The essay focuses on the role of the Italian language under the episcopate of Arnošt Vojtěch of Harrach. After analysing the increased use of the Italian language in Vienna and Central Europe in the Modern Period, the author turns his attention to an exceptional case in Cardinal Harrach’s circles, which often employed the Italians in connection with a fundamental reform of the Czech religious life. In the second part, the author concentrates on political activities of the Capuchin Basilius von Aire (1591-1665), who communicated with Harrach only in Italian, although he was not an Italian. After departure of the famous Capuchin Valerian Magni, this man became a chief advisor to the cardinal; their communication thus constantly involved the most acute issues of the mentioned reform. Although Basilius von Aire represents one of the most important persons of the Prague society in the 17th century (even with regard to Harrach’s attitude to the Jesuits), he had remained an almost unknown figure until recently.

At the end of the 16th century, the last female member of the Premonstratensian monastery in Nová Říše Anna Černická became involved in a sharp dispute with the newly appointed prior Šebestián Chotěbořský. Although it primarily concerned the method of the prior’s appointment and his competences, the distinct perception of monastic principles played and important role. Thus the two different types of monastic members faced each other, affected by the milieu and the period in which they originated.

Drawing on urban and church archival sources such as handbooks, legal texts and birth registers, this study deals with changes in transitional rituals in the multi-denominational town of Slaný in Bohemia in the years 1600–1640. It focuses on both religious and civil rituals and shows how they changed in the course of the Counter-Reformation.

The aim of this paper is to approach non-Catholic rural writers during Counter-Reformation period in Czech lands with the stress on the 18th century relating to the questions of literacy and education. The first half of the paper contains enumeration of the characteristics of the scribe archetype, acquired by analysis of popular publication of the church historian František Bednář “Jiskry v temnu”. The results of the work with such a type of a source material make a picture of a “second life“ of the literacy available, in such a form, as it was perceived by the protestant society of 19th and 20th centuries and partly remained actual till the present. Characteristic features attributed to the scribes – often idealised and actualised according to the actual “social demand” are in the second part of the presentation confronted with the actual state of research in the topic introduced on the aspects of the biographs of two writers from Bohemian-Moravian Highlands – Řehoř Jakubec (1726 - 1786) and Tomáš Juren (1750 - 1829).

The study presents the results of new research on the relationship between the towns and the monarch or the state in the period of re-Catholicization, especially in the second half of the 17th century. At the parliament of 1604, the Hungarian aristocracy already protested against the Rudolfine Counter-Reformation and there was also strong opposition in the free royal boroughs. The argumentation was based on the statement that according to Hungarian general law, the towns 'do not belong to the king but to the crown'. At first, re-Catholicization efforts were hindered by a lack of qualified, educated and propertied Catholics, who could hold office in the towns. There was a similar problem with appointment of parish priests in the towns. The author corrects the familiar statements, especially of older historiography, which identified the Reformation with the national party and the Catholic side with the Habsburgs, the Vienna court and the Hungarian Catholic 'anti-nationally' oriented nobility, and points to the complexity of the problem, and to the fact that the economic decline of the early modern towns is not a logical result of the weakened authority of town administrations, but of a whole complex of influences.

Papal diplomacy, represented at the Imperial Court by the Nuncio Antonio Caetani (1607-1611), adopted a very cautious attitude towards the plan of Maximilian, Duke of Bavaria to establish a League of Catholic Rulers. This attitude only changed in April 1609 as a result of the appropriation of properties belonging to the Bishop of Speyer by the Elector of Palatinate. In addition, in May 1609 the Nuncio Caetani, together with the Spanish Envoy Zuniga, dispatched a Capuchin Lawrence of Brindisi to the Spanish king in order to gain his support for the League.
