The illuminated manuscripts for Albertus de Sternberg and their circle
Gaudek, Tomáš ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The text disserts upon the iluminated manuscripts of the 14th century. The main interest is focused on the codices group of an illuminator generally refered to as the Master of Sternberg manuscripts. Possibly the oldest of them might be the Graduale for the monastery of Augustinian Hermits in Ročov (SOkA Louny, I G 7). This manuscript, unfortunately not completed, was ordered by Albertus de Kolowrat. Yet the most important offer came to the illuminator from Albertus de Sternberg, the Bishop of Litomyšl, for whom the Liber pontificalis (Prague, Library of Strahov Abbey, DG I 19) and the Bible (Kraków, Biblioteka Jagiellonska, 284/I a II) were created. This illuminator's ouvre is certainly one of the first-rate artistic enterprises among manuscript illumination of the time. The Old Testament from the Library of Prague National Museum ( KNM XV B 4) is sometimes also associated with the Master of Sternberg manuscripts and considered his oldest work. Nevertheless, as this thesis aims to show, this codex belongs among a different, already defined manuscript group. Another part of this thesis is devoted to the Master od Sadská Bible, who has often been considered a pupil of the Master of Sternberg manuscripts. An analysis of his ouvre and its comparison to some of the other manuscripts of the time lead towards...

Roudnice necrologium from 1457–1464 in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň
Dragoun, Michal ; Gaudek, Tomáš
The necrologium of the Roudnice canonry from 1457–1464, deposited in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň, collection Velkostatek (Manor) Třeboň, registratura IA 3K β 28e, is an important source, which has required a description, basic evaluation and edition. Its text was written in one hand and in several details complements the data of the extensive Roudnice necrologium (1333–1516) in the manuscript of the National Library of the Czech Republic XIX B 3. On the appearance of the altar of St Nicholas (Mikuláš) in the church in Roudnice, it adds that it was furnished with statues, and manuscript NK ČR VII C 23 connects it with the specific donation of the parish priest of Libochovice Jan. The necrologium then provides new data on the life of the widow of Jan Smiřický and on the life of their son Václav. The geographical distribution of the records of the necrologium is not wide and unlike the Prague manuscript confraternities are completely neglected. The striking number of women in the data of the necrologium, which is in accord also with other sources (the necrologium of the monastery of the Český Krumlov Friars Minor and Poor Clares), can be evaluated only after thorough study of the Prague manuscript, but the Třeboň necrologium confirms that the Roudnice canonry was not a forgotten institution even after the Hussite storms, it was respected and supported in Roudnice and its environs and its end was rather caused by the repeated war events under the reign of George of Poděbrady than disinterest in its activity.

Illuminated Manuscripts from the Monastery of Augustinian Canons in Roudnice nad Labem from the Second Third of the 14th Century
Gaudek, Tomáš ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (referee) ; Studničková, Milada (referee)
The house of canons regular in Roudnice nad Labem was founded 1333 by John IV of Dražice after his return from Avignon. It was a very important and richly supported monastery, which is demonstrated besides other things by the younger fragment of necrologium, dated 1458-1464 (State Regional Archive in Třeboň, fond Velkostatek Třeboň, registratura IA 3K β 28e). The thesis deals with the Bohemian illuminated manuscripts from the 2nd third of the 14th century from the library from Roudnice, which is quite unique between all the Bohemian houses of regular canons for the high percentage of illuminated manuscripts. The Missale of John of Dražice ( KNM XIII B 9) is an excellent example of some high quality manuscript in the time around 1340 in Bohemia. The ornamental initials show parallels to the recent Western European style. One of them, VD initial on the folio 57r, is filled by the coat-of-arms of the Dražice family, gold wine sprig with three leafs in the red field. But the most interesting is the canon leaf (65r), a classical representative of Central European linear style. The leaf was glued to its place. The same praxis we see in the slightly younger Missale of Chotěšov Monastery (NK XIV C 3). The canon leaf from Chotěšov (185v) is more delicate in its colors and forms, distinctly knowledgeable of...
