The Picture of Judas Iscariot in Contemporary Research and Cultural Contexts.
Poláková, Alžběta ; Lukeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)

For this reason, the author does not deal with a detailed analysis of these texts in this work and directly refers the reader to it (the work is available for inspection in the Repository of Final Theses of Charles University). The first chapters are devoted to reports from the Gospels and Paul's works, which the author serves primarily as a springboard for the introduction of various conceptions of the person of Judas, and which became the basis for the development of a tradition in the following centuries.

Literary Relationship between the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Thomas
Eder, Pavel ; Dus, Jan (advisor) ; Mrázek, Jiří (referee)
The thesis Literary Relationship Between the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Thomas aims to provide a closer look at the relationship between the ca- nonical Gospel According to Mark and the apocryphal Gospel According to Thomas. The first part of the thesis serves as an introduction: After prolego- mena to the Gospel of Mark and Thomas, it focuses on several contempora- ry hypotheses of the literary relationship between the Gospel of Thomas and Synoptics, as discussed in more recent articles and monographs. Thereafter, the second part of the thesis presents three studies of Thoma- sian and Markan sayings of Jesus. Where necessary, an excursion is made to other synoptic writings. The second part uses the method of linguistic comparison in order to reconstruct the redaction history and thus explain the original literary relationship of these two ancient writings.

Modern Fable and Apocrypha of Karel Čapek and Viktor Fischl
HÁJKOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis concerns itself with modern notions of fable and apocrypha genres in the work of Karel Čapek and Viktor Fischl, namely in Fables and Under-Short-Stories (Bajky a podpovítky), The Book of Apocrypha, Near-Fables and Apocrypha. The work is founded on a comparative study of the genres and authors with the intention to add to the theoretical definition of the modern notion of genre. The work comprises a methodological chapter, setting apart individual elements of narrative, such as motif, topic, narrator and character, and the characteristics of genres, which helps identifying individual elements of the modern genre of fable and apocrypha. In the practical part, methodological points of departure are applied on the texts mentioned, which are compared here. In conclusion, individual elements of the modern genre notion of Karel Čapek and Viktor Fischl are identified. Here, Viktor Fischl is set into a historical perspectiv, as his work is connected to the discourse of the so-called Czechoslovak ?First Republic? and to the work of Karel Čapek.
