Perception of space in Czech travel writing of the 15th century
Bažant, Vojtěch ; Nejedlý, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Pavel (referee)
The theses analyses ways of literary representations of perception of space in Czech 15th century travel narratives. With special regard to the genre classification of the travel narratives, this study covers a part of travellers' mentalities in the Late Middle Ages. The concept of perception of space represents the ways of viewing the surrounding world. It helps to understand how travellers confronted social stereotypes with their own experiences. The thesis highlights how relations between natural foundations of the Earth and human thought are construed and shows that both bear the same importance for the shaping of the narration.

Linguistic analysis of German Pericopes in a manuscript of the beginning of 15th century from České Budějovice
ŽŮRKOVÁ, Kristýna
The present thesis analyzes the special group of verbs occurring in the German liturgical text that was written down in the Dominican monastery in České Budějovice. The first part provides information on the Dominican monastery in České Budějovice and the manuscript itself. It is followed by the editorial process of the manuscript. The main part focuses on the analysis of these groups of verbs: Präteritopräsentien, Wurzelverben, kontrahierte Verben and a verb wollen and werden. Attention is also paid to the dialect features of the text since the manuscript was affected by the Bavarian dialect as demonstrated and proved by the analysis of the verb forms.

The mural painting in the castle of Žirovnice
SEVEROVÁ, Markéta
The murals inside the Žirovnice chateau are considered to be some of the most interesting and extensive works of art of the 15th century. Thanks to them, the owner at the time, mining mogul Vencelík z Vrchovišť from Kutná Hora, became part of the same class as his highborn neighbours of the South Bohemian aristocracy. The excellent artist commissioned to create the work has hitherto been referred to in art history literature as the Master of the Žirovnice Murals. The artwork inside the Jindřichův Hradec chateau is also linked to this author, and certain analogies are also present in the murals in the Švihov castle. Thanks to the origin of the submitter of this original medeival work, the Smíškovská chapel in Church of St. Barbora in Kutná Hora is also often referred to when speaking of the Žirovnice murals. Within the Žirovnice chateau, the artwork in the so-called Green Room is very well preserved to this day. This is considered to be a consistent type of secular interior of the late Gothic period, and is thus viewed as the most pronounced material manifestation of the mentality of Czech post-Hussite aristocracy. Some of the earliest so-called Green Rooms can be found in the Blatná chateau and the Zvíkov castle.
