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...

Preaching Style of Jaroslav Pleva
Kucová, Hana ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor) ; Holanová, Radka (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with distinctiveness in the style of preaching of Jaroslav Pleva, a Baptist preacher, on the basis of analysis of his preaching. This distinctiveness is realized through his use of language and style devices, and text structure. The final form of the discourse is influenced by its function and objective style factors. What mainly determines the structure of Pleva's texts to a considerable extent is a spoken form of the discourse. His code choice switching between standard and non-standard code, the official character of the discourse and its place and time given by the tradition are all very important; moreover, it is the addressee who represents the crucial factor of the preaching. The analysis of subjective style factors is also included. Intertextuality is typical for the genre of preaching, primarily following the biblical texts of the Old and New Testament. According to the variety of texts the motifs are diverse. Figurative speech, mostly originated in biblical texts, is used plentifully. Pleva uses these intentionally chosen devices to present his thoughts to his listeners and fulfil a persuasive function of a genre of preaching.

Charles University in Prague, Catholic Theological Faculty Thesis, Prague 2013 ABSTRACT Ecclesiology of Tomáš Bavorovský († 1562) Jaroslav Havrlant Catholic preacher Tomáš Bavorovský (Thomas of Bavorov) is still a quite unknown personality of Bohemian renaissance. He is the representative of the Church loyal to the Pope in Rome shortly before the end of the Trident council and the arrival of Jesuits to Prague. The result of my study aimed at his ecclesiological approach is my thesis, which contains five chapters. The first three chapters are concerned with common historical facts of his time as well as with life and work of the preacher. The others focus on his interpretation of the Church and the Kingdom of God. The first chapter describes specific situation of Bohemian reformation, which was different from the neighboring countries because of its Hussite tradition and Utraquistic Church. Tomáš Bavorovský worked mostly in Catholic south and west Bohemian towns (Bavorov, Český Krumlov, Jindřichův Hradec, Plzeň). Therefore I describe in short also their religious history in this chapter. The part concerning the personality of the preacher starts with describing him as a writer. In chronological sequences it presents the writers who have written about him. Even though Tomáš Bavorovský was quite famous author...

Svobodová, Andrea ; Dittmann, Robert (advisor) ; Kosek, Pavel (referee) ; Komárek, Karel (referee)
Mgr. Andrea Svobodová Komplexní studium Rukopisu dzikovského se zam ením na grafickou, jazykovou a textovou analýzu eské sbírky kázání A Comprehensive Study of The Dzikowian Manuscript Focusing on a Graphic, Language and Textual Analysis of the Czech Postil Abstract The thesis submits a comprehensive philological analysis of the Dzikowian Manuscript, an insufficiently explored late medieval manuscript containing two postils, de tempore in Latin and de sanctis in Old Czech. The thesis aims to specify the place of this work in the context of medieval preaching, to critically review the previous research and to find new paths of research in evaluating this work. It is divided into three chapters, their common topic being attribution of both the postils on the grounds of codicological, content, and especially language features. Special emphasis is put on description of non-standard language phenomena, their interpretation being a key factor for transcription rules (one of the main results achieved apart from precising probable dating and localisation is a complete transcription of the Old Czech postil). The phenomena described enrich the existing inventory of deviations from the standard language and call for relating to other sources traditionally categorised as dialectal and thus for elaborating diachronic...

Baroque text and diachronic corpus
FORSZTÁKOVÁ, Jana
The subject of this bachelor thesis is related to the transcribed versions of the two sermons by the baroque author Ondřej František Jakub de Waldt. The theoretical section describes the individual stages of the Baroque period and their distinguishing features. The following part deals specifically with the baroque literature and the famous literary figures of that time who contributed to exploring the Baroque period. The last chapter of the theoretical section looks into particular editors and their editions, more specifically into their means of transcribing a text. The practical section analyses two sermons Na Den Nového léta and Na Den Hromnic written by de Waldt. At first, the thesis explores the phonetic and grammar aspects of the sermons. Afterwards, the two sermons are analyzed in terms of used lexis. More specifically, this part of the thesis deals with lexical words used in the Baroque period and lexical loan words. Next, the analysis of the figurative and rhetorical means used in both sermons is presented. The last chapter of the practical part discusses the selected Saints to whom Waldt refers in his sermons.
