History of the Cistercian Monastery in Zbraslav till the hussite revolution
Šulc, Jan ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
The Bachelor thesis focuses on the beginnings of the Cistercian monastery in Zbraslav, its boom and its importance right after the monastery was founded by the Czech and Polish king Wenceslas II until the plundering by the Hussites. Author of the thesis starts with a brief history of the place in the context of the time before the founding of the monastery. The first written reference to Zbraslav is in the founding charter of the Kladruby monastery from 1115. In this year prince Vladislav I gave a place called Zbraslav to the Benedictine monastery in Western Bohemia, together with other estates on the confluence of the Vltava and Mže rivers. It is quite possible that this decision signalled later choice of Zbraslav of the king Wenceslas II for establishing one of the most powerful and eminent Cistercian monasteries in the Czech lands in the time of the last kings from the House of Přemysl. Zbraslav's abbot and the well-known chronicler Petr Žitavský calls it a disposition of God.

Plague, massacre, Mary: Anti-Jewish Aspects of Late Medieval Piety
Soukup, Daniel
The so-called Plague persecutions from 1348 to 1350 affected a large majority of the Jewish communities in the Empire, who were accused of poisoning the wells. Though the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia were spared from these violent attacks, Czech medieval literature was mirroring contemporary events and anxiety. Along with economical as well as political reasons, the atmosphere created by the overwhelming threat of the Black Death was also shaped by specific aspects of late medieval piety - passion and Marian devotion, favoured by Emperor Charles IV himself. The paper focuses on mimetic passion piety, partly represented by the flagellant movement and officially expressed by devotional literature, and its influence on anti-Jewish rhetoric and violence. Analysis of vernacular prayers, poems and laments of the Virgin Mary (planctus Marie), the most powerful and emotional texts of spiritual edification modelled by the compassionate spectatorship, presents those anti-Jewish aspects which could pave the way for physical aggression against the Jewish community. Besides contemplative literature, timeless and universal Marian tales could echo actual massacres and legitimized anti-Jewish violence. This may be the case of a Bohemian version of the Marian miracle De Imagine S. Mariae in Lidda, preserved in the 14th century manuscript Liber depictus, which formulates the maxims of medieval society against the background of hagiographies that were updated for that time.
