History of Římov pilgrimage site
ŠRUBAŘ, Štěpán
The thesis describes the history of the foundation of pilgrimage site Římov in southern Bohemia in the 17th century that could be build thanks to a donation of the local farm to the Jesuit College in Krumlov. The most significant proponents were a Capuchin monk Alex and a Jesuit lay brother John Gurre. The area consists of a chapel built in close resemblance to the Italian model of Holy House in Loreto and a Way of Sorrows designed as a copy of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. The work shows the significance of sacred architecture in the life of Christians in the 17th century. The role of fraternities and Marian spirituality in traditional piety of Catholics of that period is also mentioned. Based on the regular annual reports sent by every Jesuit College, unusual events accompanying the first decades of the shrine as well as the economic issues of the Jesuit residence are described.

Literary work at the Jesuit academy in Olomouc in the years 1597-1598 and its reflection in print production
Vaculínová, Marta
In the years 1597–1598, a large increase in Latin prints, especially poetry, can be observed in Olomouc’s printed production. Their authors are mostly connected with the Jesuit Academy in Olomouc. Researchers have noticed this strange phenomenon in the past, but it has not yet been satisfactorily explained. The article aims to find out the cause of this unusual „creative wave“. It is most probably due to a hitherto unknown personality, about whom we know more thanks to the research of Polish researchers – the Jesuit professor of poetry Johann Clingerius from Thuringia (1557?–1610), who taught at the Jesuit Academy during that period. On his initiative and with the support of Bishop Stanislav Pavlovský, more than thirty poetry prints were published by Jiří Handl and the heirs of Friedrich Milichthaler. Clingerius published his poems anonymously, under pseudonyms or under the names of others. He did not only profile himself as a poet, mastered graphic techniques and influenced the decoration of Olomouc prints. In addition, the appendix contains a bibliography of Latin poetry publications between 1597–1598.

Rohlová, Kateřina Jenny ; Labus, David (advisor) ; Sýkora, Jan (referee)
This work deals with the person of Alessandro Valignano and his missionary work in the Far East with an emphasis on the mission in Japan during years 1574-1603. The aim is to explain his approach to both Japanese culture and people and his methods of mission management which leaded to the biggest promotion of the Church in Japan during so called "Christian Century" that overlaps with three dynamic periods of Japanese history - warring states, unification and the beginning of Tokugawa shogunate. Moreover, the influence of foreigners on Japanese culture and science is analyzed together with an emphasis on the universality of Valignano's thoughts applicable nowadays as well.
