Aelred of Rievaulx and his Work De spirituali amicitia: between Tradition and Individualism
Smetanová, Zuzana ; Adámková, Iva (advisor) ; Jaluška, Matouš (referee)
This work deals with the personality of the English Cistercian monk and abbot of the 12th century Aelred of Rievaulx and his work "On Spiritual Friendship" (De spirituali amicitia). It aims to analyze Aelred's work in the broader context of Aelred's life, his other works and contemporary theological-philosophical concepts and ideals. It further intends to place him in the tradition of late ancient and medieval reflections on friendship and love with an emphasis on the monastic environment. The author made a translation and analysis of De spirituali amicitia's most important passages and compared them with Aelred's sources and originals. These include among others the work of Marc Tullio Cicero Laelius de amicitia, the writings of St. Ambrose and Augustine and the Bible. The thesis is concluded with an analysis of Aelred's "individuality", which is spread throughout his work and which is interpreted using the current discourse on individuality in the Middle Ages. Therefore, the author tries to define Aelred's place "between tradition and individualism".

Fragmentum praebendarum. Commented critical edition and translation of the manuscript of the canons of St. George in Prague from the 14th century
Pacovský, Karel ; Doležalová, Lucie (advisor) ; Adámková, Iva (referee)
This thesis analyzes the manuscript of the canons of St. George's church in Prague Castle from the 14th century called Fragmentum praebendarum (Prague, Czech National Library, sign. XIII A 2). The manuscript mentions many people related to St. George's church, contains many details about its liturgical life, and is especially focused on St. George's canons, their duties, and their benefices. Since the 18th century, the manuscript has been considered a valuable source for the history of St. George's church and the adjoining convent of Benedictine nuns, but so far, it has only been available in an edition from 1785. The new edition of the codex and its first Czech translation helps to identify many mentioned persons and places, as well as cited quotes. Together with its physical description and content analysis it broadens our knowledge about the origin of this manuscript, about the life in St. George's church during later Middle Ages and about the relationship between the male community of St. George's canons and the female convent of Benedictine nuns that together shared this church in the royal residence of Prague.

How to study successfully in the middle ages? An analysis of the late medieval treatise "De modulo studendi" (ms.Olomouc, RL, M I 357) and an edition of its selected parts
Odstrčilík, Jan ; Doležalová, Lucie (advisor) ; Adámková, Iva (referee)
The thesis analyses a previously untreated and unexplored treatise entitled De modulo studendi. It is located in ms. M I 357, kept in the Research Library in Olomouc, formerly from the Carthusian monastery in Olomouc. In the first part the problem of dating the treatise and the manuscript is discussed by analyzing the physical characteristics of the manuscript and its content. It seems likely that the manuscript was written sometime in 1450-1460's. The treatise itself seems to be written after 1456. In this section is also shown, how the medical part of the treaties depends directly on a set of medical prescriptions, called Recepta ac consila medica, which precede the treatise in the manuscript. In the second part the content of each chapter of De modulo studendi is summarized and commented. The treatise provides special advices on schoolbooks at the university level as well as the general advices for successful study. An edition of the selected parts of the treatise is also included in this work.
