The aim of the present paper is to delineate the translation and editorial activities of Maximos Planudes (Manuel Planoudes, ca. 1255-1305), important figure of the Early Palaeologan Renaissance, with an emphasis on the mapping of motivations for such projects. Translations of Maximos Planudes were mainly concentrated on Roman ancient texts with strong ties to moral philosophy: Catonis Disticha, Cicero, Macrobius. Reflecting Planudes' editorial and translation activities relating to ancient Greek and Roman literature (among philological and theological works of his own) one must consider him as the most important representative of the Byzantine humanism...

The family of Olomouc burgesses the Salczars is at least for scholars dealing with medieval Olomouc well known. This is one of the reasons why it is an ideal sample for analysis of self-representation and formation of social structure of the spectrum of burgess society, which shows particular traits of elite behaviour. The family could overstep its social position because of a good financial situation. The main aspect in the evaluation of self-representation was especially tracking of economic status of individual members of the family, which mirrored in their immovable property. The Salczars, especially during the times of Lucas I. Salczar, had indeed...

The Austrian chancellor Metternich faced the Rhine Crisis and the problem of Schleswig-Holstein during the 1840s. Both of those crises influenced The German Confederation as well as Austria. It was especially German nationalism which became prevalent and which partially threatened peace created after the Napoleonic wars. Metternich tried to settle the problems with all his might and he tried to prevent a war conflict. His peaceful policy of appeasement indicated that the Habsburg monarchy was not sufficiently strong in case of a war and it would not have had an ally.

The conclusion of unequal treaties with Western Powers caused unrest in Japan. Adherents of the sonno joi movement demanded expulsion of the foreigners and return of the political power into the hands of the Emperor.

The most important of these incidents was a murder of British merchant Charles Richardson by radical samurai from the Satsuma Domain. British representatives demanded a payment of indemnity for this act and a punishment of the culprits. The ruling Tokugawa bakufu was however reluctant to yield because...

The focus is especially paid to the long collaboration, which was established at the beginning of the 1970's between the non-formal leader of the reforming communist exiles in the west, Jiří Pelikán, and the leader of the French Socialistic party and later...
