Local and National Identity in Historical Monographs on Bohemian, Moravian and Galician Towns (1860-1900)
Ira, Jaroslav ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Štaif, Jiří (referee) ; Řezník, Miloš (referee)
The dissertation thesis deals with urban historical monographs that were published in 1860-1900 in Czech, German, and Polish language, and covered towns in Bohemia, Moravia, and Galicia. Adopting a broadly comparative perspective, the study focuses on the social dimension of the books through the lens of local and national identities. It presupposes that the urban histories essentially created local identities but at the same time makes a hypothesis that nationalization of society in the 19th century had significant impact on local urban history. The first chapter shows that the urban historiography in each of the regional-language spheres developed unevenly. One of the reasons was the different significance of towns and urban past in national thoughts. The following chapter analyses urban monographs as books. It poses questions about who wrote urban histories, with what intentions, and for what readership. It reveals that the books had essentially two roles: they served local purposes and at the same time they were integrated in the national programme The two remaining chapters deal with the analysis of historical representations. The fourth chapter compares urban histories with regard to periodization of urban past. It confirms that the national historical frame significantly influenced the ways...

The regional differences in mortality in Bohemia in 1881
Sykáčková, Petra ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Kurtinová, Olga (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze mortality in Bohemia according to regions in 1881 and to find possible differences of the mortality level. The analysis of mortality is based on results of abridged life tables computed for both sexes within ten regions defined to approximately correspond to nowadays regions. Results of infant mortality and standardized crude death rate were used as well. The explanation of differences in the level of mortality is based on current economic and social situation of 1881 within each area. These areas were significantly different from each other. The 1881 belongs to the first phase of the demographic transition, in which mortality was not marked by high volatility anymore, but at the same time the level of mortality was not significantly reduced. The first phase of the industrial revolution was already completed, that affected also other aspects of human life and these aspects influenced the level of mortality.

Pařízková, Kateřina ; Holá, Mlada (advisor) ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee)
To the coronations which took place in Pre-White time, not enough attention has been paid yet. As it appears, enough accounts were preserved not only in contemporary prints but also in manuscript sources - in the works of chroniclers, in memories of persons present and above all in official and private correspondence. In addition to writen sources also material sorces and great part of iconographic sources have been preserved. The elaboration and evaluation of the sources to one of them, to the coronation of Matthias of Habsburg in Prague on May 23rd 1611, is a subject of the first half of this thesis. The coronation in the life of souvereign is a ceremony that generally certificates his leading position in the country. This ceremony customary is executed in accordance to the prede- terminated order. In case of the lands of Bohemian crown binding form has been set by coronation order of Bohemian kings Ordo ad coronandum Regem Bohemorum, prepared by Charles IV. The main core of this order was maintained also by Matthias coronation. His coronation in the cathedrale of Saint Vitus was a festive ceremony strongly influenced by then political situation. It placed under the strong protection of troops, excluding the general public, mostly ordinary people. Despite of it the ceromony was performed with...

Součková, Ema ; Kubík, Viktor (advisor) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)

Another goal of this work is a summarization of the decor of Oldtown's gradual and elaborated analysis of its illuminations. Oldtown's gradual is one of the best Renaissance manuscripts. The penman was Jan Taborsky of Klokotska Hora; chapter 2.1. deals with his life and production. Matous Ornys of Lindperk was the limner; chapter 2.2. deals with his work. Indisputably, he belongs to the best limners of the 16th century. The decor of the gradual is described in the chapter 4.2. Illuminations of gradual have conventional scheme of choral manuscripts. A lot of analogies are to be found in the medieval and also Renaissance manuscripts. There are elements of medieval literary paintwork, but also fully Renaissance elements: perfect linear perspective and high-quality scenery. Oldtown's gradual is one of the most beautiful and one of the...
