Součková, Ema ; Kubík, Viktor (advisor) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
Oldtown's gradual The aim of this work is a monographic elaboration of the Oldtown's gradual (XVII.A.40), from 1561 to 1567, in the context of the work of Jan Taborsky of Klokotska Hora, with the emphasis on connotation of Žlutice gradual. The work elaborates and critically appraises the literature about the genesis and decor, deeply analyses its illuminations (through formal and iconographic analysis) and gives basic orientation in questions of analogies of its decor. Another goal of this work is a summarization of the decor of Oldtown's gradual and elaborated analysis of its illuminations. Oldtown's gradual is one of the best Renaissance manuscripts. The penman was Jan Taborsky of Klokotska Hora; chapter 2.1. deals with his life and production. Matous Ornys of Lindperk was the limner; chapter 2.2. deals with his work. Indisputably, he belongs to the best limners of the 16th century. The decor of the gradual is described in the chapter 4.2. Illuminations of gradual have conventional scheme of choral manuscripts. A lot of analogies are to be found in the medieval and also Renaissance manuscripts. There are elements of medieval literary paintwork, but also fully Renaissance elements: perfect linear perspective and high-quality scenery. Oldtown's gradual is one of the most beautiful and one of the...

Graduals from the Workshop of Jan Táborský of Klokotská Hora
Součková, Ema ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Brodský, Pavel (referee) ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (referee)
The dissertation focuses on the decoration of 16th century choral manuscripts. The first part is devoted to the person of Jan Táborský of Klokotská Hora (1499-1572) who was a scribe and an owner of a scribe manufactory, and to the most significant illuminators of the the 16th century who contributed to the decoration of songbooks in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown. Attention is given not only to the illuminators to whom Jan Táborský of Klokotská Hora assigned the work and whose contribution can be inferred from the documents or stylistic analysis of their illuminations, but also to their contemporaries. Besides the frequently mentioned Fabián Puléř, we can assume that Jan Taborský also collaborated with Matouš Ornys of Lindperk, Matyáš Hutský of Křivoklát, Ambrož Ledecký and, presumably, others. In this context, one part of the thesis is focused on engravings by Martin Schongauer, Albrecht Dürer, Bernard Salomon and on the domestic prints by George Melantrich the Elder, as these engravings, mostly woodcuts, served as patterns and inspiration for almost every Bohemian illuminator. Themes found in this type of manuscript are mostly based on Biblical stories, corresponding to the feasts of the liturgical year. In addition to these themes, the graduals contain many miniatures associated with various...

The Litomysl Gradual Illuminated by Matous Ornys of Lindperk
Moučková, Barbora ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
keywords: Litomysl Gradual, Matous Ornys of Lindperk, 16th Century, Bohemia, literary guilds of fraternities The main aim of the thesis is a monograph of the Litomysl Gradual of 1561-63 within the context of the works of Matous Ornys of Lindperk. In addition to the critical analysis of the resources dealing with this subject, the thesis also monitors the works and the individual cultural and historical connections to the manuscript, with particular focus on the donators - literary guilds of fraternities, whose role and position within the community of a modern- period town are dealt with in further detail. The emphasis is put on the specifics conditional upon their ultraquist denominational affiliation and the corporate nature of the order. After placing the work within the cultural and historical context, the author of the thesis performs the basic codicological analysis of the manuscript structure, followed by the detailed description of the bookbinding, and an iconographic analysis of the internal decoration of the gradual, the latter focusing on both the motives embedded in the historiated initials as well as the motives of the border decoration. The tracing of the relations between the illuminations and other graduals forms the important part of the formal and comparative analysis of the...
