Written inheritance of Elizabeth Richenza and her illumination workshop
VELICKÁ, Olga
Among the works of older Czech literature, we can find not only the texts with entertaining character, but also the philosophical, theological, educational, legal and liturgical texts. In this work, I will occupy myself with the liturgical texts, namely with the form of the collection of manuscripts from Staré Brno. The primary aim of my bachelor{\crq}s work "Written Inheritance of Elizabeth Richenza and her Illumination Workshop" is to introduce readers to the origination and form of all nine extant manuscripts from Staré Brno, to set these manuscripts into the painting context of the 14th century and to evaluate the cultural and aesthetical exceptionality of this important work of art. Where we do not know the exact date of origination of the individual manuscripts, I try to determine it. In addition, I also focus on the building development of the Cistercian Cloister Aula Sanctae Mariae in Staré Brno and on the person of founder of this cloister, Queen Elizabeth Richenza. The work is limited by the years 1288 and 1335.
