One thousand and fifty years of the Bishopric of Prague
Kotous, J. ; Sommer, Petr ; Vaníček, V.
The book is dedicated to the 1050th anniversary of the foundation of the Prague bishopric. The first block of studies places the topic of the first Czech diocese in the Central European context of the Carolingian and Ottonian empires, the related ecclesiastical institutions and the Christianization processes in their individual parts, e.g. among the Polabian Slavs. The second block of texts traces the processes leading to the building of the foundations of the Bohemian diocese, its establishment and its continuity with the Great Moravian ecclesiastical beginnings. Equally important are the probes tracing the process of Christianization of Czech society, the relationship between the Prague bishops and the Czech ruler, and the emergence of church organization. The book concludes with studies tracing the Czech and Moravian bishoprics at the turning points of the Hussite and Reformation periods, the Recatholization and the reforms of Joseph II.

Frolík, Jan ; Drtikolová Kaupová, S. ; Stránská, P. ; Světlík, Ivo ; Velemínský, P.
The sister of Prince Boleslav II Princess Mlada is among the persons associated with the beginning of the Prague bishopric. As the founder of the monastery of St. George was worshiped in it. The place of her burial was forgotten and searched for since the Baroque period. In this context, attention is paid to the graves JK-102 and JK-110 in the chapel of St. Anne in the monastery and also to the relics taken from this chapel in the 17th century. Grave JK-110 was newly dated to around the year 1000.

Prague – Olomouc. Settlement potential and the establishment of the bishopric
Maříková-Kubková, Jana ; Šlézar, P. ; Dehnerová, H.
After comparing the bishops’ seats in Prague and Olomouc, we have concluded that despite seeming very different at first glance, both are archaeologically quite similar. Both are structured hills close to a river with suitable space for agriculture and with evidence of manufacturing sites. In their overall structure, there is a clear elevated settlement with a cult site, in both cases linked to a necropolis. In Prague, settlement and manufacturing activities centre on the western part of the Hradčany promontory, in Olomouc on the Petrské and Václavské hills.
