Cistercian and Benedictine Sign Language in the Middle Ages
Těšínská Lomičková, Radka ; Kuthan, Jiří (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
Radka Těšínská Lomičková: Cistercian and Benedictine Sign Language in the Middle Age Sign language is an important communication phenomenon that has existed for a thousand years. In medieval monasteries signs were used to enable simple communication of messages when rules of silence forbade monks from speaking. This thesis concentrates on a study of sign language communication in Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries during the Middle Ages. In doing so it describes the history of sign language in Europe between the 10th and 15th centuries. Furthermore it shows that sign language was not only used in the center of the order but in the Czech Republic as well. This thesis provides a detailed discussion of sign lexicons which are similar to a monolingual dictionary and are the basic and central source of information about each language. Lexicons contain words and short descriptions of how to make each hand sign. A careful analysis of one particular sign lexicon, called Siquis (which was used in Central Europe in the 15th century), reveals new information about daily life in medieval monasteries. The primary focus of the Siquis lexicon was liturgy, food and drink, utensils, persons, and activities. This thesis concentrates on both singular words and on the description of the signs in the lexicons....

ČTVRTNÍK, Pavel
This diploma thesis is focused on years 1900-1938 in Czech history, which is the period of time from the end of 19th century to the end of so called "The First Republic". The thesis follows historical development of the aristocratic estate of Přečín at the foothills of the Šumava mountains as well as on its ground and daily life of local people of that time. The author is focused on interconnection of country people´s lives and this estate as a farm building. Besides, he aims to put history of this location into larger context of history of Czech lands. In his research he used records from The State Regional Archieve Třeboň as a main and rich fount of knowledge of the estate´s history. Records in The State District Archieves in Strakonice and Prachatice were main recources for studying people´s lives and the author used narrative materials, too, especially chronicles. He also worked with a sound recording of a report of a lady who had lived at that time. In every chapter, there are collected findings from archieve sources confronted with professional literature and regional specific literature. The author pays attention to special characteristics of the examined region, ways and opportunities of living, as well as to war events in 1914-1918 and their consequences, that affected daily lives of people. The research leads also to the process of the first land reform, that should have changed Czech countryside. The author doesn´t forget to mention the family of the estate´s owners - the aristocratic family of the Schwarzenbergs.
