- Description:
- The illuminated manuscripts in Zittau are only known to some extent. The two-volume Vesperale and Matutinale (A I, A VI) from the second decade of the fifteenth century was created for the Karlov Augustinian Monastery in Prague. The painted decoration is the work of the Master of the Hasenburg Missal, who represents the highest stage of fine style. The Missal of the Prague Diocese (A VII) is from the early fifteenth century. The decoration is the work of two illuminators, led by the Master of the Roudnice Psalter, although the share of the second illuminator - the Master of Paul's Gospel – is more extensive. Hitherto unknown is the Antiphonary (A IV) from the second decade of the fifteenth century. The small share of the primary illuminator is based on the Master of the Antwerp Bible. The Zittau Gradual (A III) is dated 1512; its primary illuminator was Janíček Zmilelý of Písek. The Gradual (A V) was created in 1435 for the parish church in Zittau by commander of the Commenda of Johannites Johann Gottfried von Goldbergu. The decoration was evidently created in Vratislav by the Master of the Bible of Banken. The Vesperal and Matutinal (A II) from the end of the fifteenth century was perhaps designated for the Commenda of Johannites in Zittau. The decoration is Saxon work.

3. K významu drolerií ve středověkých rukopisech

- Subject:
- Drôleries, illuminated manuscripts, and Middle ages
- Language:
- Multiple languages
- Description:
- In the culminating and late middle ages funny scenes, the so called drôleries, appear in the borders of illuminated manuscripts. Th eir problems are not explained completely; they seem to contain hidden spiritual meanings. Besides singing birds, which are symbols of the unearthly sphere, fi gures appear most oft en who were taken as negative in middle-ages – owls, apes, beasts of prey, dragons, and clowns. Th e fi gures of antique mythology were perceived as negative too; the cults connected with them were perceived as demoniacism by the Christian society. Drôleries are usually placed in borders which are decorated with an acanth. Th e acanth in time became a symbol of victory over death. It can be also interpreted as Christ´s crown of thorns. In this way the spirit of medieval symbolism indicated that negative forces are driven to the margin and defeated by Christ´s victim.

7. Mezi Itálií, Čechami a Uhrami. Iluminované rukopisy ze severní Itálie z pohledu panovnické reprezentace, stylu a umělecké výměny ve dvorském prostředí

- Subject:
- illuminated manuscripts, Bologna, Nekcsei Bible, Anjou Legendary, Paris fragment of the Latin translation of the Dalimil Chronicle, and Lando di Antonio
- Language:
- Multiple languages
- Description:
- This article focuses upon the expansion of Italianism into Central Europe in the 14th century in lluminated manuscripts. It deals with selected manscripts of what are known as the Nekcsei Bible, the Anjou Legendary and the Paris fragment of the Latin translation of the Dalimil Chronicle. These illuminated manuscripts are similar in that they may all have been imported to Central Europe from Italy (Bologna) and the possibility arises that their production for the Central European region could somehow have been coordinated. Whereas in the case of the Hungarian orders the clients most probably referred to a single illuminators´ workshop. In the case of the Paris fragment there is only an indirect association with this workshop.
