Syllabus
  • The subject of the lectures is the development of diplomatic documents and administrative organizations in the Czech lands on a provincial level during the post- White Mountain era until 1848, with particular emphasis on Moravia. Individual types of documents will be identified and described as will the area where they were used in the context of written communication. There will also be an examination of selected issues which have not been resolved academically in diplomatics, most recently from the mid-19th century to the present day.
