History of the Cistercian Monastery in Zbraslav till the hussite revolution
Šulc, Jan ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
The Bachelor thesis focuses on the beginnings of the Cistercian monastery in Zbraslav, its boom and its importance right after the monastery was founded by the Czech and Polish king Wenceslas II until the plundering by the Hussites. Author of the thesis starts with a brief history of the place in the context of the time before the founding of the monastery. The first written reference to Zbraslav is in the founding charter of the Kladruby monastery from 1115. In this year prince Vladislav I gave a place called Zbraslav to the Benedictine monastery in Western Bohemia, together with other estates on the confluence of the Vltava and Mže rivers. It is quite possible that this decision signalled later choice of Zbraslav of the king Wenceslas II for establishing one of the most powerful and eminent Cistercian monasteries in the Czech lands in the time of the last kings from the House of Přemysl. Zbraslav's abbot and the well-known chronicler Petr Žitavský calls it a disposition of God. The king chose Zbraslav as a burial place for the whole royal family and for this purpose a magnificent convent Virgin Mary church was built on the grounds of the monastery, the most monumental sacral structure of its time in the Czech lands. The thesis engages in the development of this significant Marian sanctuary and...

Frdlíková, Markéta ; Šmied, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kuthan, Jiří (referee)
Contribution to the origin and temporary state of the former monastery in Pivoň Abstract This Thesis is contributing to the issue of establishment of former Pivon Monastery,belonging to the Order of st. Augustin between years 1266-1787. Its' origin is a bit older, probably connected with Wilhelmite order, but there still remains a possibility of another, unknown founder. To this topic exist many relevant articles, the same as architectonical surveys but without any strict solution. The oldest visible architectonic parts survived till our days in presbytery of the monastic Church of Annunciation. In the time of writing this Thesis is the area of former monastery put up for auction and its' state is unfavourible, due to the sequences of events in 20th century and unfinished renovation from previous decade. That's why is this Thesis also focused on the poor state of properties of the Monastery area and church and is trying to figure out at least theoretical solution to current situation from the view of monument care.

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....

The monastery in Žďár nad Sázavou in the first > years after its renewal (1676-1705)
Schutová, Martina ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Charvátová, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis deals with the history of the Cistercian monastery of Žďár nad Sázavou in the second half of the 17th century, specifically from 1676 till 1705. In 1676, after almost four decades since the Cistercian Order had regained control of the seigniory in Žďár and the convent had been re-established, the monks were allowed to elect their own Abbot. Benedikt Zaunmüller, the prior of the monastery of Vyšší Brod, was elected and remained Abbot of Žďár till 1691 when he was forced to resign on health grounds. He was succeeded by Edmund Bagner, the first of the Abbots of the re-established monastery who was elected from the members of the Žďár convent and remained in office till his death in 1705. The scope of this thesis corresponds with the terms of office of these two Abbots who significantly contributed to the improvement in the economic situation of the monastery and the expansion of the personnel of the convent in Žďár and who are indisputably among the significant personalities of the Žďár Abbey. The outset of the thesis provides an overview of the available archival sources and existing literature on the topic. The first chapter outlines the history of the Žďár monastery from its establishment in the middle of the 13th century. The second chapter captures the transformation of the...

The History of the Cistercian monastery in Žďár nad Sázavou from the middle of 14th century to 1520
Severová, Klára ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee)
The History of the Cistercian monastery in Žďár nad Sázavou from the middle of 14th century to 1520 Abstract This diploma thesis thematically continues my bachelor thesis The Beginnings of the Cistercian Monastery in Žďár nad Sázavou written and defended at this Faculty in 2010/2011. It focuses on the historical development of the Cistercian monastery in Žďár nad Sázavou from the middle of the 14th century to 1520. The history of the monastery reflects political and religious circumstances at that time: the accession of the Luxembourg dynasty to the Bohemian throne, the rise and flourishing of the country during the reign of Charles IV and the decline of the country connected with the reign of Wenceslas IV which resulted in the Hussite revolution and the religious and political crisis and instability in Bohemia. All that left its mark also on the destiny of the monastery. The internal situation of the Žďár monastery in this period was especially influenced by frequent changes in exercising founders' rights. After the last member of the Lords of Obřany died in 1312 the first to take over the role of the founders was the Lichtenburk family and their relatives, the Lords of Ronov and Bítov. Around the middle of the 14th century the monarch's influence grew as well as the influence of the Margraviate of...
