At the end of the second part, students should be able to describe the history of medieval Latin literature in Bohemia in 14th century; to explain the influences of the classical tradition on medieval literature; to identify the connections of the 14th-century Latin literature in Bohemia with the development of the Latin literature in Europe, as well as with the contemporary Old Czech literature; to evaluate the most significant representatives of particular genres of the 14th-century Latin literature in Bohemia; to analyze the language and style of their selected works.
