The Legend of Saint Procopius
VOSÁTKOVÁ, Andrea
The thesis examines the legend of Saint Procopius. At the beginning there is the description of the life of Saint Procopius and introduces genre legends. The introductory chapters will contain chapter of Sázava's monastýry founded by Saint Procopius and the last chapter of the theoretical part will be devoted to visual processing Prokop´s legend in Liber depictus. This is followed by a comparison and analysis of Prokop legends from the Middle Age to the present. The starting point is the five basic texts, which are Vita minor, Legenda Aurea by the Italian Dominican Jacobus de Voragine, which is written around 1260, traditional Czech verse processing of Prokop legends from the reign of Charles IV., Prokop legend by Jaroslav Vrchlický from 19th century and the final text is compared About Saint Prokop with legend published by M. Drahovzal, which is a part of folk culture. This comparison is supplemented with a chapter called Saint in the Baroque period. Each processing precedes the introductory part, which is either introduced the time in which the legend was created, or contains a brief description of the author, who wrote the legend.
Image of Skeleton in the South Bohemian legends
VOSÁTKOVÁ, Andrea
The aim of my bachelor thesis is to capture the differences and to find the similarities in the legend of Skeleton of Chynov, which is compiled in many varieties. For the analysis I have chosen the oldest version of the legend, which was printed in the magazine Český lid by František Domorázek. Another adaptation was captured by Radovan Krátký. Finally, Hynek Klimek was also interested in this legend. I pay close attention to the analysis of the main motifs which are typical in individual adaptations. I also try to characterise the characters which appear in the legend, the motivation for their behaviour and moral lesson. Moreover, I explain the term of legend. The aim is to compare the three interpretations by means of motifs and to find similar legends of Southern Bohemia.
