This diploma thesis deals with education in early modern period, especially at universities, which is related to the issue of grand tours. It is mainly focused on the Wittenberg University, where Jakub Popovický of Popovice studied and whose album amicorum is the subject of this thesis.

In the edition of the Wittenberg University Register we will also search for other students from Bohemia and Moravia and we will try to gather information about them from various sources (for example from their alba amicorum, diaries or literature) to understand where they came from to Wittenberg, their social structure, their lives and subsequent careers.
