Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

The authors scrutinized clerical imagination of war in selected medieval chronicles and other narrative sources written between 1000 and 1300 in Bohemia, Hungary, Poland, and Rus. Firstly, attention was paid to the problem of how much consideration was given to the armed conflicts in those narratives. Secondly, they looked at the conditions under which condition the war was not condemned, but appreciated as a solution of a conflict ( “just war”). Thirdly, it was necessary to study rhetoric devices (vocabulary, metaphoric, body language, etc.) used by medieval chroniclers to describe a war.

In Czech

Autoři zkoumali imaginaci války ve vybraných středověkých kronikách a dalších narativních pramenech psaných mezi lety 1000 a 1300 v Čechách, Maďarsku, Polsku a na Rusi. Nejprve byla pozornost věnována problému, jak velká pozornost byla věnována ozbrojeným konfliktům v těchto příbězích. Zadruhé, zkoumali podmínky, za nichž nebyla válka odsouzena, ale byla oceněna jako řešení konfliktu („spravedlivá válka“). Zatřetí studovali rétorické prostředky (slovní zásobu, metaforiku, řeč těla atd.) používané středověkými kronikáři k popisu války.
