Monasteries in Danger. Disputes about Liquidation of Czech and Moravian Monasteries of the "Old Orders" in the Period before the Battle of White Mountain
Chládek, Oldřich ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Maur, Eduard (referee) ; x, (referee)
Liquidation of monasteries in the era of Reformations is a phenomenon which has been studied only to a certain level. There were very many cases of abolished or liquidated monasteries. The author concentrates only on two cases (Augustinian canonries in Kłodzko and Olomouc) where efforts to liquidate a monastery were met with resistance from the community or monastic structures. It is a multilayered topic, requiring a thorough analysis. Due to the fact that these disputes were interfered by a number of influential personalities (supreme provincial officials, nuncios, bishops, superiors of monastic orders etc.), it represents an ideal material to study the relationships within the high society in the era before the Battle of White Mountain. Besides the high politics we can also focus on other aspects - such as legal arguments of the conflicting parties or linguistic, art historical or theological layer. After research not only in Czech, but also in foreign archives (e.g. Rome, Kraków, Kłodzko, Wrocław, Vienna), the author refills or corrects older conclusions (Jan Tenora, Aloys Bach etc.). He also tries to verify the theory that within the Catholic Church those monasteries were abolished which were - in the economic and also spiritual layer - in a state of deep crisis.

Bohemian Town Street and House in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Era
Michálková, Lucie ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Rybák, David (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to capture the development of town street and house in the late Middle Ages and early modern period based on professional and popular literary works. Although each street and house had their own unique form, the aim of this work is to draw a typical image of both and to present a complex picture of everything that could be seen by the medieval or early modern inhabitants of the city. The first part focuses on the street, especially its appearance and life in its space. It provides information of the types and names of the streets, their general appearance and their specific features, hygiene and cleaning, and last but not least, it reveals lives of the people moving in their area and their everyday and festive activities. The second part deals with the typical house of middle-class residents, its interior and exterior, with a special focus on the house signs of the Prague houses.

Biblical Introduction in Jerome Hirnhaim's Theologia Universalis
Matějec, Tomáš ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis "Biblical Introduction in Jerome Hirnhaim's Theologia Universalis" contributes to a deeper understanding of the early modern thinking about the Holy Scripture. Theological compendium "Theologia universalis" was composed by Jerome Hirnhaim, abbot of the Premonstratensian monastery at Strahov, in the second half of the 17th century, and was used as a teaching aid for the monastic clergy. The thesis analyses the extracts from the Hirnhaim's compendium which are dedicated to the questions of relationship between Scripture and Tradition, biblical inspiration, interpretation of the biblical text and laity reading of Scripture. A comparison with Robert Bellarmine's "De Controversiis" shows that Hirnhaim's lectures were largely based on this Bellarmine's work. Numerous correspondences between the Hirnhaim's compendium and Gaspard Juénin's "Institutiones theologicae", a textbook compiled for use in the French seminaries in the nineties of the 17th century, shows a trans-national character of early modern Catholic theology and teaching practice. Differences between the early modern and current view of Scripture can be observed in the area of pas-toral practice.

Monastery of Poor Clares in Panenský Týnec from the foundation to the end of the independent existence
Hejdová, Tereza ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Zilynská, Blanka (referee)
The work The Convent of Poor Clares in Panenský Týnec maps the history of the female convent since its beginning in the end of 13th century until the year 1782, when the monastery was abolished by the reforms of the Joseph II. The focal point of the text lies in the processing of archival sources, primarily the missives of the abbesses and the responses to the different personalities on them. These materials were divided by the source-analyse into the property matter and the ecclesiastical service. These processed circuits the work tries to bring into the wider historical context. Marginally the text concerns also the unfinished convent temple, which attracts attention by its magnificence and because of him became a township Panenský Týnec very famous tourist and "esoteric" locality in the present. The bachelor's work devotes also the second live of the convent in the regional literature. It processes work of Václav Beneš Třebízský and in the particulars is demonstrated, that the writer, who is considered as the author of the historical prose, uses the monastery with its history only for the free inspiration.
