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.

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 ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
V letech 1814, 1815 a 1818 podnikl Karel Kramerius (1797-1874), syn známého nakladatele a novináře Václava Matěje Krameria (1753-1808), spolu se svými přáteli Karlem Michelem či Janem Šťasným tři velké prázdninové cesty po Čechách. Cílem těchto cest byly převážně zříceniny hradů, němí svědci minulosti, kterou Karel Kramerius tolik toužil poznat. Tato práce čtenáři přináší především edici tří cestovních deníků, které si Karel Kramerius na těchto cestách psal. Kromě podrobných popisů zřícenin hradů, často provázené vlastnoruční kresbou, deníky obsahují též popisy ostatních historických objektů (zámků, klášterů, přírodních památek), krajin, průběhu cesty a příhod, které cestovatelům putování od vesnice k vesnici zpestřovaly. Při poznávání vlasti se setkávali s obrozenci, příbuznými, přáteli, i prostým lidem. Karel Kramerius vyrůstal ve vlasteneckém ovzduší, vytvořeném již probíhajícím národním obrozením, a v době počínajícího českého romantismu. Oba tyto myšlenkové proudy se promítly v jeho denících. Avšak zatímco vlastenecké cítění se rozvinulo v plné šíři, romantické vnímání zřícenin a přírody zde sledujeme zatím jen v náznacích. Edice Krameriových deníků si klade za cíl rozšířit doposud nevelkou pramennou základnu pro poznání počátků českého romantismu a především počátků romantického zájmu o hrady a jejich...

Municipal administration and offices in the Middle Elbe region during the Thirty Years' War
Ďurčanský, Marek ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Čornejová, Ivana (referee) ; Pešek, Jiří (referee)
The operation of municipal offices and municipal administration in general was not a too popular topic in Czech historiography. Even this aspect of the life of Czech towns was strongly influenced by the persecution of Czech estates after the battle on the White Mountain and following processes with the gravity centre in the third decade of the 17th century, as well as by the direct and indirect consequences of military actions. Research in such area can also enrich our knowledge of many aspects of contemporary city life and contribute to a better explanation of such consequential phenomena as emigration and recatholicization. The municipal councils and municipal offices can often be named as nervus rerum in these circumstances. To elaborate the problems of military influences on administration in the times of the Thirty Years' War fully is not possible without more detailed studies about the situation of particular municipal offices. This kind of research would enable us to compare several regions. But there is a lack of such studies. The way out can be found by using proper surveys of the situation of several towns. Such probes would outline basic tendencies and phenomena, or the key questions for the subsequent research, such as: a) the extent and structure of the bodies of municipal administration and...
