Greek and Roman literature has bequeathed us a variety of perspectives on old age. Old age, in ancient times before there were palliatives for pain and devices to compensate for failing sense, such as eyeglasses and hearing aids, could be painful and humiliating. At the same time, old age commanded a certain respect, for the wisdom that time and experience brought, and it afforded pleasures of its own, such as memories of former goods. If erotic passion and attractiveness were diminished, this might be considered a benefit rather than a loss. An aged person might still be able to manage personal affairs, and if death was closer, it was not something to be feared, if one had lived a full life. Old age was a stage in life, the final one, but not less valuable for that.

The paper briefly outlines the life and work of Julie Nováková (1909–1991), the first Czech woman to lecture in the Prague Linguistic Circle. She recently published the lectures that she originally gave in the PLC at Palacký University in Olomouc (1948–1961) as an associate professor of ancient history. After the dissolution of the department, she moved to the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, where she was employed (1961–1973) in the department for the study of the works of Jan Amos Komenský. There she reached the peak of her career, publishing outstanding editions, educating a new generation of scholars, and deciphering the autograph of Komenský’s Clamores Eliae. She mentioned the PLC in the manuscript of her Memoirs.
