Marian devotion in Bohemia after the Battle of White Mountain: example of the work of J. I. Dlouhoveský
Smyčková, Kateřina ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Sládek, Miloš (referee)
This thesis engages in the Marian cult in Bohemia in the second half of the 17th century. The first, general part is the characteristic of the Marian devotion with the secondary literature, followed by a chapter on Czech prints with the Marian theme (1650-1750). The base of the thesis is the analysis of the work of J. I. Dlouhoveský (1638-1701). The analysis focuses on some forms of the Marian cult: pilgrimage, cult of saints (especially of Bohemian patrons), Marian devotion in the Habsburg dynasty and a folk piety. The last chapter deals with the literary self-presentation of Dlouhoveský (example of the Marian devotee). The appendix consists of the inventory of all works of Dlouhoveský, and of the graphs that summarize information about the Marian prints (1650-1750).

Forms of conceit in Daniel Nitschʼs sermons
Pechová, Michaela ; Škarpová, Marie (advisor) ; Smyčková, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of two sermons, selected from the postil Berla královská Jezu Krista (1709), delivered by a Jesuit preacher Daniel Nitsch (1651-1709), mainly from the perspective of its affiliation to the new Art of Eloquence (ars nova eloquentiae). The two analyzed preachments are the sermon delivered on the Septuagesima Sunday and the preaching from the fifth Sunday after Easter. The analysis concentrates primarily on the compositional devices through which the individual sections of the sermons are connected. The aim of this thesis is to present various conceptual components employed by Nitsch in the preachments.

The process of forming a song canon in 17th and 18th century hand-written hymn-books
Smyčková, Kateřina ; Škarpová, Marie (advisor) ; Malura, Jan (referee) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
This dissertation thesis follows on the contemporary research focused on the early modern manuscript culture.

Some of the hymnals are accompanied by musical notation and a large number of them are beautiful illuminated. However, they have never been made accessible through modern edition, and there are hardly any analytical studies concerning these hymnbooks. The opening chapter summarizes the existing research on the given topic. It is followed by the description of approximately forty manuscript hymnals. The next chapter concentrates on some specific qualities of the manuscript publication and focuses on the song repertoire. The third chapter further develops the general theses. It is devoted to four manuscript hymnals from the sixties and the seventies of the 17th century.

This chapter concentrates on the song repertoire, relations to older hymnals and the song canon. The fourth chapter focuses on two specific groups of songs: the...
