Further records show fi rst of all Štampach’s travel unknown up to now to the Imperial Diet in Regensburg in the year 1594 and his short journey at the university in Altdorf and in the imperial city of Nuremberg at the turn of the years 1598/1599, revealing in this way contacts and fortunes of this less known nobleman.

The aim of the thesis is to analyse office reform which was implemented in the first two decades of the 20th century in the environment of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. As its beginnings are bound up with District Office in Oberhollabrunn (nowadays Hollabrunn) situated in Lower Austria it is commonly reffered to as so-called Oberhollabrunn system, eventually as Low-Austria system or also Kielmansegg reform. In 1905 its utilisation was spread to all district offices in Lower Austria and it was implemented in one of the offices in Halič, in Přímoří and in Moravia as well. On the basis of an in practice tried and tested norm it was searched for a way of how to improve officework also at provincial offices (governorships). Therefore for example Prague's office of the second instance of state administration acceded to their own form of solution. According to its author this variant bears the denomination Raprrich's system. The introductory part of the presented thesis is dedicated to the analysis of the literature concerning modern diplomatics in the context of the office reforms. A particular chapter is an elaboration on the methods of modern diplomatics and their applications in the research of the office reform as itself. The third chapter represents the transformation of the administration on the level...

The present work deals with confirmations that have issued Bohemian kings and princes of Silesia to Bohemian or Silesian towns. The work is divided into five parts. The first deals with existing exploration and methodological inspiration that I subsequently used. The second chapter summarizes the findings regarding the process of confirmation documents - from motives of its release, through the process of the documents in the office during the procedure, to handing over the finished instrument beneficiaries and paying taxes. Then I deal with the various types of confirmations and also I discuss separately the observational charters. The third part is devoted confirmations for the Bohemian towns with regard to all documents which the royal towns received, published by Bohemian kings. The problems are discussed from the perspective of publishers and recipients, as well as the documents themselves (their content, form). The same shall apply also in the case of the fourth chapter, which deals with the same aspects of the Silesian towns and confirmations, which they were received. The final chapter summarizes the findings, which I reached on the previous pages. An important part of this thesis is a variety of reports and graphs to better perceive the immediate context and development trends. I also deal with...

Ve své disertační práci s názvem Pražská arcibiskupská konsistoř v letech 1780 - 1790 (se zvláštním zřetelem k jejím tištěným písemnostem) se zabývám odrazem církevněpolitických (in publico-ecclesiasticis) a náboženských reforem císaře Josefa II. v tištěných písemnostech pražské arcibiskupské konsistoře v období let 1780-1790, uložených v Národním archivu v Praze ve fondu s názvem Archiv pražského arcibiskupství, jakož i dopadem těchto reforem na vlastní chod arcidiecéze, konsistoře a její kanceláře. Jako protiklad k těmto písemnostem jsem zvolila stručný rozbor papežských listin Pia VI. (1775-1799), adresovaných pražskému arcibiskupovi Antonínu Petru hraběti Příchovskému (1764-1793) a vyhotovených ve formě bul nebo breve. Základní přílohou mé disertace je Regestář všech tištěných konsistorních a vybraných ostatních písemností v náboženských a církevněpolitických záležitostech, vydaných za vlády Josefa II. (1512 záznamů).

Some of the most characteristic materials are presented in the thesis through the catalogues and editions.

The submitted thesis aims to scan the written communication among the city councils of royal towns in the period before the Battle of the White Mount, particularly the correspondence among the New Town of Prague and Royal Towns in the Central Part of Polabí, explicitly Český Brod, Kolín, Kouřim, Kutná Hora and Nymburk. The research was based mainly on 20 town registers of the period and on the extant scripts which enabled me to set up both the communication process and particular agents. Thus we were offered the insight into the townhall, its offices, circumstances of the origin of missivs, we observed individual characters and institutions involved in the negotiation procedures. We came across the issue of messenger service mediating the delivery and last but not least we were concerned about receiving correspondence, its interpretation at the time and the content of discussed matters. Another issue we dealt with was the terminology ie. definition of written communication, diplomacy terminology, especially register issue defined as supplemental office book in publishers'offices containing the office scripts. The written communication of the perion represents just one component of wide range of ties occuring in the corporate society. The most significant role was represented by the city council the...

The work gives a detailed presentation about occurrence of manuscripts as well as printed books and libraries in Kolín and its surrounding since the establishment of the town until the 18th century, if records about them were preserved, or they exist till now. Only a few records concerning the library culture were preserved from the early history of Kolín. Manuscripts were found in Dominican Monastery. Despite the first mentioning of separate books only in the 14th century, we may assume them already earlier - it concerns mainly donations of books to some altars of the Saint. Bartholomew's Church in Kolín. Richer occurrence is only recorded in the 16th century when we already have quotations of specific book titles in the records of Kolín burghers, or their private libraries are mentioned here. At his time books are not only copied in Kolín but also written; authors are burghers or local dean. 17th century then brings a message about a library on the Kolín presbytery, private libraries of Kolín deans and libraries of newly established monasteries in Kolín and Zásmuky. 18th century is not abundant in records about libraries because a book becomes an expensive property, its value goes down and records of Kolín burghers include descriptions of the library only rarely.
