Hanušová, Barbora ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Čornejová, Ivana (referee)
Women in Reformation The position of women developed throughout history. Religious reformation, which took place in the early 16th century in the German speaking countries and hundred years earlier in the Czech Kingdom, was one of the movements which changed radically the position of women in the society. First, the religious leaders beginning with Martin Luther changed the clerical view which saw women as incompetent, incomplete and sinful beings into one of respect to the gender and its specifics and to the biological role played by women - motherhood.

Church of the Brethren in Mladá Boleslav at the time of its creation
Matoušková, Magdaléna ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
In thesis I will focus on the church of the Brethren in Mladá Boleslav. Except the characterization of constructional and historical development of this structure, I will do the analysis of paintings in the interior of this building, where were mostly used ornamental motifs. However, primarily I will devote to the details of decoration of the eastern part of this building for which were used quotations from Scripture. I will compare painting decorations with contemporary prints, which were made by members of the Unity of Brethren. I will focus to some similarities of ornamental and typographic decoration. Further, I will briefly mention the architect of this building - Matteo Borgorelli and his other buidings. Marginally I will also devote to conditions, which the Unity of Brethren had in Mladá Boleslav in 16th century.
