The Prague Studies of Bolko V, Duke of Opole - a Problem of Identification

Abstracts

DE

In dem vorliegenden Artikel wird auf das Thema des Prager Studiums des Herzogs von Oppeln Bolko V. (gest. 1460), der auch der Hussit, Ketzer oder Wołoszek genannt wurde, ein‑ gegangen, genauer gesagt wird auf die Hypothese über sein Studium in Prag zurückgekommen, das mit dem Erwerb des Grades des Bakkalaureus (implizit: im Bereich der freien Künste) abgeschlossen werden sollte. Der Fokus liegt deshalb auf den bisherigen Erkenntnissen von Historikern und auf der Polemik mit ihnen (vor allem mit der Arbeit von Maciej Woźny), was völlig neue Schlussfolgerungen formulieren und vor allem auch die Thesen der früheren For‑ scher widerlegen lässt. Es ist gelungen festzustellen, dass die Quellen und die Literatur polni‑ scher Provenienz zur Entstehung eines historiographischen Mythos um den Herzog Bolko V. und seine Ausbildung (vor allem durch den Eintrag in Annales Glogovienses) führten, was auch indirekt aus der wenig kritischen Herangehensweise an das Quellenmaterial und aus seiner begrenzten Verwendung resultierte. Es handelt sich hier insbesondere um die falsche Analyse der Schrift der Papstkanzlei vom 7. Mai 1413, die (laut M. Woźny) ein neues Licht auf dieses Thema werfen sollte und dank diesem Artikel neu interpretiert wird. Darüber hinaus lässt die Gegenüberstellung der bisherigen Erkenntnisse der Forscher mit den Quellen und der Literatur tschechischer Provenienz (meist mit den bisher nicht verwendeten Studienurkunden und dem Dekanbuch der Prager Universitäten) nicht zu, den Herzog von Oppeln als einen Studenten der Prager Universität wahrzunehmen. In Anbetracht der erneuten Analyse des Themas des Prager Studiums des Herzogs von Oppeln Bolko V. und der Interpretation der erhaltenen Quellen wird angenommen, dass die These über das Studium des Herzogs in Prag und den von ihm erworbenen Grad des Bakkalaureus (zumindest bis zum Erscheinen der neuen Quellen, die den genannten Herzog betreffen) abgelehnt werden sollte.

   The following article concerns the Prague studies of Bolko V, Duke of Opole (died 1460), also known as the Hussite, the Heretic or Wołoszek. To be more precise, the article returns to the hypothesis concerning his studies in Prague, which were supposed to end with obtain‑ ing the bachelor degree (bachelor of liberal arts). To this end, the article focuses on the earlier findings of historians and enters a polemic with those sources (particularly the works of Maciej Woźny), which leads the author to completely new conclusions and allows him to disprove the earlier findings. The article establishes that the primary sources as well as Polish literature on the subject contributed to the creation of a historiographical myth (particularly due to the information included in Annales Glogovienses) regarding Duke Bolko V and his education, which stemmed from insufficiently critical approach to the source material and its selective use. Primarily, the issue concerns incorrect analysis of a writ of the Papal office, dating May 7, 1413, which was, according to Woźny, supposed to shed new light onto the subject, and which has been reinterpreted in the present article. Moreover, the confrontation of the earlier research findings with the source documents as well as Czech literature (particularly hitherto unused stu‑ dent registers and dean’s records of the Prague universities) did not allow to consider the Duke a student of a university in Prague. In light of the repeated analysis of the issue of the Prague studies of Bolko V, Duke of Opole and an interpretation of the archived primary sources, the author argues that it is impossible to substantiate the claim that Bolko V ever studied in Prague and obtained a bachelor’s degree (at least until new sources emerge).
