In the Middle Ages, Pseudo-Aristotelian Secretum secretorum was an exceptionally widespread text, both in Latin and vernacular versions. It was a thematically varied treatise, a kind of sum of knowledge, containing information from statecraft, natural sciences, medicine and health science. The main attention of the study is focused on the spread of this treatise in medieval Bohemia. It follows not only its manuscript preservation and its context, but also the milieu in which this text was received, or which parts were received in the given, specific milieu. An important theme is also the translations into Czech and the reception of this treatise in texts written in Czech., Pavlína Cermanová., and Obsahuje poznámky pod čarou
The presented study is devoted to the phenomenon of the counterfeiting activity of Oldřich II of Rožmberk (Rosenberg, 1403-1462), particularly newly discovered forgeries and their interpretations. The motivation to create the forgeries was not ony legitimation of the holding of unjustly seized royal properties, but also the creation of the "image" of a fearless warrior against the Hussite opposition. The author combines diplomatic and historical methods to understand the background of creation of the three groups of forgeries related to the royal castle Zvíkov, the ecclesiastical goods of Svéráz and Zátoň and the trial with the nobleman Jan Smil of Křemže., Přemysl Bar., and Obsahue prameny a odkazy pod čarou
This paper aims to describe the production of minor items, mostly dress accessories, from non-ferrous metals on a market square to understand how the organization of space looked like and to get an insight of chaînes d’opératoires. Base for this research are numerous production waste finds from excavations which were conducted in Wroclaw at New Market Square – a place which fulfils a role of a market square since the 2nd half of the 13th century to this day. The paper focus on spatial analysis of finds based on proposed ‘typology’of metal scraps in relation to organization of similar production in the whole medieval city. and Článek se zabývá drobnými artefakty (především oděvními aplikacemi) z neželezných kovů, jež pocházejí z prostoru náměstí Nowy Targ ve Vratislavi. Předmětem výzkumu je početný soubor výrobního odpadu z druhé poloviny 13. a ze 14. století. Článek se zaměřuje na prostorovou analýzu různých typologických skupin kovového odpadu ve formě odstřižků a úlomků, a to s přihlédnutím k dokladům obdobné produkce v rámci celého města. Vypracovaná typologie předmětů slouží jako východisko studia funkčního uspořádání tržního prostranství a tzv. operačního řetězce výroby.
This study examines a polycultural site Hradiště u Louky located in southwestern Moravia. The main aim is to introduce a new archaeological and historical model based on data from the surface survey, metal detecting and probing. Mainly non-destructive methods were used in this research. A new settlement phase from Jevišovice culture was documented. The onset of Medieval settlement in the area most likely dates to post-Great Moravian and Late Hillfort periods. The most intensive anthropogenic activities date to the high Medieval period when a small castle fortified by a moat and a rampart was built. Archaeological artefacts from the younger phase of the Medieval settlement possess chronological features of the 2 nd half of the 13 th and the 1 st third of the 15 th century. Also, to clarify the sequence of the owners of the castle and possible causes of its demise, a revision of written accounts was performed., Jaroslav Bartík, Lenka Běhounková, Stanislav Vohryzek, Josef Jan Kovář, Hana Poláchová, Michaela Kokojanová, Hana Nohálová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Post-Great Moravia occupation of hillfort Staré zámky u Líšně. This article deal with the settlement of hillfort Staré zámky u Líšně after the fall of Great Moravia. The main object of this work is the verification of published information on the basis of new analyses of settlement components and archaeological artefacts. The settlement of the 10th - 11th century can be divided in two main periods. There is a small amount of evidence for human occupation until the 12th century., Libor Kalčík., Německé resumé., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Archaeological research in 2015 in the interior of St. Cross church in Javornik brought new knowledge about its construction and historical development. The oldest floor level was probably identified. It appears that during the Hussite campaign in 1428 the building was damaged and subsequently repaired. We also managed to identify and date the next three floor levels, building of new church entrances, and also alterations of the interior - construction of baptistery (no longer exists), side altars, construction and subsequent demolition of the gallery and singer‘s tribune. Graves were also investigated. Five skeletons were found in burial pits and 2 skeletons in brick tombs., Peter Kováčik, Veronika Dudková, Hana Lafková., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
