Šitinová, Ivana ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Chodějovská, Eva (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with travel records of the priest Matthias Stanislaus Heitzmann from Polná, which he wrote up after his pilgrim's journey to Rome in 1659. These notes form part of a manuscript deposited in the State District Archive in Jihlava in the collection of the Dean's Office Polná. The notes are written predominantly in Latin, but partly also in German and Italian. They include descriptions of sacral buildings, enumerations of holy remains deposited there and descriptions of miraculous effects of various preparations and miraculous crosses. A significant part of the notes are moral stories that the author heard during his pilgrimage. The objective of the thesis is to comment on the entire text, to evaluate it as a historical source and to analyze a relationship between the author and his work.
