Course objectives
The aim of this course is to prepare students for seminars and lectures on medieval history. Undergraduates will become acquainted with basic methodological methods, sources and literatureand the history of medieval research. Attention will be placed on getting to know sources of a varying nature from across Europe (with the emphasis on the Czech lands and neighbouring states, primarily the medieval Holy Roman Empire.) A central interest will also be the daily life of medieval man and his world of ideas. The seminar course offers a basic grounding in the terminology, the system of sources and in the basic problems faced by the European medievalist.
