The Place of the Forest in Fourteenth- and Fifteenth-Century Literary Sources, a Czech-French-English Perspective
Turek, Matouš ; Nejedlý, Martin (advisor) ; Woitsch, Jiří (referee)
The master thesis presents and analyses a range of different ways in which the motif of the forest was treated in late-medieval literary sources as an element of thematic and compositional construction of the text. At the theoretical basis of the thesis is the concept of diachronic text reception and adaptations which bring along the transmission and simultaneous transformation of the use of topoi, while this process is being related to the development of the literary chronotopos signalizing a change in the public's horizon of expectation. The majority of sources for analysis are drawn from Czech sources of the long 14th century - courtly and chivalric romance, the Old Czech verse legend of St. Procopius and the Dalimil Chronicle - while a shorter part of the thesis is devoted to the presentation of individual tendencies in the development of the use of the forest topos in English and French literary allegory of the 14th and 15th centuries. In detailed comparison of specific passages from Old Czech texts with their actual models in other languages (Old Middle German, Latin), the thesis demonstrates, upon the example of the forest topos, that topoi do not represent fixed, inalterable clichés, but actually exhibit intense shifts in function, content and theme.

Royal castle and town Loket during the reign of the Luxembourg dynasty
Kolaříková, Kateřina ; Doležalová, Eva (advisor) ; Novotný, Robert (referee)
The Loket castle and city history begins in the High Middle Ages. The city likely started to develop in response to the importance of the castle and it's foundation/establishment is connected to the big founding wave of the king Přemysl Otakar II. From the beginning the castle was built as an important point of the royal administration and protection of the land border and it held it's importance all throughout the Middle Ages. Thus it's for example mentioned in Majesty of Charles IV. among royal castles that cannot under any circumstances be stolen or pledged to someone. Rulers of the Luxembourg dynasty played an important role in the appearance of several royal residences and cities, in addition to that Loket is connected to the short episode in the life of Charles IV. Hence the goal of this thesis is to trace down the historical development of the Loket castle and city during the rule of the Luxembourg dynasty in Czech lands, particularly the architectural and constructional transformations, connections of the burgraves of Loket, Loket's townsmen and other important local individuals to the Prague's royal court and possible personal connections of the rulers of Luxembourg dynasty to Loket.

The Dominicans in Klatovy and the Spiritual Atmosphere in the Late Middle Ages
Jindráček, Efrem
The Dominican Convent (founded 1267/1290) formed together with the Hospital of The Holy Spirit (1289) of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star, two religious institutions that enriched the religious and cultural life of Klatovy in a completely different way. In the Late of the Middle Ages, when a big part of Europe was affected by the Black Death, the plague epidemy (1347-1363) and the Papal schism (1383-1417), the Dominican Order was in serious crises (1350-1417), not only in the religious discipline, but also in the overall decline of studies, we can say – according to the conserved documents – that the Dominican community in Klatovy has done quite well, perhaps very well. Until the 15th century, it enjoyed the admiration of local benefactors, burghers and influential nobility, provably developed a sermon and study, its members found among bishops, papal chaplains, inquisitors and professors of theology. The later non-conformist attitudes towards the Hussitism and long-term survival in an organized exile phase along with the catholic minority from Klatovy, even after the destruction of the proper convent (1419), show a considerable Dominican identity and the determination of its members.
