Tradition of the Origin of the Lombards and Its Sources
Králová, Magda ; Prchlík, Ivan (advisor) ; Kalivoda, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines three sources dealing with the question of the origin of the Lombards, namely two short anonymous texts (the so-called Origo gentis Langobardorum, a text dating back to the second half of the seventh century, and the so-called Historia Langobardorum codicis Gothani, a text written probably between years 807-810) and Historia Langobardorum by a Lombard historian Paul the Deacon. The emphasis is laid on the mutual relationship between the texts, especially between the Origo gentis Langobardorum and the Historia Langobardorum codicis Gothani, both of which show a considerable number of common features. The question I mainly focus on is whether the latter can be directly dependent upon the former or whether the idea of a common source of both texts is more plausible. Another problem I am trying to solve is the question whether the author of the Historia Langobardorum codicis Gothani might have had any knowledge of the work of Paul the Deacon. The core of the thesis is formed by an analysis and a comparison of selected passages of the aforementioned texts.
