This study is dedicated to documenting the relationship between these two important musicians on the basis of excerpts from extant written sources. The most important documentation of contacts between Vaclav Jan Tomasek (1774-1850) and Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826), who worked in Prague from 1813 until 1817 as Kapellmeister of the Estates Theatre, is Tomaseks autobiography published in Prague in 1845-1850 in a yearbook titled Libussa. We find additional brief documentation in Weber's diaries and in the correspondence of both men addressed to other persons. Tomasek's autobiography is also important documentation of how Weber's works were viewed by the German public and music critics., Obsahuje seznam literatury, and Anglické resumé na s. 82.
The contribution explores the Prague origines of the first Prague and Austrian female author of the Enlightenment, Maria Anna Sager, born Rosskoschny (1719-1805). The reconstruction of the carreer of her father Anton Ferdinand Rosskoschny (1679-1734) at the Böhmische Statthalterei - he ended as "Registrator" and "Expeditor" - proves his social ambitions. On the other hand egodocuments of him conserved in the National Archives at Prague reveal the sorrows and the "stress" of the wellestablished fonctioner, not only his fear in front of the people, but also for his reputation, his family and his soul., Helga Meise., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Staroměstský orloj je zřejmě nejlépe zachovaný středověký orloj na světě, který dosud funguje. Tvoří součást historického centra Prahy a je zapsán na seznam kulturních památek UNESCO. Již po staletí jej provázejí děsivé legendy, které zastrašují každého, kdo by do něj chtěl nevhodným způsobem zasáhnout. Ani ty však nedokázaly zabránit potyčkám, jež se kolem orloje v současné době rozpoutaly., Michal Křížek, Jana Žďárská., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
