Želiv, Monastery in the Foothills of Vysočina. Its Property and History of Settlement until Mid 14th Century
Bolerazká, Zuzana ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
Želiv, formerly the convent of Benedictines, was transformed into a Premonstratensians monastery (around 1149). Its beginnings were complicated. It took a long time to stabilize its existence and consolidate its property. The monastery has been located in deep forests of the western foothills of Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The location at the border of Bohemia and Moravia was ideal for colonization. Well preserved historical sources on this topic enable us to research the main phases of its economic development and describe it in the context of the period. The role of Želiv clergy in the uncovering of mining localities in Jihlava and Humpolec areas is also interesting but not well researched. The monastery in Želiv as such was rebuilt several times which would be impossible without a strong property base and a good management. The objective of this thesis is to describe and evaluate the management of the Želiv monastery as well. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Cistercian and Benedictine Sign Language in the Middle Ages
Těšínská Lomičková, Radka ; Kuthan, Jiří (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
Radka Těšínská Lomičková: Cistercian and Benedictine Sign Language in the Middle Age Sign language is an important communication phenomenon that has existed for a thousand years. In medieval monasteries signs were used to enable simple communication of messages when rules of silence forbade monks from speaking. This thesis concentrates on a study of sign language communication in Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries during the Middle Ages. In doing so it describes the history of sign language in Europe between the 10th and 15th centuries. Furthermore it shows that sign language was not only used in the center of the order but in the Czech Republic as well. This thesis provides a detailed discussion of sign lexicons which are similar to a monolingual dictionary and are the basic and central source of information about each language. Lexicons contain words and short descriptions of how to make each hand sign. A careful analysis of one particular sign lexicon, called Siquis (which was used in Central Europe in the 15th century), reveals new information about daily life in medieval monasteries. The primary focus of the Siquis lexicon was liturgy, food and drink, utensils, persons, and activities. This thesis concentrates on both singular words and on the description of the signs in the lexicons....

To create the most valuable design, values and conflicts were established in the region as well as opportunities and risks. After a stay in the monastery, author got to know monks everyday life and gained a more complete overview of the demands and needs of the Benedictines on the premises. The aim is to create a harmonious functioning self-sustaining space, filled with features and variability. The space in which monks will be able to spend the time praying and working while visitors will relax and open their souls. The combination of material and spiritual world reaches its peak here. The design respects genius loci eminently, in the areas where it was kept. In places where their identity was changed by inappropriate intervention, the author tries to bring back or restore original values. Analysis confirmed the uniqueness of the place and its importance. The design then works with synchronization and harmonization of content in space and their overall interconnection and harmony. Several very different areas conceal number of quite varying potentials and contents. Thus, the same amount of different approaches to the solution. Historical values and compositional elements are maintained and respected. A major theme is the restoration of the original Santini's entry, which completely changes visitor's perception of the space. The place full of meditation, prayer, relaxation, peace and tranquility will certainly find its place in today's stress-filled time.
