Prague coronation of king Matthias on 23rd may 1611 in the light of contemporary documents
Pařízková, Kateřina ; Holá, Mlada (advisor) ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee)
To the coronations which took place in Pre-White time, not enough attention has been paid yet. As it appears, enough accounts were preserved not only in contemporary prints but also in manuscript sources - in the works of chroniclers, in memories of persons present and above all in official and private correspondence. In addition to writen sources also material sorces and great part of iconographic sources have been preserved. The elaboration and evaluation of the sources to one of them, to the coronation of Matthias of Habsburg in Prague on May 23rd 1611, is a subject of the first half of this thesis. The coronation in the life of souvereign is a ceremony that generally certificates his leading position in the country. This ceremony customary is executed in accordance to the prede- terminated order.

The Language of Old Czech Manuscripts of The Coronation Order of Charles IV
Jamborová, Martina
The Coronation Order of Charles IV was first issued in Latin (Ordo ad coronandum regem Bohemorum) and translated into Old Czech after the mid-14th century. Only copies of both the Latin and Old Czech wordings have survived. The earliest remaining Old Czech manuscript of The Coronation Order of Charles IV dates from 1396. It is apt to view the text of The Coronation Order of Charles IV as a written fixation of the intended ideal form of the coronation ceremony. In fact, it is a mass liturgy text. Despite many translation pitfalls, the Old Czech translation of the coronation order is welll done. The individual variant manuscripts give evidence of the historical development of the Czech language, show respect towards the original, and singularly bring interesting individual adjustments to the wording. The language of the Old Czech translation of the coronation order undoubtedly enriched medieval Czech.
