The textual relationship between the chronicle written by Wenceslas Hájek from Libočany and a legend about St. Wenceslas written by Aegidius a S. Joanne Baptista
NEUWIRTHOVÁ, Kateřina
The subject of the bachelor thesis is a legend about St. Wenceslas written in Czech by Aegidius a St. Joanne Baptista called Věnec blahoslavenému a věčně oslavovanému knížeti českému, mučedníku božímu, druhému Abelovi, svatému Václavovi, z dvou a třicíti růží jeho svatého narození, života, smrti (A Wreath for Blessed and Forever Celebrated Wenceslas, Duke of Bohemia, God´s Martyr and Second Abel Made from Thirty Two Roses of His Saint Birth, Life, Death). This bachelor thesis introduces the author and his piece and it also focuses on Aegidius´s sources that he used to write his legend. Aegidius a St. Joanne Baptista claimed that his main source was Kronika česká (Czech Chronicle) from 1541 by Wenceslas Hájek from Libočany. This bachelor thesis verifies Aegidius´s claim and tries to find ways how he worked with the source.

Hájek's depiction of the Hussite era
Čornej, Petr
The detailed analysis of parts in which Václav Hájek of Libočany in his Czech Chronicle (1541) described the Hussite era shows that the Catholic author did not have the strict antihussite attitude. He fully respected the political and religious organization of the Czech state formed in the years of Hussite revolution.
