This text follows on from a larger work (Žegklitz 2019) on the Renaissance Prague pottery workshop of Adam Špaček, focusing on the rela­tionship of its tile production to the surroundings of Prague Castle. Newly discovered written evidence proves Adam Špaček’s involvement in the construction of the stove in the former Rožmberk Palace, and also confirms that the luxury oven tiles, found here in the past, originated in Špaček’s workshop. The same workshop also came into contact with another powerful family from Pernštejn, in whose palace, adjacent to the Rožmberk Palace, terracotta building elements with rich embossed decoration were found,...

Staletá Praha 40, 2/2024, 33-77 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2024.2.02  

The core of the presented text consists of descriptions of 22 finds of Nuremberg travelling sundials, mainly from archaeological sites in Prague (10) and South Moravia (10 pieces), the vast majority of which have not yet been published. Brief mention is made of the origins of modern sundials, the material used in Nuremberg for their manufacture, commerce with them, and period prices found from manuscripts in Czech archives. The article includes a table of currently known identified master marks with biographical data of the Nuremberg manufacturers

Rubbling and levelling the construction site of the so-called Little Lobkowicz House at Prague Castle in 1644 : discourse on the early medieval burial ground and post-medieval buildings north of Jiřská Street

Newly discovered archival documents relating to the construction of the so-called Little Lobkowicz House (No. 7) at Prague Castle in 1644 prompted an interdisciplinary study to place these data in the broader context of the period and the spatial development of the eastern part of the Hradčany promontory. Reviewed is the information on the early medieval burial ground north of Jiřská Street, which most likely originally encroached on plot No. 7 and whose remains were removed there during the construction of the house. As a result of extensive building activity from the Romanesque to the modern period, only a small section of the burial site has been...

An Unknown late Přemyslid Rebuilding of the Presbytery of St. Francis Church in St. Agnes Monastery in Prague : The Discovery of a Timber Reinforcement from after 1303 and Its Parallels

Filip Facincani

Staletá Praha 40, 2/2024, 110-128 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2024.2.04  

The paper deals with the unknown building phase of the presbytery of the church of St. Francis in the St. Agnes Monastery, dated by dendrochronology to the first years “after 1303”. It shows that after a local fire the top of the outer wall was raised and a timber reinforcement added, the remains of which are still evident in the attic. This phase of construction has not yet been recognised and it is identified and described here for the first time.

Staletá Praha 40, 2/2024, 129-178 | DOI: 10.56112/sp.2024.2.05  

The text presents the results of rescue excavations carried out in 2003 and 2004 in the area of the present Schwarzenberg Palace in Prague-Hradčany. The revealed archaeological situations are presented in chronological contexts from the early Middle Ages to the 19th century. Special space is devoted to the presentation of ceramic artefacts of the periods in chronological order, including a catalogue of oven tiles of common production as well as exceptional luxury custom-made products. The conclusions allow to revise and supplement the concept of the local building transformation after the great fire of Hradčany and Malá Strana in 1541, when the original...
