The Lost Epitaph and Tombstone of Václav Hájek of Libočany
Mezihoráková, Klára
Beginning in the 17th century, the numerous authors of documents about Prague referred to the grave of Václav Hájek of Libočany (the Catholic priest and author of the famous Czech Chronicle, † 1553) with a tombstone and epitaph being located in the Church of Saint Anne at the Convent of Dominican Nuns in the Old Town in Prague. Despite this fact, both monuments disappeared without a trace during the 19th century. While the only information about the tombstone is that it was made of ‘yellow marble’ the descriptions of the epitaph have survived as well as two depictions from the later editions of the Czech Chronicle from 1718 and 1761. In spite of the incomplete documentation, the epitaph presents the best-identified part of the furnishings of the Convent of Saint Anne in Prague. This article points to the surprising fact, that these monuments were not lost in auctions after the cancellation of the monastery in 1782, as one would have expected, but probably nearly a hundred years later.

Functional arrangements characteristic of medieval nuns´ churches: an example of two preserved Czech Dominican churches
Mezihoráková, Klára
The study confronts the Dominican regulations with the preserved medieval architecture of two Dominican nuns´churches - the Church of St. Catherine in Olomouc and the Church of St. Anne in Prague´s Old Town - and argues that it is necessary to perceive the monastic nuns´church not only as an aesthetical artefact but also as functional whole.
