"From Venice to the end of the world". The story of the glass cup from the Prague house No. 379/I

Staletá Praha 30, 2/2014, 2-17 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2014.2.01  

There is an interesting set of high medieval glass dated to the period from the late 13th to the early 14th century that has come from archaeological research on the present parcel of house No. 379/I on the street Na Můstku in Prague's Old Town. Attention was aroused in particular by one cup, painted with enamels and gold and probably originating from the glass factory in Murano near Venice. This article is an attempt to answer the questions of who ordered the cup, and how this item came into Bohemia. The most important clue to its identification is a trio of depicted coats of arms which would hypothetically refer to the cup's customer, perhaps originating...

The tomb of Christ and its Prague protectors. From the topography of the monastery of the canons regular of the Holy Sepulchre in Zderaz

Petr Uličný

Staletá Praha 30, 2/2014, 18-47 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2014.2.02  

The Monastery of the Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre in Zderaz in Prague with the church of St. Peter, founded around 1190, was so badly damaged during the Hussite wars that it almost disappeared from the city's topography. Rich written sources and several surviving relics allow for an attempt to reconstruct its structural development and its pre-Hussite appearance with the choir consecrated to the Holy Sepulchre, which was apparently located in the western part of the church. The specificity of the monastery as part of Prague shows the use of the liturgy inspired by the operation of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

On the localization of the extinct village of Psáry below Vyšehrad
Zur Lokalisierung des verschwundenen Dorfes Psáry unter dem Vyšehrad

Staletá Praha 30, 2/2014, 48-64 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2014.2.03  

A written report from the chamberlains of the provincial boards from 1578 brings new and very valuable information on the issue of the still unclear localization of the extinct medieval village of Psáry. To correctly interpret this report, the author follows the uneasy coexistence of the population of Podskalí and the sequence of events that immediately preceded this report. This is followed by editorially selected passages of the report, and with the help of other written, iconographic, and cartographic sources, it attempts to present a new working vision of the location of the former village and court of Psáry. The article concludes by examining...

The submitted study focuses on a Romanesque ashlar house which was newly discovered in 2012 on the plot of house No. 309 on the street Bartolomějská ulice. Using written sources and on the basis of preliminary archaeological and sectional architectural-historical research, the authors attempt to reconstruct the history of the building and its immediate surroundings, especially for the period of the Middle Ages. The work emphasizes the importance of the geomorphological conditions in the settlement process. Using this house as an example, one can demonstrate the existence of significant irregularities in the terrain which the builders had to deal with...

Tomasz Cymbalak, Veronika Staňková

Staletá Praha 30, 2/2014, 86-110 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2014.2.05  

A listing of all archaeological research activities within the "Jewish Garden" emphasizing the results of research carried out in 2009-2014 and presenting their contribution to the expansion of our existing knowledge of what is the largest necropolis of a Jewish community in medieval Bohemia. Burials took place in the necropolis from the second half of the 13th century to the second half of the 15th century. In the 14th century it was attached to the northern part of the Upper New Town of Prague. The work of archaeologists within this monitored area was primarily associated with the new construction of the Quadrio commercial office building, in an...

Windows of the apse of the church of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist in Hostivař
Die Apsisfenster der Kirche der Enthauptung d. hl. Johannes d. T. in Hostivař

Ladislav Bartoš

Staletá Praha 30, 2/2014, 111-120 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2014.2.06  

This essay presents the findings of the recently discovered windows of the apse of the Hostivař church. Regarding the details of its surviving medieval form, this church was until recently considered to be a relatively poor building. This opinion changed with the discovery of wall paintings in the apse; during their gradual uncovering it became possible to document and partially restore a window whose existence had previously been unknown. The text deals with the position and shape of the discovered windows of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque age as well as the issue of re-opening them and the illumination of the presbytery throughout the history of...

Die Fragmente aus dem Kloster Zbraslav

Miroslav Kovář

Staletá Praha 30, 2/2014, 121-128 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2014.2.07  

The author attempts to complete a small set of currently known architectural elements from a medieval construction in Zbraslav. He also attempts to determine the age of two heads with a vegetal motive and to answer the question of whether they come from the architectural equipment of the royal hunting court of Otakar II or from the later construction of the Cistercian monastery founded in 1292.
