Abstracts

EN

František Lexa’s travel journal, his correspondence with his family, colleagues, and various institutions, and other archival documents studied in several archives in the Czech Republic are used in this study to reconstruct the preparation, course, and results of Lexa’s study trip to Egypt undertaken in 1930–1931, and thus to learn about the first encounter of one of the leading Czechoslovak orientalist with Egypt of the 1930s. Viewed in the context of his time, the documents also constitute an important testimony to the possibilities and difficulties of Egyptological research in Czechoslovakia in the first half of the 20th century.
