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...

The group of late-romanesque churches in north-western Bohemia
Kostrounová, Tereza ; Kuthan, Jiří (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines a group of late Romanesque churches, most of which are to be found in north-western Bohemia. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part I survey the most important literature on the subject, and analyse the appearance of the individual churches in terms of their material, ground plan, the division of the walls into sections by means of relief features, portals, windows, tribunes, vaults, and architectural members. I also consider the artistic influences that had an impact on the shaping of the churches. The second part of the thesis consists of a catalogue of the individual churches. For each church I provide a detailed description and a reconstruction of its original appearance. I also attempt to describe the circumstances surrounding the construction of the church. A series of illustrations is attached to the thesis as an appendix.
