Coronation of images of Virgin Mary in Central Europe in 17th - 18th century
Vrabelová, Dana ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Kořán, Ivo (referee) ; Buben, Milan (referee)
1 Summary The thesis, Imago gratiosa - Crowned Madonnas in Central Europe in the Baroque Period presents original research results primarily focused on the Madonne Coronate collection in the Archivio Capitolo di San Pietro at the Vatican Library, which was realised as part of Charles University grant project no. 356911 Coronation of Merciful Marian Imagos in Central Europe in the 17th and 18th Century. To become merciful (imago gratiosa) or miraculous (imago miraculosa) a Marian imago must demonstrate divine mercy (save lives during a disaster, cause miraculous recovery from illness, conception, etc.). The greatest expression of veneration and devotion to a merciful or miraculous imago or statue of the Virgin Mary is its coronation. The theological basis of this liturgical ceremony is the coronation of the Virgin Mary on her assumption to heaven. On earth, the Virgin Mary was crowned with imitations of the crowns of worldly monarchs and her crowned imago placed on a royal throne or altar, usually made especially for this occasion for greater honour and glory. This was always the exquisite work of goldsmiths and silversmiths, which if not preserved until today, we can see in numerous manuscripts, prints and engravings specially published to mark the coronation. The nature of the coronation ceremony developed...

The medieval architecture of the Mendicant orders in Silesia
Jarošová, Markéta ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee) ; Kořán, Ivo (referee)
The subject of this dissertation thesis is medieval architecture of mendicant orders in Silesia and focuses on convent churches of the Minorites and Dominicans. The chosen subject has not been hitherto treated in detail in specialized literature neither in Polish, German or Czech art history. Mendicant orders in Silesia are studied especially by historians who research into medieval history of these orders and, above all, the formation and development of order provinces. The focal points of the thesis research concern preserved buildings of mendicants orders built in the period between the 13th and 14th centuries. Every individual building is presented as a monograph in the form of an extended catalogue entry. The catalogue of medieval buildings of mendicant orders is the crucial part of this dissertation thesis. In this list, individual buildings are divided according to orders. First, we mention history of individual medieval towns and history of particular convent complexes. Further, we focus on the location of mendicant buildings within medieval urbanism of towns. Next, the formal analysis of each building follows defining the most important phases in building the convents, especially the medieval stage of building. Each entry contains an evaluation of cultural and historical importance of a...
