The author of the study analysed 16 selected narrative sources from the Czech lands. His aim was to attempt to present how the relationship of two social groups (nobility and burghers) had been changing from the point of view of chroniclers. To illustrate the relationship between the aristocracy and the towns, three chronicles have proven to be the most helpful sources: Chronicle of Dalimil (Kronika tak řečeného Dalimila), Chronicle of Zbraslav (Zbraslavská kronika) and Old Czech Annals (Staré letopisy české). For the so-called Dalimil, it was the attitude towards Germans that was decisive for the assessment of social groups. He highlighted the nobles...

Based on the excerpt from the annual reports, the study brings a list of celebrants and preachers who were invited to celebrate the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis Xavier to Telč (Jesuit Church of the Name of Jesus) between the years 1700-1740. It focuses on celebrations of the feast taking place in the House of the Third Probation, where the Jesuits were preparing to make their final promises and where, as we suppose, the cult of Jesuits saints could be even more alive than in other colleges. The article shows that both roles - both the preachers and the celebrants of the celebratory/famous mass - were usually assigned by the rectors...

Parish and dean libraries and their development during the 19th century are very specific and it is closely related to the involvement of priests into the process of national revival. The clergy is the representant of the country intelligence and it is given a new role of national revisionists and they are made to find their own position between their devotion to the church and the devotion to their nation. With the rise in quantity and quality of books, changes were undergoing in the libraries, which are traceable in clerical libraries as well. For that matter, many of those are coming into existence during the 19th century. The dean library of František...

The Czechs in Croatia have been raising the interest of Czech researchers (historians and ethnologists) for a long time. According to my research, there is not a comprehensive work among the up now compiled works which would deal with expatriate Czechs and which would capture the complex past and presence of the Czech minority in Croatia. There are partial studies in generally focused monographical works or qualification works, which, due to the shortness of research visits, can bring information about Croatian Czechs in a simplified or in a misleading manner. The absence of the attempt to emic approach towards the studied topics and minimal extraction...

Since its establishment, Czechoslovakia faced disfavour not only from its neighbours, but also from an important segment of the population within its own borders. This led to the fact that even though it managed to preserve its democratic character throughout the interwar period, at the same time, it had a relatively sophisticated and powerful intelligence apparatus falling under several ministries, which should have prevented monopolization of power. Czechoslovak security forces kept an overview of the most important groups and representatives of Russian emigration. In general, all emigrant groups were closely observed, including the Russian ones,...

The District Court in Jeseník represented an example of a legal workplace in a frontier affected by a post-war transfer of inhabitants. The office had to deal with a lack of personnel and material and it was overloaded especially with a retributive agenda during the studied period. A part of the staffs consisted of people who did not posses a prior legal experience. Unsuitable living and transportation conditions with the occupational workload lead to disciplinary actions in some cases. The lack of supervisor staff caused occasional prison breaks. In the studied period, we can observe centralization of the agenda into the seat of the political district...
