This analytical essay has emerged on the margins of a prepared edition of the academic works by Master Jerome of Prague (died 1416), which will be published in 'Corpus christianorum, continuatio mediaevalis'. Its task is to free the introductory treatises from minute discrepancies, erroneous assumptions and unsubstantiated presuppositions which have surrounded the origins and study trips of this leader of Prague Wyclifism.

The present study focuses on the impact which the vast, fundamental changes in biology of the late 19th and early 20th century had in the Czech Lands. Until the WWI, there existed several distinct and often mutually contradictory theories of evolution of organisms. In the Czech Lands, this multitude of theoretical explanations was complemented by a multi-layered cultural and scientific environment, where Czech and German biology influenced each other and met at various autonomous institutions. One should also keep in mind the differences between Prague and Brno, each a local centre with its scientific traditions and independent links to both Vienna and other European universities. The main subject of this paper are the theoretical biologists who had long-term impact on Czech biological thought or influenced it directly by working here. In about 1900-1915, we witness the first clear and recognised peak in the Czech reception of evolutionism.

The paper presents current research in the field of Slovak linguistics at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, Czech Republic. The paper highlights the characteristic features observable in the research of the Slovak studies unit that was established within the Department of Slavic Studies in 1994 soon after the dissolution of the Czech-Slovak federation. The Slovak linguistic research carried out by the department in the context of the independent Czech Republic is characterized by (1) a focus on the changed Czech–Slovak relations, (2) an interest in communicating Slovak linguistic research globally and (3) interdisciplinarity. The paper presents research results as a part of academic life, taking into account historical connections and the changing institutional conditions of the past decade or so.

The Kutna Hora Decree of King Wenceslas IV from 19 January 1409 amending the so-called university 'votes' to benefit the local corporation is one of the famous events in the history of Prague University and the Czech Lands, also. Following a brief retrospective of research carried up to the present time, the authors here present their own resolution of some disputed questions. Despite the fact that nationalistic disputes, connected to the opposing attitudes towards the Hus reform movement, contributed to their dramatic outcomes, it was the voluntary decision of King Wenceslas IV, that was the immediate and the most decisive. He responded to the opposition of the three foreign nations towards the convening of the Council of Pisa, to which the King pinned his hopes for his return to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire.
