Czech epigraphy. The current state and outlook of an (not only) auxiliary historical science
Roháček, Jiří
The summary of problems facing Czech epigraphy and their influence on the status and future prospects of this field. The paper focuses primarily on Czech epigraphers, epigraphic institutions and methodology in the Czech Republic, assessing the actual and potential demand for epigraphic findings. The author also considers how this demand can be influenced to the benefit of all parties, including a general comparison with the situation in other countries.

Epigraphica & Sepulcralia V. Forum of epigraphical and sepulchral studies
Roháček, Jiří
A further volume in the series Epigraphica et Sepulcralia, with a concept as a periodical forum for epigraphic and sepulchral studies, and the aim of mapping out the current state of research in two disciplines that are in practice closely linked – sepulchral research and mediaeval and early modern epigraphy. It is intended that individual issues will deliberately include articles with various chronological, thematic, disciplinary, and methodological approaches, and contributions by leading Czech and international researchers together with a selection of high-quality articles by researchers from the rising generation. In the current publication, therefore, in addition to the proceedings from the tenth meeting zasedání Longius aut propius, mors sua quemque manet held in Prague on 31 October – 2 November 2012, further complementary articles are to be found as outlined above.

Regional natural history periodicals and their importance for the knowledge of the Czech epigraphic fund
Roháček, Jiří
Regional history periodicals are of a great importance for epigraphic studies of larger than regional scale. This is due to the specific character of epigraphic sources and their connection to works of art and artefacts of material culture. The fact is of a great interpretation value, on the other hand it predeterminates extremely difficult physical availability. Physical availability along with difficult restitution of inscriptions, which are often damaged, rarely enables fieldwork of a larger range and demands to work with various types of secondary approach to inscriptions. Regional periodicals represent a source of a great importance, a lot of material can be found in essays, which are primarily of a „non-epigraphic“ character. After being made properly accessible in bibliographical and other aspects, these essays can contribute with valuable tiles into the Mosaic of secondary sources for epigraphic studies of a larger than regional scale. These essays would be even more fruitful if at least basic editorial principles were followed.

National languages into territorially Czech sepulchral inscriptions
Roháček, Jiří
Analysis of the penetration of national languages into territorially Czech medieval and modern sepulchral inscriptions. The surprise is particularly small share of the German language between the Latin inscriptions and Czech inscriptions and their relatively late arrival in the ethnically German areas. Special features can be found in the inscription form and preferences of the script. Other languages are found only marginally.

Epigraphica & Sepulcralia III. Proceedings from conferences devoted to the question of sepulcral monuments, organised by the Institute of Art History of the AS CR from 2008 to 2010
Roháček, Jiří
The publication includes a total of 33 papers presented at the 7th, 8th and 9th consultations. All the contributions are accompanied by a summary in German and extensive illustrations. Periodical international conferences on issues relating to sepulchral monuments have been held by the Institute of Art History, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, since the year 2000. Their main aim is to facilitate contact between interested representatives of all disciplines and fields of study that are related to the subject (art history, general history, auxiliary historical disciplines, archaeology, monument conservation, museology, restoration practice, petrography, etc.) in order to promote greater interdisciplinarity and coordination of previously unconnected research. The common denominator is a factual or methodical connection to Central European material and a primary factual or contextual focus on material sepulchral monuments in the restricted interpretation of the term.
