Course objectives
The series of seminars is part of the Editions of Diplomatic Material I course and is focused on broadening practical editing work in the publication of Bohemian diplomatic material from the turn of the 13th/14th century as part of the critical edition of the Codex Diplomaticus. The main focus will be on an analysis of the individual types of preserved documents (i.e. the typology of charters from the perspective of diplomatic circles as well as from the perspective of their substantive legal content) and the practical application of editing techniques to the appropriate published material.
Learning outcomes
1. The student will extend his knowledge of editing Czech diplomatic material acquired during the Bc. series;
2. There will be an examination of specific examples of editing techniques for the Codex diplomaticus et epistolaris regni Bohemiae, i.e., an edition with the maximum level of accuracy;
3. Learn to use editorial skills in other work in similar fields (the identification of source locations, the identification of people mentioned in the sources, translating historical sources into Czech, etc.).
4. Students will test in practice the theoretical postulates for the critical publishing of sources on a specific set of official documents from the late Přemyslid period.
Syllabus
  • 1. The typology of official documents to the start of the 14th century;
  • 2. The development of a diplomatic critique of Přemyslid official documents;
  • 3. The typology of edited published Bohemian official material (Regesta x Codex Diplomaticus);
