Course objectives
The course will examine the development of diplomatic documents and administrative organizations on a royal publishing level in the Czech lands during the Early Modern Age from the perspective of an analytical (i.e. the study of documents' internal and external signs), genetic (i.e. how documents emerge) and systematic-classification (i.e. arranging documents into specific types and forms). After completing the course, students will be able to master Early Modern Age official publishing and will be able to distinguish between different types of royal documents.
Syllabus
  • Students will be familiarized with the development of the royal administration in the Czech state, from the renewal of the Czech royal chancery in the mid-15th century to the Battle of White Mountain and the transferral of this chancery and the court diplomatic resources of the Habsburg rulers in Vienna until 1848. There will be particular focus on the analytical and genetic levels of the diplomatics of the period, and as part of a systematic-classification approach, there will be an identification and differentiation of documents, and they will also be placed into a developmental context.
