Territorial church administration in Litomyšl-dioceses on the example of chosen deaneries (half of 14th century - 1st half of 16th century)
Boštík, Vojtěch ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Večeře, Vojtěch (referee)
The bachelor's thesis summarizes the existing knowledge about the foundation and administrative organization of the diocese of Litomyšl (since 1344). It summarizes source references and reports in the literature on individual benefice in the form of tabular appendices. In addition to regional and art- historical literature, the thesis will use the official books of the diocese of Prague and documentary material related to the diocese of Litomyšl. It takes into account the sources of the Olomouc diocese if they relate to the diocese of Litomyšl. Due to the scope of the diocese and the impossibility of processing it all, the deaneries of Vysoké Mýto and Polička will be processed, which are assumed to have the most favorable source base. The main goal of the thesis is to answer the question of whether the church administration in the diocese of Litomyšl functioned similarly to the one in Prague, where the source situation is far more favorable. At the same time, the aim of the thesis is to find out whether it is possible to reconstruct the church territorial administration of the Litomyšl diocese under the given source situation and to bring methodological suggestions to this issue.

Litomyšl of Albert from Šternberk
Večeře, Vojtěch ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Hledíková, Zdenka (referee)
The medieval study Litomyšl of Albert from Šternberk is a fusion of two historiographical methods. Regionally-historical and biographical. These methods lead to the unusual view of this issue, which had already been established in literature. This paper focuses mainly on the history of bishopric in Litomyšl and its center (town and domain). The author tries to look at this topic through Albert from Šternberk, who was an important imperial prelate-diplomat and also a bishop of Litomyšl during years 1364-1368 and 1371-1380. In order to maintain a complexity of this topic, it is essential to focus on both Alberts live and genesis of young Litomyšl diocese. For this reason the first part of the study is an analysis of emergence and formation of bishopric in Litomyšl, which is followed by a comprehensive study of Albert's political live. Than, the author gets to the very issue of the relationship between the monitored prelate and his Litomyšl dioceses and he tries to look at this relationship from several different perspectives. The reason for using this approach is an effort to speak out against the persistent view, that Litomyšl bishops in the era of Karl IV. (mostly high-ranking politicans and officials) were just "titular" prelates without self-interest in the management of the bishopric. Through...

Sermons of Jindřich from Vildštejn in Litomyšl
Večeře, Vojtěch ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Soukup, Pavel (referee)
This thesis Sermons of Jindřich from Vildštejn in Litomyšl deals with the preaching work of the cleric Jindřich of Vildštejn, which is preserved in the manuscript of the Bavarian State Library in Munich (BSB, Clm 14256). In order to describe and evaluate this handwritten collection, the author chooses only a small probe (three of the total of thirteen preachers), in which in various ways he shows the form, context and socio-communicative purpose of the late medieval sermon. These three sermons were held in Litomyšl (1376 and 1378). Two of them are Eucharistic sermons and one is funeral speech on the occasion of the funeral of Charles IV. At the beginning of the whole work, the reader is introduced with the life of the historical personality of Jindřich of Vildštejn who was a member of the Minority Order and who held several episcopal offices throughout his life. In the second part, the author presents a description and classification of selected preaching texts. The third part of the thesis is an interpretative study in which the author tries to elucidate the contemporary communication significance of one important phenomenon of medieval preaching manuscripts such as the abundant use of quotes from the Bible and the authorities. At the very end of the work, the critical edition of three sermons...
