Petrification of military memory versus piety: Military monuments and mass graves in their historical operation
Kessler, Vojtěch
The text deals with the reception of military monuments, found on the territory of the Czech Republic, which are related to the war events from 1757 to 1866. The memorials can be understood as specific memory locations, whose so-called second life modifies the historical awareness of the relevant military events. War memorials constitute a relatively wide range: from the purely military, celebratory monuments, which are found mostly on elevated dominant locations of battlefields, to reverential memorials with graves or even mass graves.

Roháček, Jiří
A sixth volume in the series Epigraphica et Sepulcralia, with a concept as a periodical forum for epigraphic and sepulchral studies, and the aim of mapping out the current state of research in two disciplines that are in practice closely linked – sepulchral research and mediaeval and early modern epigraphy. It is intended that individual issues include deliberately articles with various chronological, thematic, disciplinary, and methodological approaches, and contributions by leading Czech and international researchers together with a selection of high-quality articles by researchers from the rising generation. In the current publication, therefore, in addition to the proceedings from the 12th and 13th international session on the issue of sepulchral monuments in 2012 and 2013, further complementary articles are to be found as outlined above.

Glass tombstone by Marian Karel
Nešlehová, Mahulena
The tombstone of Jitka Stecherová (1972-2005), implemented in 2005 and located at the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague in Vinohrady, is an interesting, non-traditional conception. The author is a leading, internationally recognized Czech fine artist, Marian Karel (1944), who in his geometrically focused work uses sheet glass as a means for a sculpturally and architecturally striking, reflexive activity of the light modulated by space-shaping objects.

Mathey delineavit. The tombstone of Count Humprecht Jan Černín of Chudenice in light of the written sources (1683–1688)
Vácha, Štěpán
The tombstone of Count Humprecht Jan Černín in the chapel of St Sigismund in the cathedral of St Vitus is one of the unjustly forgotten sepulchral monument of the 17th century in Bohemia. Based on so-far unpublished correspondence from 1683 until 1688, it is possible not only to document the complicated course of the building of this monument but also to determine the designer of the monument who is the prominent architect active in Bohemia in the 1670s-90s Jean Baptiste Mathey. Some hitherto unknown Mathey´s works are newly published here – the altar retables in Stará Boleslav (Altbunzlau) and in Litvínov (Leutensdorf), also the graphic portrait of the prioress of the Discalced Carmelites in Prague´s Malá Strana the venerable Maria Electa à Jesu.
