Historical anthropology of dreams
Jirsová, Kateřina ; Horský, Jan (advisor) ; Zaoral, Roman (referee)
An unconventional theoretical study of dreams, this master's thesis aims to approach dreams from the perspective of historical anthropology, with a special emphasis on the Middle Ages. It analyses various theories of dreams from Antiquity to the Enlightenment, considering also the psychoanalytic approach, or (if you like) 20th century analytical psychology, and it is particularly concerned with the medieval notion of dreams and visions, with a special emphasis on the analysis of prophetic dreams of Jan of Jenštejn, the Prague archbishop in the end of the 14th century.

Selected Aspects of Testamentary Praxis in the Late Middle Ages
Veselý, Martin ; Zaoral, Roman (advisor) ; Malý, Tomáš (referee)
This work is divided into four chapters. The first chapter covers with the ways leading to the salvation of the soul. Especially with the question of the dogma of purgatory and the ways, how can - according to Thomas Stitny - the quick help to compress the torture of the dead sinners in purgatory. The issue of the second chapter is a quantitative analysis of the pious legacies pecuniary as well as non-pecuniary. The fundamental research questions are: Which charitable institutions were gifted the most frequently? How large number and volume of legacies was intended for them? How differed the structure of male and female pious legacies? Which changes in the type and the volume of the pious legacies occurred during the followed period and what were the main causes of them? In the third chapter I am analyzing all the non-pecuniary legacies and ask myself the question to which extent are in their structure reflected gender and socio-economic differences among the testators. In the fourth chapter I reenact the geographical horizon of the testators. My aim is to verify an assumption that the size of the geographical horizon of the burghers is directly proportional to the total importance of the town in question.

Bologna Pattern of the Mediaval University and his Reflection on the Prague Legal University
Pinc, Benedikt ; Sokol, Jan (advisor) ; Zaoral, Roman (referee)
Tématem bakalářské práce je vznik a podoba bolognské univerzity ve středověku a její vliv na pražskou univerzitu, konkrétně pražskou právnickou univerzitu, která existovala mezi roky 1378 a 1419. K tématu mne přivedla kniha Harolda J. Bermana, Law and Revolution (Harvard university press), jejíž část jsem překládal v rámci skeletového překladu. Tato kniha se zabývá revolučními změnami vrcholného středověku, zvláště pak vznikem moderního právního systému, který podle Bermana vzniká právě v tuto dobu a právě na bolognské univerzitě.
