Kupková, Kristina ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Sládek, Miloš (referee)
(in English): The submitted diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the textual image of the Czech provincial patrons (Adalbert, Amabilia, Agnes, Cyril and Methodius, Five Saint Brothers, Günter, Hedwig, Hroznata, Ivan, Mlada, John of Nepomuk, Norbert, Procopius, Sigmund, Wenceslas, Vitus, Vojslava and Zdislava) based on hagiographic prints published in the Prague diocese. The beginning of the studied period (i.e. the period in which the texts were published) is defined as the reoccupation of the Prague archiepiscopal see by Anton Brus in 1563 and the associated beginnings of the restoration of the position of the Catholic Church. The upper time limit is then the mid-1650s, when the first phase of the recatholization gradually ceased and the thematic literary production increased in quantity. The thesis examines the contemporary formation of holiness and its types, comments on their individual aspects, compares them with each other, and attempts to provide a deeper understanding of the religious life and patriotism of early modern Bohemia. The present study uses individual methodological approaches and moves between history and history of literature. Key words: Prague Dioces; Second Half of the 16th Century; First Half of the 17th Century; Patron Saints of Czech Lands; Patriotism; Hagiography;...

Kupková, Kristina ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Drška, Václav (referee)
The bachelor's thesis observes the Archdiocese of Prague since the reoccupation of the See of Prague in 1561 to the end of the episcopate of Zbyněk Berka of Dubá and Lipá in 1606. Based on a study of Council of Trent decrees and in comparison with Archdiocese of Mainz as a benchmark, this contribution to the history of church history of the second half of the 16th century deals with the progress of archbishops in implementation of the Tridentine decrees in the religious-administrative practice of the Central European Roman Catholic Church including specifics caused by historical development of the archdioceses and the status of their metropolitans. The thesis accentuates conclusions of the Trent council regarding the ideal of the bishop and his duties: convening of synods, visitations, improvement of clerics' education, in the Czech environment then also ordination of the clergy.
