Walter, Pavel ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Zouhar, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with various aspects of the life of convent of Dominican Sisters of Saint Ann and Saint Lawrence at the Old Town of Prague. It integrates this community in to the context of the development of the Order of Preachers. It summs up the history of the Order in the Lands of Bohemia from the arrival of Dominicans up to the present day and the development of the Old Town convent from its founding to the beginning of the 18th century. It is based above all on unpublished sources which are deposited in the National Archive in Prague (fonds Archives of monasteries abolished under Joseph II., Order of Dominicanes of Saint Ann). In contrast to previous research, which is dedicated mostly to the economical history or to architectural and artistic development of this convent, this work follows the external activities of nuns (administration of their properties, churches under their patronages). It attempts in particular to draw the interior life of this convent (elections of superiors, the recruitment of novices to the Order, acquisition of various donations and supports etc.).

Medieval guardianship and its importance for the present
Radová, Irena ; Vachková, Eva (advisor) ; Kutnohorská, Jana (referee)
Key words: Middle Ages, 13th century, guardianship, religious orders, the woman in the Middle Ages, St. Agnes of Bohemia, St. Zdislava of Lemberk, nun This bachelor's thesis deals with the beginning of guardianship in the Czech lands in the 13th century, the standing of women in the Middle Ages and important women in the history of guardianship, above all Zdislava of Lemberk and Agnes of Bohemia. It maps their fates, work and legacy for the future. It also compares the life of both female saints with the way of life of a nun nowadays. In this context, the thesis also provides an overview of religious orders which devoted their work to charity and care for the ill in the 13th century. It tries to uncover the common and differing traits of medieval guardianship with the current concept of nursing care. The focal point of the thesis is made up of qualitative research, which uncovers the period problems in contrast with the present day. The benefit of this thesis should be to find differences and common traits in care for the ill at that time and today and the legacy left to us by the 13th century. It should also serve as a reminder of the wealth of history of the nursing profession and to increase the prestige and pride they themselves have in their career.

Word-formation analysis of Bohemian minor place-names
Štěpán, Pavel ; Harvalík, Milan (advisor) ; Krško, Jaromír (referee) ; Komárek, Karel (referee)
minor place-names from the territory of Bohemia. The parts devoted to the analysis of substantival and adjectival lexical units are divided into three sections dealing with suffixation, prefixal-sufixal forrnation and compounding. It has been necessary to approach the analysis of lexical the units forrned by suffixation selectively. The classification oflexical units formed by a certain mode become (in a majority of chapters) a starting point for the analysis of motivation of the individual minor place-names. The forrnation using the chosen word-forrnative devices is analysed on the background of the forrnation in the common-noun sphere of the language. One of the main aims of the thesis is to grasp the wordforrnative specificities in which the material of minor place-names differs from the common-noun sphere of the language. The analysis confirrns that so-called parasystemic means of word forrnation are typical of minor place names (as well as the whole proper-name sphere of the language). These means (mainly suffixes) are either not present in the commonnoun sphere (e.g. -čice, -ec1, or their typical function is different in common nouns (-ství, -inka). ln certain instances, the word-forrnation analysis conducted in this work may influence the interpretation of individual place names. This is due to the...

Medieval mural paintings in the Church of Saint Apollinaire at new city in Prague
Skalický, Petr ; Royt, Jan (referee) ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (advisor)
Chapter of St. Apollinaire was transfered to Prague from Sadská next to Nymburk town in 1364. Recent knowledge was showing that Karel IV. got an important role in fundation of that. I think, that there is a more important to highlight a role of Prague archbishops there. These mural paintings where perhaps ordered by the third prague arcibishop Johannes of Jensenstein, at least he was probably participating on it. He was probably the most important medieval latin writer in Bohemia. We also can recognise the original iconography of murral paitings in the church through his literary output. These paintings are not only ilustrations of his literary output. They are even a way how to thing about it. Their main idea is an united church with only head, Jesus Christ. His represetative was St. Peter and his followers from papst throne. The style of these paintings is created by painting style of workers from Karlstein castle. They are showing court painting style from the end of seventies and beginnig of eighties of 14. century as well. That's why we can say that they where done in the first half of eighties of 14. century. They are done in interim style. These paintings are the most inportant and the best done after court paitings (Karlstein castle, Na slovanech monastery and The Catedral).
