Fasc. 1 Pag. 11–13 THE FIRST DECADES OF PRAGUE UNIVERSITY: TRANSFORMING INTELLECTUAL SPACE IN 14th CENTURY CENTRAL EUROPE ACADEMIC CONFERENCE CENTER, JILSKÁ 1, PRAGUE, NOVEMBER 6–7, 2014 Since the 19th century, the main tendencies in historiography of the University of Prague were focused on the first two decades of the 15th century. This era was usually viewed within the perspective of the rise of pre-national consciousness and the development of the pre reformation Hussite movement. And although the early history of Prague University was far from ignored, it has been often viewed as a prelude to these upcoming events. Almost two years ago, we tried to shift the focus on to the period of the first fifty years of Prague’s alma mater. Our main aim was to raise the questions concerning the changes within the cultural and intellectual space in Central Europe which followed the founding of Prague’s University in 1348. The two-day international conference, devoted to the early history of Prague University, was held in the Academic Conference Center, Jilská 1, Prague on November 6–7, 2014. Six­ teen papers were divided into six sessions. The first day’s papers were focused on intellectuals of Prague University, i.e. Henry Totting of Oyta, Conrad of Ebrach and Jan of Mýto. The majority of presentations addressed Totting’s philosophical and theological works, his prea­ chings, as well his attitudes towards the Jewish people. The second day offered various historical aspects. The opening session paid close atten­ tion to international contexts of Prague University, e.g. the founding Charter of the Prague alma mater and University of Naples, and connecting lines of the emperor Charles IV with intellectuals from Italy. The second session dealt generally with various aspects of trans- mission of knowledge, such as instructions for lay women by Henry of Bitterfeld, vernacular poetry from the court of Charles IV and the relation between learned magic, alchemy and some university members. The last session of the second day concluded with prosopogra­ phical aspects (exchanges between Prague university and the university of Vienna, as well as Hungarian students in Prague). The conference was organized by Jan Odstrčilík (Charles University in Prague and the Aus­ trian Academy of Sciences), Francesca Battista (Charles University in Prague) and Riccar­ do Burgazzi (Charles University in Prague) and was sponsored by Institute for Medieval Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the Charles University Grant Agency1 and the Centre for Medieval Studies of the Czech Academy of Sciences, to all of whom we are immensely grateful. 1 The conference The First Decades of Prague University: Transforming Intellectual Space in 14th Centu- ry Central Europe, Prague, November 6–7, 2014, was founded by the Charles University Grant Agency (GA UK), No. 1124413, and the European Research Council under the European Community’s Seventh Framework programme (FP7/2007-2013) / ERC grant agreement No. 263672. 11 The journal Acta Universitatis Carolinae – Historia Universitatis Carolinae Pragensis kindly provided this issue covering the papers from our conference.
