Capital letters in the Old Czech Chapter Psalter
Voleková, Kateřina
The article deals with the influence of the notation of capital letters on the text of the Old Czech Psalters from the 14th century. The capital letters have a different function in the Psalters than in other contemporary manuscripts, where they usually serve for syntactic division of the text, while in the Psalters they mark the beginnings of verses and are written into the text additionally in a different colour of ink. In most Old Czech Psalters, the scribes supplemented the capital letters according to the prescribed letters. However, this does not apply to the so-called Chapter Psalter from the 1380s, whose scribe in some cases relied on his own judgment and added a different capital letter to the text than was prescribed. This could lead not only to a change in one word, but also to the overall meaning of the given Psalm verse, the scribe thus contributed significantly to the final version of the Old Czech Psalms.

Karel Sklenička 's Responsorial Psalms
Nedbalová, Josefína ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis consists of three parts. The first one describes the historical role of psalms during masses from their origin until presence. It illuminates the new role of psalms in the Cathlolic liturgy after the second Vatican council and outlines how these liturgical changes projected into Czech Catholic enviroments. The second part introduces significant Czech psalters and their authors. The psalters were created for liturgical needs and in reaction to the conclusions of the 2VC for liturgical needs. The third, main part of the thesis consists of detailed analysis of 1992 Karel Sklenička's psalter Responsoriální žalmy pro neděle a významné dny liturgického roku. The analysis of harmonic and melodic procedures of individual tones serves as a basis for the practival part of the thesis which is an extension of existing Sklenička's psalter to all days of liturgical year. The new psalter preserves the music component composed by Karel Sklenička and also preserves the way of work with the liturgical text in new psalms following the pattern of Karel Sklenička. The new psalter keeps strictly to the liturgically prescribed texts for individual liturgical occasions like the psalter from 1992.

Psalter of the Roman Divine Office and It's Changes in the 20th Century
PAVLÍK, Jakub
During the 20th century two new Latin translations of the Psalter were prepared for use in the Roman Divine Office. The "Pian Psalter" (1945) was a work of professors of the Pontifical Biblical Institute, fulfilling an order of pope Pius XII. Another translation was prepared in course of the Second Vatican Council's liturgical reform and included in Liturgia horarum (1971, 1985). The first part of the thesis, historical in it's nature, describes origin of both translations and their reception. The second part demonstrates their character on selected psalms and compares them. Finally, differences and meaning shifts are evaluated. How did both Psalter translations change meaning of the prayer of the Church?
