Course objectives

The subject builds on the introductory study courses (Proseminar, Introduction to Auxiliary Historical Sciences). In particular it develops practical skills in reading old documents of an official nature. Emphasis is placed not only on the correct reading of texts but also on their correct understanding. The course activities lead students to become independent in interpreting relatively "unreadable" places in texts and learn about the basics of finding the evidential value of official sources. At the end of the course, students will be able to work with these sources independently, and read and interpret their content reliably. An e-learning course is also available.

Syllabus

• Reading extracts from selected official documents and examining problems with their interpretation; Sources used for teaching: official book;
• Latin charters;
• Czech charters;
• land register;
• pragmatistic documents;
• official reports;
