Roudnice necrologium from 1457–1464 in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň
Dragoun, Michal ; Gaudek, Tomáš
The necrologium of the Roudnice canonry from 1457–1464, deposited in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň, collection Velkostatek (Manor) Třeboň, registratura IA 3K β 28e, is an important source, which has required a description, basic evaluation and edition. Its text was written in one hand and in several details complements the data of the extensive Roudnice necrologium (1333–1516) in the manuscript of the National Library of the Czech Republic XIX B 3. On the appearance of the altar of St Nicholas (Mikuláš) in the church in Roudnice, it adds that it was furnished with statues, and manuscript NK ČR VII C 23 connects it with the specific donation of the parish priest of Libochovice Jan. The necrologium then provides new data on the life of the widow of Jan Smiřický and on the life of their son Václav. The geographical distribution of the records of the necrologium is not wide and unlike the Prague manuscript confraternities are completely neglected. The striking number of women in the data of the necrologium, which is in accord also with other sources (the necrologium of the monastery of the Český Krumlov Friars Minor and Poor Clares), can be evaluated only after thorough study of the Prague manuscript, but the Třeboň necrologium confirms that the Roudnice canonry was not a forgotten institution even after the Hussite storms, it was respected and supported in Roudnice and its environs and its end was rather caused by the repeated war events under the reign of George of Poděbrady than disinterest in its activity.

The article tries about a new scope on the medieval mural paintings in the cloister of Emmaus monastery. The clue was found in connections of iconography of paintings and daily liturgy. Some paintings probably reflected the liturgical events in monastery.

Carmelites and Slavonic Benedictines in the New Town of Prague
Benešovská, Klára
Both the monasteries founded by Charles IV were secured by the papal documents two years before the New Town of Prague was officially founded. The selection of these two orders and their location in future town development corresponds with their role in Charles’ vision of the new centre of the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Bohemia. Unlike earlier views, the author does not regard the two monasteries as an expression of young Charles’ efforts to penetrate the countries of schismatics with the help of the two orders.
