Art in an unsettled time. Bohemian book illumination before Gutenberg (c. 1375-1450)
Studničková, Milada ; Theisen, M.
Thirteen studies in English and German bring new insights into a number of masterpieces of Bohemian book painting, which have been examined so far mainly from a stylistic point of view. The book also acquaints the readers with unknown or little-known manuscripts. The publication illustrates how the turbulent end of the 14th century and the socio-political changes of the Hussite period influenced the form of manuscript production. The researches, inter alia, focus on the relationship between text and image, the function of the depiction, the mass productin of manuscripts, and the question of what Hussite iconography is.

Illuminated Manuscripts from the Monastery of Augustinian Canons in Roudnice nad Labem from the Second Third of the 14th Century
Gaudek, Tomáš ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (referee) ; Studničková, Milada (referee)
The house of canons regular in Roudnice nad Labem was founded 1333 by John IV of Dražice after his return from Avignon. It was a very important and richly supported monastery, which is demonstrated besides other things by the younger fragment of necrologium, dated 1458-1464 (State Regional Archive in Třeboň, fond Velkostatek Třeboň, registratura IA 3K β 28e). The thesis deals with the Bohemian illuminated manuscripts from the 2nd third of the 14th century from the library from Roudnice, which is quite unique between all the Bohemian houses of regular canons for the high percentage of illuminated manuscripts. The Missale of John of Dražice ( KNM XIII B 9) is an excellent example of some high quality manuscript in the time around 1340 in Bohemia. The ornamental initials show parallels to the recent Western European style. One of them, VD initial on the folio 57r, is filled by the coat-of-arms of the Dražice family, gold wine sprig with three leafs in the red field. But the most interesting is the canon leaf (65r), a classical representative of Central European linear style. The leaf was glued to its place. The same praxis we see in the slightly younger Missale of Chotěšov Monastery (NK XIV C 3). The canon leaf from Chotěšov (185v) is more delicate in its colors and forms, distinctly knowledgeable of...

Written inheritance of Elizabeth Richenza and her illumination workshop
VELICKÁ, Olga
Among the works of older Czech literature, we can find not only the texts with entertaining character, but also the philosophical, theological, educational, legal and liturgical texts. In this work, I will occupy myself with the liturgical texts, namely with the form of the collection of manuscripts from Staré Brno. The primary aim of my bachelor{\crq}s work "Written Inheritance of Elizabeth Richenza and her Illumination Workshop" is to introduce readers to the origination and form of all nine extant manuscripts from Staré Brno, to set these manuscripts into the painting context of the 14th century and to evaluate the cultural and aesthetical exceptionality of this important work of art. Where we do not know the exact date of origination of the individual manuscripts, I try to determine it. In addition, I also focus on the building development of the Cistercian Cloister Aula Sanctae Mariae in Staré Brno and on the person of founder of this cloister, Queen Elizabeth Richenza. The work is limited by the years 1288 and 1335.
