Jsme si blíž, ale jsme si i dál. I v našem oboru, zvlášť v sociálních dějinách, se velký odstup od konkrétního života v minulosti řeší návratem k vyprávění, k životnímu příběhu, který prohlubuje poznatky o do- bovou atmosféru, o vyznávané hodnoty, kvalitu života, vztahy, interakce i to, „jak lidé myslí.“ Zvlášť Tvůj příběh říká hodně o době, kterou jsme s přestávkami společně prožívaly jako kole- gyně, i o skupině inteligence té doby. Je pro tu dobu téměř „typický“, ale současně zcela indivi- duální. Je to příběh obdivuhodný i problematický, ne záviděníhodný, který svědčí o velké osobní síle a odvaze a také o schopnosti nevzdávat se. A protože je k tomu významná příležitost, Tvé životní jubileum, dovolím si příběh Niny Pavelčíkové částečně představit. Narodila se v roce 1939 ve Zlíně, tehdejší Jedenáctiletou střední školu navštěvovala v Kyjově a pak vystudovala Vyšší pedagogickou školu v Opavě. Po absolutoriu v roce 1958 začala učit na základních školách na Hodonínsku a současně dálkově studovat na Filozofické fakultě brněnské univerzity obor dějepis-ruština. Ze školství přešla do Oblastního archivu jiho- východní Moravy ve Zlíně a v roce 1966 se přihlásila do konkurzu na interní vědeckou aspiran- turu do Slezského ústavu ČSAV v Opavě. V jejím rámci složila v roce 1969 kandidátské zkouš- ky a rok na to obhájila doktorskou práci na katedře historie Filozofické fakulty Univerzity Pa- lackého v Olomouci, kandidátskou disertaci se jí již obhájit nepodařilo. Ve Slezském ústavu ČSAV se jubilantka specializovala v rámci jeho zaměření na výzkum průmyslových oblastí na ostravskou průmyslovou oblast v období Mnichova a druhé světové války. V horečném období veřejného života v roce 1968 a následně po sovětské okupaci žila intenzivně vědou, veřejným děním a měnilo se i její soukromí. Celou její budoucnost však významně změnilo angažování ve prospěch obrodného procesu, které přineslo pro Ninu Pavel- číkovou nepříznivé důsledky: patřila k pracovníkům ústavu, kteří ztratili z politických důvodů odborné zaměstnání. Její odchod následoval poté, co s ní vedení ČSAV odmítlo sepsat jedno- roční pracovní smlouvu měsíc před narozením dítěte. Po skončení mateřské dovolené v roce 1975 zůstala bez práce. Po období, kdy pečovala o dítě, se jí podařilo nastoupit na místo THP, později pracovala

Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg 4th version 2019 1 Abstract Having presented Emperor Friedrich III’s declaration of obedience to the new pope, Calixtus III, in August 1455, the emperor’s top diplomat, Bishop Enea Silvio Piccolomini, at some unspecified time laid before the pope a proposal for settling the Hussite issue which posed a serious and permanent religious as well as political problem. The proposal was based on discussions between Piccolomini and George Podiebrad, the Regent of Bohemia.

    MESTO DEJINY János Perényi, Master of the Treasury and His

    MESTO a DEJINY János Perényi, Master of the Treasury and his Relationship with the Upper-Hungarian Cities (1438–1458) Ádám Novák vol. 5, 2016, 1, pp. 76-88 In this paper the author focuses on the career of János Perényi (†1458), Master of the Treasury and his peculiarly long activity as Master of the Treasury which lasted for nearly twenty years. This paper aims to draw a sketch of the activities of Perényi as Treasurer and to examine his relationship with the Upper-Hungarian cities in the years 1438 – 1458. The thesis is based on the materials kept in the archives of the Upper-Hungarian cities. Most of the documents issued by the Treasurer were missile letters addressed to the cities under his jurisdiction, and privilege letters which included the decisions of the Court of the Master of the Treasurer. We can sporadically find receipts, which prove the acceptance of the sums paid to the Treasurer. However, we cannot draw a full picture without examining the letters of cities, rulers, major officeholders or such noticeable characters as Governor János Hunyadi and Jan Jiskra, mercenary captain and ispán (‘sheriff’) of County Sáros (Šariš). Key words: János Perényi. Master of the Treasury. Upper-Hungarian Cities. 1438–1458. I have been studying the career of János Perényi (†1458), Master of the Treasury, or simply Treasurer, since 2009. Besides presenting the outline of his career, I also argued before on his seal usage1 and on the history of his family’s land tenure.2 In my present paper I will focus on his peculiarly long activity as Master of the Treasury which lasted for nearly twenty years.

THE ANSWER TO THE LAST TOSS-UP SHOULD HAVE BEEN: Iran Packet 9 Toss-ups: 1. Mark Ravenhill wrote a 2013 play of this name for the Royal Shakespeare Company described as a ‘comfortable life overtaken by an endless barrage of misfortune’. A revival of another production with this name retained only one element from Lillian Hellman’s original book by calling the heroine’s otherwise unnamed brother Maximilian. Patti Lupone [‘loop’-‘OWN’] appeared as the Old Woman in a 2004 production of that work of this name, which requires the soprano lead to reach three high E-flats during an aria in which she despairs of being ‘forced to glitter, forced to be gay’ and opens with ‘The Best of All Possible Worlds’ sung by Dr. Pangloss. For 10 points, give this name of several adaptations of a Voltaire novel, including an operetta by Leonard Bernstein. ANSWER: Candide <CJ> 2. In the north of this country, fermented skinless sausages called chin som are made using sticky rice and pork. This non-Japan country claims to be the origin of vegetable carving, while the term wan, meaning sweet, in one of its dishes refers to its colour, not its flavour. A soup from this country is made using a broth flavoured with galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and lemongrass, and this country is the world’s largest producer of Jasmine rice.

