Historian Jan Florian Hammerschmidt and his method of using primary sources. (As demonstrated in his work Prodromus Gloriae Pragenae)
Ciglerová, Jana ; Mikulec, Jiří (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis explores the historiographical treatise Prodromus Gloriae Pragenae by Jan Florian Hammerschmidt (1652-1735). The study examines in close detail the structure and contents of this important work of Baroque historiography and topography, and attempts to identify the specific features of Hammerschmidt's treatment of his topic, primarily in comparison with his manuscript work Historia Pragensis. The focus is on outlining the quantity and variety of the sources used and on the evaluation of Hammerschmidt's approach to sources and historiographic literature. His (un-)critical approach to his predecessors as well as his research method are demonstrated on a number of examples.

Commendam the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star in Cheb durning the commandery of Georg Runner of Chvalšiny (1609-1632)
Knetlová, Hana ; Mikulec, Jiří (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
This work is dedicated to the history of Commendam the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star and to its hospital in the period, in which was Georg Runner functioning. He was working there in 1609-1632. I tried to put this person into connection with historical events in this region. I handle in detail about the religion circumstances in time of the biggest rapid development of Lutheranism, about conflict, which comes up between local catholic and protestant people, and about the first progress of rekatolization in Cheb, too. Another problem contains progress of economics estate of the commendam in this time. There are some property and jural conflicts for example. With economics situation are close connected the war affairs of very big importance in this time and this about is another chapter. Its place has the question of administration and common life in hospital. Authentic documents of the Knights of the Cross are the most significant resources for this work.

Masculinity and feminity in early modern czech literature
Ratajová, Jana ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Horský, Jan (referee) ; Himl, Pavel (referee)
This doctoral thesis aims to analyse the gender categories of male and female in a historical perspective, focusing in particular on the following issues: 1. whether and to what extent these categories were defined in the early modern period (the construction of gender in the early modern texts, the contemporary gender norms and the theory of gender); 2. how the particular genders interrelate, whether and how the binary opposition between masculinity and feminity was being defined in that historical period.

My Dear Mýsa! From the recondite correspondence between Vojtěch Hynais and Josef Václav Myslbek from the years 1881-1900
Kolář, Petr ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
Vojtěch Hynais, author of the curtain of the National in Prague, belongs to main creator of this theatre. He was in warm contact with other important persons of cultural and art life of this time, for example Josef Václav Myslbek or Václav Brožík. He lived in Paris for several yers (1878-1893). During the time of his Parisian stay he preserved continual contact with home. He visited Prague occassionally and besides he corresponded with his friends from Bohemia. One of the most frequent correspondence partners was J.V. Myslbek, who was probably his best friend. The edition of 64 letters and two correspondence cards sent from Vojtěch Hynais to Josef Václav Myslbek, which is showed in this work, as the proof of the deep friendship between these two man and simultaneously the reflection of the most important moments of their lives in the period 1881-1900. The correspondence originates from a private collection and I tried to manage it in accordance with the valid principles of the metodology of edition.

Itinerary of Caspar J.N. Brandl, a premonstratensian of the monastery in Teplá, from 1707-1710, as a source for church and political History of central and east Europe in the years of the Great Northern War
Kulová, Zuzana ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (referee)
Hlavním cílem této diplomové práce bylo vytvoření komentované kritické edice zmíněného latinského pramene, jeho popis a rozbor jednotlivých částí díla. Stejně významnou součástí je také alespoň částečné sestavení životních osudů tepelského premonstráta Caspara Brandla, přičemž jsme zcela odkázáni pouze na dochované prameny kláštera Teplá, popřípadě na kusé informace, jež na sebe prozradí sám autor. Nejvíce zpráv při tom získáváme jen k několika dnům Brandlova života, jež strávil jako zpovědník a kaplan v Toužimi u kněžny Charlotty a kdy bez dovolení řádových představených opustil Čechy jako součást kněžnina doprovodu a vydal se s ní směrem do Saska. Brandlův deník jako pramen alespoň částečně související s událostmi severní války, povstáním Františka II. Rákócziho a jeho kontakty s polským prostředím, poskytující navíc očima katolického kněze ze střední Evropy cenné postřehy z cest po východoevropských zemích, je v našem prostředí pramenem spíše ojedinělým a je obtížné najít dílo, jež by mohlo posloužit k případné komparaci. Jako nejvhodnější se zdá být Itinerarium Daniela Krmana, luteránského superintendenta z Horních Uher, jenž téměř ve stejné době putoval k švédskému králi Karlu XII., tehdy pobývajícímu se svým vojskem ve východní Evropě, a cestoval tak mnohdy přes stejná území jako otec Caspar, jen s...

