Until now, the Latin Gradual and Hymn book from the beginning of the 16th century (Kutná Hora, České muzeum stříbra, shelf-mark 88/85), failed to raise the interest of musicologists. The main aim of this article is listing the polyphonic compositions not registered by the catalogue RISM B IV, 3–4. Even if the quality of writing of these polyphonic Mss. is low, it is an important source, containing several compositions (and contrafacta) which do not appear in other Bohemian sources of the same period.
The aim of this paper is to present the French historian Victor-Lucien Tapié, drawing on the years he spent in Bohemia with emphasis on translations of his writings and their reception. We focus on three main themes that pervade his work: people, nation and empire. We also consider his studies in art history, the Baroque and Classicism, and, related to this, his personal conception of the ‘history of civilization’.
Díky výborné spolupráci Akademie věd ČR a Velvyslanectví USA navštívil Českou republiku v rámci popularizace vědy opět jeden z nejzkušenějších amerických astronautů Andrew Feustel. Cílem jeho programu byly přednášky, besedy a diskuze se studenty a širokou veřejností. Prof. Eva Zažímalová, předsedkyně AV ČR, která nám v této souvislosti poskytla rozhovor, k tomu dodává: "Považujeme za skvělé, že se nám daří popularizovat vědu třeba i tím, že do Česka zveme významné světové osobnosti - a takovou osobností Andrew Feustel bezesporu je." and Jana Žďárská, Eva Zažímalová.
In Vienna, Josef Hlávka is mainly remembered as one of the most successful architects and builders of the 1860s. In a period of ten years from the 1860 to the 1870, he designed and built almost 150 buildings. One of the most significant achievements is the Vienna Opera which he built at the request of Emperor Franz Joseph I during the period of 1863-1869. The Emperor was very pleased with it and presented him with a special prize. and Josef Pechar, Marina Hužvárová.
