Abstract

V originále

Imagination of others in medieval texts offers important insights in the “Gedankenwelte” of individual authors. Their comparison in time and space provides us with an understanding of long-term processes and enables us to recognize stability and change. An important segment of that analysis is the construction of geographical horizon. In this chapter, I will scrutinize geographical horizons in the Czech lands until 1400. This region was selected based on two reasons: (1) Its borders stabilized relatively soon and as such they were recognized by the first chronicler of Bohemia Cosmas of Prague (+1125). (2) Especially, historiographical texts written in that region constitute a clearly recognizable group of texts that are closely related textually and due to their manuscript tradition.
