Abstracts

EN

This study focuses on the work of Havel Phaëton Žalanský (1567–1621), a highly prolific author of religious and moralistic works in the first quarter of the 17th century, analysing his output within the framework of current research into humanism in the Czech lands. It examines the genre principles, typical contemporary themes and characteristic imagery of Žalanský’s treatises as well as the use of humanist and classical pretexts. Havel Phaëton Žalanský is a standard author from the late humanist period, but his particular features include a leaning towards the Calvinist Reformation and distinctive eschatological ideas and examples from history, while his texts have a polemical slant and are stylistically characterized by a departure from the higher style of what is known as Veleslavín Czech.
