Biography and Works of Printer and Wood-Cutter Michael Peterle (†1588)
Tvrzníková, Jana ; Voit, Petr (advisor) ; Veselá, Lenka (referee)
Thesis about life and work of a printer and a woodcutter Michael Peterle is focused mainly on his assumed woodcutting activity (he was active between years 1562-1588). It is based on following assumption: although Michael Peterle did not sign his woodcuts, he illustrated portion of his prints. His printing office produced multitude of topical compositions and some interesting illustrated books. Photodocumentation and description of woodcutting illustrations and decoration (according to Soupis tisků Michaela Peterla staršího a jeho nástupců by Pravoslav Kneidl and more recent sources) was created during writing of this thesis. Attention was also focused on context of usage of illustrations. Afterwards Illustrations and decoration of Peterle's competition in the Czech Republic and Germany were examined. Conducted research showed, that Michael Peterle was not woodcutter, but only a colorist and a printer. This thesis provides another view on printing production in the second half of the 16th century. Key words: Peterle, Michael; printer; bookprinting; woodcut; illustration; decoration

Keřkovská, Marta ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
Front-pages and illustrations of the sixfold Bible of Kralice The Bachelor thesis will be aimed at the illustrations of the sixfold Bible of Kralice published gradually from 1579 to 1596. First of all, the Ivančice and Kralice printing house will be introduced. Its origin and activities will be dealt with. Afterwards, it will be necessary to explain the printing technology which was used by the printers of Ivančice and Kralice in their publications. The thesis will also talk about the printers of the house and their sources of inspiration. Eventually, if the printers' works are identical with these sources they will be compared. The main part of the thesis will be especially focused on iconographic description of the front-pages in particular parts of the Bible. The thesis will also mention Jiří Melantrich's printing house which printed Bibles approximately in the same time as Ivančice and Kralice printing house. The printer will be briefly introduced and so will his published Bible. The end of the chapter will focus on the comparison of the Ivančice and Kralice printing house with Melantrich's printing house. Keywords Key words: Bible, bookprinting, printing house, graphics, iconography, history, Ivančice, Kralice
