Michal POHUNEK, History of the Slavonic Monastery during the Hussite and Utraquist Period. Praha 2022. Doctoral dissertation. Abstract History of the Slavonic Monastery during the Hussite and Utraquist Period is a systematic and critical dissertation on the history of the Slavonic Monastery in the New Town of Prague and its monastic community in the period 1419-1471. For a deeper understanding of the events of the period, the research also considers the context of the events which occurred before and after this period and examines the relationship between the monastic tradition of the Order of Saint Benedict and the reforming spirit of the Hussite movement in fifteenth century Bohemia. The study examines the character of the mass liturgy performed at the monastery at the time and discusses the local monastic community's loyalty to monastic ideals and its relationship to radical movements in the fifteenth century. The community's relationship to the monastery's immediate surroundings is also discussed, and a general historical overview of the period is given, including a chapter on the movements and fate of the famous Reims Gospel.

History of the Slavonic Monastery in the Hussite Time between 1419-1442
Pohunek, Michal ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee)
Bc. Michal Pohunek: Dějiny kláštera Na Slovanech za husitství v letech 1419 - 1442 Abstract History of the Slavonic Monastery in the Hussite Period between 1419 - 1442 This thesis describes the history of the Slavonic monastery, situated in Nové Město in Prague, and later also known as Emaus. My thesis concerns the period of the Hussite revolt between 1419-1442. At that period Holy Communion in the Slavonic monastery was offered to lay people in the utraquist mode - i.e., both bread and wine - and the monastic community became a part of the Hussite movement. The goals of this thesis are primarily theological, in line with the discipline of church history. First I want to contribute to the understanding of the spiritual and religious atmosphere in the whole of the Czech kingdom of that historical period, by describing its particular history in the Slavonic monastery. Second I would like to contribute to the comprehension of the possibility of Benedictine monastic life in the context of the Hussite movement and the influence of the utraquist monastery on the religious evolution of the time. This needs knowledge of the situation in the monastic community and its neighbourhood in that time. To understand the theological orientation of the monastic community in that period it is necessary to describe the...

The Cult of Jesus as a Child and his Praise of a Child as Reflected in Selected Sources
Pohunek, Michal ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Štica, Petr (referee)
THE CULT OF JESUS THE CHILD AND HIS PRAISE OF A CHILD IN REFLECTION OF SELECTED SOURCES Summary Jesus took a small child as an example of accepting the kingdom of God, since when people in all periods of Christian thinking have tried to have Jesus himself as an ideal of spiritual childhood. This has happened through literature, liturgical celebrations of feasts of the Child Jesus, paintings and popular traditions. This pursuit is the origin of the cult of the Child Jesus. This work takes its form mainly from manifestations of the cult of the Divine Infant in Czech poetry. The main inspiration are poets like Friedrich Bridel, Adam Michna z Otradovic, Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic and Jan Zahradníček. In their works these poets showed the childhood of Jesus and its cult in the most expressive way in the history of Czech literature. The content of this dissertation underlines their works and wants to highlight them. There were various attempts to give form to the childhood of Jesus and naturally they are of differing value. Since the early Christian times we have the gospels of Matthew and Luke which tell us about the childhood of Jesus. Apart from these gospels, there are two apocryphal accounts of the childhood of Jesus: the Proto-Gospel of James and the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. The Proto- Gospel of James deals...
