Dospěl, Marek ; Bárta, Miroslav (advisor) ; Ast, Rodney (referee) ; Coppens, Filip (referee)
MAREK DOSPĚL Bīr Shawīsh, Small Oasis: Ostraka and Other Inscribed Material ABSTRACT The present dissertation is primarily a publication of a group of primary sources. These sources come from the recent archaeological exploration by Charles University in Prague of the site of Bīr Shawīsh in the Baḥrīya Oasis ("Small Oasis" in Classical Antiquity) in Egypt's Western Desert and consist of inscribed material written in Hellenistic Greek or koinē. Their majority belongs in the family of documentary texts, while a smaller group consists of informal inscriptions. Both texts and inscriptions are written or incised on fired potter's clay supports and can be dated to around 400 CE. The core of this dissertation consists of an annotated edition of these texts and inscriptions (Chapter 3), immediately followed by a synthetic and interpretative Chapter 4 in which the cardinal issues inherent to the published material are treated in detail. An important part of the edition are the analytical indices and appendices. Chapter 1 serves as a general introduction to the work; Chapter 2 presents the historical and archaeological context of the edited inscribed material. The dissertation ends with Reference Bibliography and Plates of individual text-bearing artifacts. This work is the first comprehensive treatment of a group of...

Michlová, Kristýna ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor) ; Palkosková, Olga (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with a complex research of tomb inscriptions located in cemeteries in micro-region Poličsko. It specifies and characterizes the researched region and defines its history. Besides dealing with an appearance of cemeteries, graves and tombstones all inscriptions are classified by a location on a tombstone and topic. The research also carries out the analysis of their content and introduces quotations from the Bible, extracts of songs and poems, statements of famous people written on tombstones and identifies their sources. Moreover it also analyzes German inscriptions on the graves in the researched field and compares them with the same age Czech inscriptions. My paper presents foreign language inscriptions in original forms, and translates them into Czech language. Last but not least it writes down the tomb inscriptions in their accurate form. KEYWORDS tombstones, inscriptions, Poličsko, cemetries, graves

Antiquity in the Inscriptive Culture of the Czech Lands
Kepartová, Jana
Author informs of the database that will contain inscriptions from the Czech lands that have something to do with antiquity. The aim of this longterm project is to gradually document and analyse the heritage of antiquity in the epigraphic culture of the Czech Lands from the first inscriptive documents to the present, regardless of whether or not the heritage is conscious or unconscious. The outcome of the entire project will be studies on 'Nachleben / the second life' of the ancient world in inscriptions in the Czech Lands, i.e. an area to which insufficient attention has been paid so far. Only in this phase of the project will the ways that antiquity had been getting into Czech inscriptions be studied. This second life of antiquity in our country will be confronted with the heritage of antiquity in the epigraphic culture of other Central European countries.