  • Hungarisn Studies Review

    Hungarisn Studies Review

    Hungarian Studies Review, Vol. XLV, Nos. 1-2 (Spring-Fall, 2018) Symbol or Concept? An Overview of the Doctrine of the Holy Crown of Hungary Gábor Hollósi On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the United States returning to Hungary her symbol of enduring constitutionality, the story of the Holy Crown is once again front and center. Our use of the word “symbol” already in the very first sentence is intentional, for in addition to the “visible” manifestation of the crown, an “invisible” aspect surrounds it as well.1 The invisible crown represents a set of ideas that is embodied in our Holy Crown. Throughout the history of our constitution, the most important of these is the so-called Doctrine of the Holy Crown, which is what we focus on below. How do the Concept of the Holy Crown and the Doctrine of the Holy Crown differ? Although the literature often uses the terms interchangeably, we believe that separately defining them is more appropriate.2 The Con- cept of the Holy Crown covers the symbolism of the crown (for now let us set aside the point from which we may consider the Hungarian crown as holy). For example in King St. Stephen’s (1001–1038) Ad- monitions to his son Prince Emeric, the crown appears as both earthly royal authority and as the symbol of heavenly and eternal power.3 Later, the Holy Crown itself came to symbolize the territory of the state; we often come across the phrase: “Lands of the Holy Crown”. These are, of course, only examples.

  • The Choirs of St Vitus's Cathedral in Prague: a Marriage of Liturgy

    The Choirs of St Vitus's Cathedral in Prague: a Marriage of Liturgy

    The Choirs of St Vitus’s Cathedral in Prague: A Marriage of Liturgy, Coronation, Royal Necropolis and Piety PETR ULIČNÝ St Vitus’ s Cathedral, founded in 1344, is a prime example of 14th-century cathedral Gothic, a product of the cooperation between the ingenious architect Peter Parler and his patron, Emperor Charles IV. The unusual layout consisted of a pair of choirs set side by side in the eastern section of the cathedral, an arrangement inspired by the earlier Romanesque double-choir basilica. One was dedicated to St Vitus and was used by the canons, the other to the Virgin Mary and operated by the mansionars. The royal and imperial necropolis was placed in the latter of the two choirs, with Charles IV’s tomb-chest protected by a sculptured canopy and surrounded by the cenotaphs of deceased family members and later kings and queens. The form of two choirs is probably the result of an extensive rearrangement of the earlier project com- pleted in the 1350s, when initial plans to locate the royal burial ground in the canons’ choir were abandoned. The main choir contained a tabernacle of remarkable design, dating from c. 1365. There may originally have been plans for a third choir to be built around the tomb of St Adalbert located in the middle of the nave, the work on which was initiated in 1392.1 keywords Prague, cathedral, choirs, liturgy, royal necropolis, coronation the foundation of st vitus’s two choirs ST VITUS’S CATHEDRAL in Prague is a building of fundamental importance in the history of the Central European Late Gothic architecture,2 partly due to its architect Peter Parler’s skilful adaptations of elements of the English Decorated style.3 The cathedral remains the subject of scholarly interest not only because of the outstanding and well-documented architecture, the patrons and architects behind its construction,4 but also because of the many extant liturgical books that contain descriptions of how the cathedral functioned.5 However, the cathedral’s furnishings and altars are preserved to a lesser extent.

Its pathway to prosperity was rather thorny, nevertheless, the performance of the region improved significantly until the crisis hit the regional economy in the second half of 2008. The developmental trajectory switched from growth to stagnation or even decline. However the complicated situation taught regional actors to cooperate to achieve a common goal. Their effort and relatively well developed social capital might become one of the most important sources for improvement of the overall socioeconomic situation in the region.

Before starting to explain the war destinies of Jews in Czech Silesia, I have to briefly mention the administrative structure implemented by the occupying government of this territory, since orientation in it is often difficult even for historians of the region themselves. A traditional emphasis of Czech historiography on the history of the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia somewhat overshadowed the interest in the development of occupation in the torn off areas of Czech lands, where an absolute majority of the territory of Czech Silesia belonged. After the Munich agreement, Czech Silesia was violently torn into four asymmetrical pieces, which were, in October 1938, allocated to Czechoslovakia, Germany and Poland. Although shortly after that the whole Czech Silesia found itself under the dominion of Nazi Germany, the affiliation of these four parts to higher territorial complexes, determined by the Munich agreement and its consequences, was retained during the entire war. Basically it meant that the conditions of occupation in each of those parts were somewhat different. It concerned for instance the position of the local population, methods of Germanisation and the whole policy of occupation. I am aware of the danger of using the measures of Nazi bodies and a German administrative system regarding the Silesian territory and its population. However, I consider their knowledge extremely important and necessary for understanding the specifics of historical development of this territory.
