The Czech translators at the local government in Prague in 18th century
PSOTKOVÁ, Jana
This M.A. thesis deals with the office of the Czech translator at the local government in Prague, which was established in 1749 as a part of the Repräsentation und Kammer. The first aim of our work is to describe and explain the agenda of this department, assess its activities within the contemporary context and justify its establishment. In doing so, we contribute to the historical research by describing the situation of the officials at the time of Maria Theresa and Joseph II, and furthermore we contribute also to the linguistical research by studying the role of Czech in the administration in 18th century. The introduction describes the situation of Czech language in the 18. century and analyzes the state of research. The further text is divided into three chapters. The first one shows the development of Bohemian local government in Prague where Czech translators were working. The most important part of the work is the second chapter, which expounds the history of the translator's office and provides biographies of individual translators. The third chapter presents the Apology of Czech written by the first known translator Matěj Rudolf Blažej which is interesting for us as an example of texts produced by the office in the 18th century and as a contribution to the Czech National Revival.

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.

Another part analyses particular editions and the features that determine the affiliation of Theresie und Eleonore with its genre.

An important element of the central part is Sonnenfels?s creation of an artificial women culture.

The Sonnenfels´ weekly moral women´s magazine Theresie und Eleonore
MEZEROVÁ, Veronika
As the title itself suggests, the bachelor´s work called The Sonnenfels´ weekly moral women´s magazine Theresie und Eleonore pursues a weekly moral magazine Theresie und Eleonore issued in 1767, 1773 and 1784. Its author Joseph von Sonnenfels was a jurist of the Enlightenment, a reformer and an intellectual. Theresie und Eleonore is one of his lesser-known magazines which was considered a women´s magazine and describing the women´s world. The main characters are named after Sonnenfels´ wife and her sister Eleonore. Initially the magazine had been regarded as a work of two women - the main characters. Later, Sonnenfels owned up to his work. The constituent parts of my work are the author of the magazine, the form of particular copies and the Sonnenfels´ fictitious authorship. His life and work is set into the cultural context of his time and Theresie und Eleonore is shown as a typical example of the Enlightenment era. The following chapter concentrates on particular editions of the magazine which was published three times in three slightly different editions in the 18th century. The chapter examines the forms of individual issues and their differences. The last part of my work pursues the Sonnenfels´ fictitious authorship which is especially interesting in the fact that the authors were supposedly women. The particular elements of the fictitious authorship are analysed in the order as they were set by Sonnenfels. It concerns the fictitious characters, letters and narration.
