The Apostolic Nuncios in Prague during the first years of the reign of Rudolf II. and their importance for the society of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (1578-1594)
Banďouch, Pavel ; Mikulec, Jiří (advisor) ; Knoz, Tomáš (referee) ; Černušák, Tomáš (referee)
The dissertation deals with the work of apostolic nuncios at the court of Rudolf II in the years 1578-1594. It focuses mainly on the real influence of the nuncios in this context, their demands and their mentality. After presenting the state of research to date and the motivation for the choice of the topic, the biographies of the individual nuncios are first presented, with particular reference specifically to their mission at Rudolph's court. The main source for the treatment was the correspondence between Rome and the individual nuncios. These activities of the nuncios are then presented in the context of the development of the Catholic Church, especially with regard to the evolving understanding of the papal office and the concept of Christianity as a religion. The countries of the Bohemian Crown had a specific position in this respect, since after the Hussite Wars, two religious parties/confessions coexisted in them: under both and under one. Compared to the rest of Europe, therefore, a sometimes more, sometimes less peaceful religious coexistence developed there after a period of conflict.

Girolamo Savonarola - the man at the turn of the ages
Banďouch, Pavel ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Picková, Dana (referee)
The presented thesis deals with issues related to the life and activities of Girolamo Savonarola. Main attention is paid to the second half of the 15th century. However, these times are not perceived and considered as a closed period of time, but in the context of the historical development of individual themes. Particular attention is paid mainly to the political situation in Florence, and subsequently in Italy, since the so-called peace in Lodi up to the coronation of Charles V. in Bologna; to the creation of papal monarchy after the Council of Constance; to the construction of the Papal State; to the reform of the Order of Preachers and to the phenomenon of prophecy in Renaissance. The key aim is to demonstrate that, despite the original elements in Savonarola's thinking and his opinions, there can be traced certain continuity with both preceding and upcoming processes and fates to the main events of his tenure and his deeds. Keywords Savonarola, renaissance, prophecy, Papal state