Students of the Unity of Brethern at the beginning of the 17th century or priests-to-be from the archive of Matouš Konečný
Růčková, Markéta ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
In the course of reconstruction works in the area of the former cloister Na Karmeli in Mladá Boleslav in August 2006 the builders found two wooden boxes. The boxes were buried under the backfilling material of the arch of the cloister's ground floor. They have preserved the so-called Archive of Matouš Konečný (1572-1622), one of the last bishops of the Unity of Brethren before the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. The unilateral correspondence dating back to the first two decades of the 17th century constitutes the main part of the excavated archival documents. The correspondence which was addressed to Matouš Konečný is composed partly of letters from students (or to be precise priests-to-be of the Unity of Brethren). These letters constitute the basis of the submitted diploma thesis. Firstly, the author offers the basic characteristic of the mentioned archival findings and resumes hitherto scholarship related to the theme. Then the main core of the thesis is focused on the education of priests-to-be in the Unity of Brethren. This education took place in Brethren houses and was provided by priests. The quality of the knowledge passed on the pupils depended on knowledge and experience of these priests. The organization of this type of education was regulated by the church's order. Despite the fact that the...

Václav (Remedius) Prutký OFM: Itinerarium missionum apostolicarum (introductory study, edition and translation with commentary on part I of the work)
Förster, Josef ; Svatoš, Martin (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Navrátilová, Hana (referee)
The dissertation presents primarily the text itself of part of Itinerarium (the first 31 chapters) in the form of a critical edition. It thus greatly eases the work of all future researchers in studying the work in the Latin original. The edition was acquired on the basis of a manuscript autograph, the property of the Franciscan Brothers Provenance in Prague kept in the National Library of the Czech Republic. The Itinerarium ranks amongst the most important works from a file of manuscript sources, the authors of which are members of the St. Wenceslas provenance of the order of lesser brothers of St. Francis, who were active during the course of the 18th century on missions in Egypt or Ethiopia and attained a prestigious standing in the mission hierarchy (Jakub Římař, Remedius Prutký, Kristián Schneider). Their works, which are of a various nature (itineraries, journals, collections of medical prescriptions, language dictionaries, liturgical manuals etc.), may be valuable sources for experts in a diverse range of fields: oriental studies, Egyptology, geography, history, linguistics, literary history etc. With regard to the fact that Prutký's literary work is unknown to the Czech reader and has been presented only thanks to the translation of two chapters acquired in the 1940s by Z. Kalista, it evidently...

The phenomenon of peregrination around castle ruins in the first half of the 19th century. Edition and contentual analyse of three Karel Kramerius's travelling diaries
Kalašová, Marcela ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor)
In the years 1814, 1815 and 1818 Karel Kramerius (1797-1874), a son of a famous publisher and journalist Václav Matěj Kramerius (1753-1808), realized with his friends Karel Michel and Jan Šťasný three great holiday travels over Bohemia. Aims of these travels were mainly castle ruins, speechless witnesses of the past that Karel Kramerius desired to become acquainted with so much. This rigorous work presents to reader mainly the edition of three travelling diaries, which Karel Kramerius wrote during these travels. Apart from detailed descriptions of the castle ruins, often accompanied by self-made drawing, the diaries also contain descriptions of other historic buildings (manor-houses, monasteries, natural monuments), countryside, progress of travel and events, which diversified travelling from one village to another to the travelers. During getting to know their homeland they met revivalists, relations, friends and common people. Karel Kramerius grew up in a revivalist environment created by the national revival which had already been in progress, and in an epoch of the beginning of the Czech romantic period. Both of these schools of thought projected in his diaries. While patriotic feeling developed in full extensity, romantic reception of castle ruins and country is recognised here only in indications. The...

Historia S. Joannis Nepomuceni of 1729 and its period translations
Bočková, Alena ; Svatoš, Martin (advisor) ; Juríková, Erika (referee) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
Grounded by studie s of early modem Czech and Latin literature, this dissertation examines the work of a Jesuit historian Maximilianus Wietrowsky Historia S. Joannis Nepomuceni (1729) and its Czech translation Zpráva historická o životě sv. Jana Nepomuckého [Historical Report on the Life oj Saint John ojNepomuk] (1730). Apart from analysing both works from literary-historical, linguistic, stylistic and translational points of view, the thesis attempts to depict their wider cultural-historical context and to appreciate the important elements pertaining to the time ofthe works' birth and their content. In the introduction, the thesis is concemed with the question of authorship ofboth the Latin original and its Czech translation. After careful examination of a mostly manuscriptial body of sources, the author succeeded in finding grounds on which it is possible to assume that the author of the Latin version is indeed Maximilianus Wietrowsky (1660-1737), whose authorship has been indicated - without sufficient evidence - in historical literature. The analysis of the Czech translation, on the other hand, seems to disprove Wietrowsky's authorship of the Czech version.
