Italian Book Collection of Marie Ernestine of Eggenberg
GRUBHOFFER, Václav
This thesis deals with the Italian books preserved in the Eggenberg Library in the Český Krumlov Castle, particulary with the Italian book collection of the princess Maria Ernestina of Eggenberg, born Schwarzenberg, which is seen as the "mirror" of intellectual interests and lifestyle of the noblewoman of the baroque period and as an image of reception of Italian literature in the 17th century Czech lands from the side of literate and cosmopolitan aristocracy.

The Establishment of Japanese-Spanish Diplomatic Relations with Focus on the Mission of Hasekura Tsunenaga
Nedvědová, Markéta ; Labus, David (advisor) ; Sýkora, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the establishment of Japanese-Spanish diplomatic relations and their development in the second half of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century. The main part is dedicated to the so-called Keicho Embassy, which has been sent between the years 1613 - 1620 from Japan to the European courts in order to discuss the trade agreements, to meet with Pope Paul V and to spread the Christian faith in northern Japan. This mission has been led by the Japanese ambassador Hasekura Tsunenaga, who was accompanied among others by Franciscan friar Luis Sotelo. This work also briefly depicts the arrival of the first European traders or the rivalry between Christian religious orders in Japan. The aim of the thesis is to analyze these Japanese-Spanish relations.

Telč in seventeenth century
MAREČEK, Jakub
The topic of my bachelor's work is the history of the town of Telč in the 17th century. I chose this historical epoch mainly for the reason that little attention was devoted to it in previous research of Telč history. First, I evaluate the works that have been written about Telč so far. I try to assess the approach of their authors and I investigate which historical period of the town they considered to be the heyday of time. I also focus on their view of the town in the 17th century. Subsequently, I incorporate Telč to the urban network in early modern times. I compare its size not only to towns in the Telč County but also to the size of urban settlements in Bohemia and Moravia. Afterwards, I introduce the members of Slavata family individually and their relationship to the town. Then, I concentrate on the impact of the Thirty Years War on the town and the situation thereafter. Finally, I reconstruct the appearance of the town administration on the basis of extant sources, its functioning and relationship to the castle lords in the last chapter.
