites in time with the sign of ruling dynasty. That is also the way, how it happened in Bohemia. The beginning of the use of the coats-of-arms is classified usually into 12th century, the time of second crusade. In relation to vassal oath with Roman Empire the Czech principality takes over these principles and perhaps its first coat-of-arms - the eagle. A lion figure with one tail as well appears in bohemian coat-of-arms very early. In this period both figures are used by the sovereigns. Subsequently, the lion coat-of-arms, the dynastic sign of Premyslid dynasty, came to the fore. The eagle is the sign of holy Vaclav, patron and eternal monarch of Bohemian country. We can deduce the origin of the lion's figure from the coat-of- arms of the imperial Stauf dynasty; its origin could also come...

Legal position of the Order of the Knights from Malta
Závurka, Milan ; Hrdina, Antonín (advisor) ; Buben, Milan (referee)
Milan Závurka - bakalářská práce Právní postavení Suverénního řádu Maltézských rytířů Resumé Řád Maltézských rytířů, resp. řád sv. Jana, má zárodky ve starším bratrstvu italských kupců z Amalfi, kteří kolem roku 1040 založili v Jeruzalémě při kostele sv. Jana Křtitele špitál. Špitál sloužil hlavně poutníkům, kteří putovali k božímu hrobu. Oficiálně se toto bratrstvo osamostatnilo roku 1099 a v roce 1113 papež Paschal II. bullou vložil řád pod přímou ochranu Svatého stolce zároveň s právem svobodné volby velmistrů bez vměšování jakýchkoliv světských nebo církevních autorit. Zakladatelem a prvním velmistrem řádu byl bratr Gérard, který zemřel v roce 1120. Po pádu Jeruzaléma řád přesídlil nejprve do Akkonu, později na Kypr a ještě později na Rhodos. Původní špitální zaměření společenství bylo z důvodu ochrany poutníků a jiných osob proti Turkům rozšířeno i na zaměření vojenské. Svůj současný název řád odvozuje od ostrova Malty, na kterém sídlil až do obsazení ostrova Napoleonem v roce 1798.V současné době je sídlo řádu v Římě. Během tohoto dějinného vývoje se vyvíjela suverenita řádu, která byla uznávaná většinou civilizovaného světa, a to bez ohledu na to, zda řád držel nějaká území či nikoliv. V současné době je nadále řád považován za suverénní. Je sice autonomní součástí katolické církve, ale bez ohledu na...
