This volume provides an insight into the world of the Carolingian monks and clerics who created the fascinating liturgical organism known as the Liturgy of the Hours. It recounts the creative process behind a specific part of the Gregorian Office repertoire which has not been addressed so far. By linking historical and liturgical evidence with musical analysis, the study opens new avenues for grouping manuscripts and interpreting their interrelationships. The catalogue of melodies included in this volume contains transcriptions of the post-Pentecost antiphon repertoire from 24 manuscripts across Western Europe.

Coufal, Dušan
Emperor Otto I the Great made history in the Holy Roman Empire with a significant dynastic achievement: in 967, he persuaded the pope to crown his son co-emperor in Rome. Two centuries later, another renowned emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, attempted a similar feat, negotiating with four different popes for the coronation of his descendant, but ultimately failed. A lesser-known parallel can be found in the life of Emperor Charles IV of the Luxembourg dynasty in the fourteenth century. After the Papal Curia returned to Rome from Avignon in early 1377, Charles made concerted efforts in Italy, France, and Germany to secure the imperial coronation of his son, Wenceslas. However, this bold ambition coincided with an unprecedented crisis in relations between the ‟French” cardinals and the newly elected Italian pope, Urban VI. Recognizing that the final chapter of Charles IV’s biography is deeply intertwined with the early history of the Great Western Schism offers a fresh perspective on a subject that has long captivated international scholarship.

Klír, Tomáš
The medieval peasantry represents a particularly compelling unknown for historians, as it holds the key to understanding both later economic growth and the surprising stagnation experienced in some European regions. Our current knowledge about the social structures and institutions of the medieval peasantry remains superficial, with almost nothing known about their real inner dynamics and demographic aspects. The present monograph confronts this issue head-on, taking advantage of previously neglected written sources from the Cheb city-state, which are unique in the European context. Drawing from this material, the book presents a remarkably detailed view of social mobility, migration, and the reproduction of social structures among the peasantry in the late Middle Ages while offering new perspectives on the mass abandonment of rural settlements during that period. It also identifies hitherto unknown mechanisms by which peasant communities responded to family demographic cycles and short-term economic fluctuations.

Bíba, Jan; Lánský, Ondřej
Kniha přináší kritickou reflexi pojmu resilience v kontextu krize současné demokracie. Ukazuje, že resilience se stala klíčovým, avšak rozporným termínem, který v neoliberálním diskurzu často podporuje individualizaci odpovědnosti a depolitizaci společenských problémů. Autoři však nezůstávají pouze u kritiky, ale rozvíjejí alternativní pojetí politické resilience. Vycházejí z přesvědčení, že demokracie v éře komplexity a nejistoty nemůže spoléhat pouze na stabilitu či robustnost institucí, nýbrž vyžaduje kolektivní proces kreativní a reflexivní adaptace. Ten vedle proměny institucí zahrnuje také afektivní kapacity občanů a demokratického étosu jako takového. Demokratická resilience tak není chápána ani jako technika řízení, ani jako strategie přežití, ale jako způsob, jak udržet otevřený prostor pro kritiku, spolupráci a sdílené politické jednání.
