Kubíčková, Irena ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Holý, Martin (referee)
The main topic of the thesis called "Cavaliers on the journey through Europe and time. Traveller reflexions of three Bohemian aristocrats from the beginning of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century" is an insight into the life and way of thinking of three early modern Bohemian aristocrats - travellers (Bedrich from Donin, Lev Vilem from Kounice and Krystof Vaclav from Nostice) through their literary work from their journeys. The main sources for this thesis were three contemporary travel books or rather travel diaries available to the wide public of researchers by the editions. The main subject of my research is to display and analyse the intellectual world of aristocrats-travellers on the basis of some specific categories and aspects characteristic to their literary works (social status, religion, age, type of journey and itinerary, representative retinue, the main spheres of their interest and attention, language form and stylistics, composition, etc.). The presented thesis also focuses on demonstrating the many-sided use of travel diaries and points to this specific type of document as a peculiar historical source. Key words: early modern era, travelling, travel books and travel diaries, czech lands, aristocracy

NOBLEMAN AT THE TURN OF BAROQUE AND ENLIGHTENMENT
HÁLOVÁ, Michaela
This work endeavours to introduce two treatises which deal with the topic of ideal nobleman at the turn of Baroque and Enlightenment in Czech lands. Both of them were written in French by scholars who had some relation with Czech lands. The first one is a manuscript called ?Le prince selon Dieu et les hommes prouvé par les propres paroles de l? écriture sainte et appuyé du témoignage des docteurs de l?église et des Meilleurs auteurs profanes?? ( The Prince according to God and the people, proved by the words of Holy Scripture and supported by the testimony of church scholars and of the best secular authors) which was written in 1725 by a teacher of French language named Philibert Joseph le Roux and its content shows the baroque point of view of virtues which are indispensable for every Christian prince. The second one is younger, it is a print called ?Connoissances que doit avoir un jeune seigneur ou l?idée d?un homme d?honneur? (The Knowledge which a young man has to have i.e. the ideal of the honest man) which was created at the end of 18th century. The aim of its analysis is to find out if the ideal of nobleman during 18th century has changed or not. The introduction of this thesis defines the topic and analyzes the state of research. In the next parts, the thinking of Baroque and Enlightenment is indicated as well as the change of position of the nobility during these two periods. The main part introduces a scholarly account of virtues and qualities which are, in a view of each author, necessary for every aristocrat.

NOVOTNÁ, Lucie
The thesis deals with Marian cult in South Bohemia. First the thesis provides an overview of the origins and development of Pietas Mariana in Europe and especially in the Czech Lands from the 9th century to the present time. A rise of the Marian cult could be observed in Bohemia and Moravia even in the Baroque period and among those members of the orders who considered the Virgin Mary to be their founder, protector or patron. Marian piety, Marian places of pilgrimage and Marian lay communities played also an important role in the so-called ``Marian century{\crqq} (1854-1950). The last but one chapter provides a brief summary of Marian places of pilgrimage in South Bohemia (churches, chapels, wells) including their legends, stories and miracles. The last chapter describes six best known Marian places of pilgrimage in the diocese of České Budějovice in detail (e.g. Chlum u Třeboně, Klokoty, Lomec, Římov, Sepekov and Svatý Kámen u Rychnova nad Malší).
