Komparace lexika v českých překladech Míšeňské právní knihy

Abstract

The study presents the results of research aimed at comparing selected lexemes, primarily in the area of municipal law, used in 19 (Old) Czech translations of the Law Book of Meissen from the years 1400–1516 and in the German version of this legal document written between 1357–1387 in the central part of the German language area. This law book served as an important municipal legal document not only in various German towns, but also in many towns founded by German colonists in the Czech Lands. German terms for the study were chosen from the edited manuscript of the Law Book of Meissen written in German (the so-called manuscript B) and from three other manuscripts used in Olomouc at that time. In the analysis, primarily the diachronic aspect was applied; the diasituative and diastratic aspects were also taken into consideration, however.
