Vede Výzkumné centrum Dvory a rezidence ve středověku, píše odborné knihy o životě na středověkých dvorech a překládá veršované eposy ze staré němčiny 13. století. Zároveň si však umí ušít středověké šaty dobovou technikou nebo vyzkoušet vaření podle dochovalých středověkých receptů. Bádání v historických pramenech i méně obvyklé experimentální přistupy pomáhají Daně Dvořáčkové-Malé z Historického ústavu AV ČR lépe pochopit vytyčený objekt věděckého zájmu - každodenní život panovníckých dvorů a obyvatel středověku. and Leona Matušková, Stanislava Kyselová, Václav Kořínek.
The article presents two likely and so far unknown compilers of the third edition of Koniáš’s Key from 1770. Their names have been revealed by a handwritten note in a copy that was originally a part of the library of the private collector Josef Bartsch (1731-1803). Concerning the first figure, the Jesuit Josef Kögler, the treatise describes his career in the Jesuit Order and the posts that he held. In the case of his co-worker Jan Kohout, the text outlines the possible connections that might help identify him precisely. and David Mach.
Poezie světla, mystičnost i melanchonie - slova, tkerá si patrně všichni spojujeme s jedním z nejvyznamějších českých fotografů, Josefem Sudkem (1896-1976). Jeho práce se světlem, absolultní smysl pro kompozici a talent zobrazit obyčejný předmět neobyčejně, putavě až magicky dodává fotografiiím nenapodobitelný náboj. Je obdivuhodné, že to platí i pro jím vyhotovené komerční zakázky. and Gabriela Adámková, Josef Sudek.
The article summarises the known information about the life of the politician and significant bibliophile Veit Ulrich Marschall von Ebnet (ca 1565 - ca 1625). Based on the provenance research into Lipník nad Bečvou and Mikulov castle libraries, the National Museum Library and other collections as well as auction catalogues, the paper lists the identified books from his library, describes Marschall’s armorial bindings and other provenance marks, on the basis of which it attempts to characterise the content of this extraordinary library. and Miroslav Koudela, Petr Mašek.
The article draws on the list of separate manuscripts and manuscripts forming part of binders’ volumes coming from the library of the Domažlice Augustinians, a component of the first volume of the Soupis rukopisů Studijní a vědecké knihovny Plzeňského kraje v Plzni [A Compendium of the Manuscripts from the Education and Research Library of the Pilsener Region in Pilsen (Plzeň 2006)]. Since the first and at the same time last description of the library comes from as early as 1950, when the book collection was taken over by the State Education Library in Pilsen, we attempted to study the development of the Augustinian book collection on the basis of indirect sources, such as mainly books of accounts and ownership notes in extant printed books and manuscripts. From the original ca 4,000 volumes, only 272 volumes have been preserved in the Education and Research Library of the Pilsener Region (ERLPR) to this day; two separate manuscripts and 16 manuscripts forming part of binders’ volumes from the 17th-19th centuries have been described in the above-mentioned compendium; two manuscripts that were bound to other manuscripts come from a nearby convent in Pivoň. A noteworthy piece among the literary texts preserved in Prague archives is a manuscript fragment of a Czech play containing a dialogue between two merchants taking place at the Pilsen market, which comes from the second half of the 18th century, or the attempt of the Pivoň Augustinian Bruno Knez to write and even publish the history of his convent from 1753, which may be considered as the first printed monastic monograph from West Bohemia. and Jaromír Linda.
