He also focuses on the transformations of handbill journalism devoted to these journeys.

The author examines leaflet publicity and the relationship between Ferdinand I and the city of Prague. Her prime focus is on most of German leaflets concerning the journey of Ferdinand and Anne Jagiello from Vienna to Prague (1527), acceptance of the royal pair by the Crown towns and estates in Bohemia and Moravia, the entry into the capital, the King’s and Queen’s coronation, and the subsequent festivities. She briefly mentions other relevant types of leaflet publicity concerning the ruler, documenting events in Prague, and the city’s transformations under his rule.

The article presents German pamphlets originating in Lusatia, dedicated to the devastating fire that destroyed the town of Görlitz in March, 1691. The tragedy was a milestone in the history of the town and it was an opportunity to look back and evaluate the history from the current perspective. The importance of the event as the „point of historic memory“ was strengthened by the fact that a catastrophe of the same kind was, in legend, the reason for the founding of the town by Přemyslid duke of Bohemia Soběslav. The authors of these multi-paged pamphlets were mostly the citizens of Görlitz who lived at a time when the town was no longer royal town of King of Bohemia, instead it was a part of the Saxony electorate. The history of their town was a source of inspiration and pride for them and gave them strength to rebuild their hometown for the better. The author deals with the content and social context of these pamphlets, paying special attention to the reflexive passages about the Luxembourgs, John of Görlitz and the Görlitz Duchy.

This paper presents the relations between Christian Central Europe and the Islamic world (primarily represented by the Ottoman Empire), based on the testimonies of 16th and 17th century Czech and German pamphlets. A selection of these indicate the specific kinds of subjects, approaches, positions and functions involved in this journalism within the common sphere. For example, they include prints on military conflicts, the standpoints of Protestant theologians on Turkish expansion, extracts from important documents, descriptions of events, forecasts, prints on the conversions of Turks to Christianity and the instrumental usage of the Turkish threat in conflicts between Christian denominations.
