Tombstones and Epitaphs of Italians in the Czech Lands during 1500-1620
Chlíbec, Jan
Thus far, no attention with respect to nationality has been paid to tombstones and epitaphs of Italians who lived in the Czech lands during the Renaissance era and who were subsequently buried there. Nevertheless, it is an interesting segment of this specific type of sculpture, although rather from the perspective of cultural history and epigraphy than from the art history. The commissioners of these works largely adapted their taste to the established types of sepulchral monuments and epithaphs north of Alps. The convolute of these works is rather limited, thus far comprising of 11 works and only 4 of them are figural. Yet, sober inscription plates , decorated only with the coat of arms of the deceased person, prevail in the majority of sepulchral works of the researched convolute.Their austere artistic form can be explained by the influence of the Council of Trent´s ideology. The Prague synod in 1605 continued the refusal of pompous tombstones and had an unfavourable impact on the development of sepulchral sculpture.

Medieval Sepulchral Monuments of the Calced Augustinians in Domažlice through the Eyes of Baroque Monastic Historiographers
Hrdinová, Martina
In the monastic archive of the Provincial Office of the Calced Augustinians in Prague, the manuscript Liber benefactorum Ecclesiae (National Archive, fonds Calced Augustinians, Prague, no. 97) from 1680–1735 revealed a list of sepulchral relics in the monastic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin in Domažlice from 1708. The list was made by the Augustinian historiographer Valentin Weidner (1658–1736) and it includes descriptions and illustrations for 13 monuments of which three date from the Middle Ages – the headstones of Jan of Rožmitál (†1480), Racek Rýzmberský of Janovice (†1461), and an unknown man (15th–16th century). These newly discovered Baroque texts facilitate the reconstruction of inscriptions and the appearance of sepulchral monuments whose fragments were re-discovered in the 1980s. The paper further focuses on the methods of monastic chroniclers used for epigraphy and heraldry sources and also on the reasons behind their interest in this type of monument.
