The Zittau library of Christian Weise has an extensive collection of manuscripts, among which we find a number of early modern-era chronicles relating particularly to the six towns of the Lusatian League. One of these is the Zittau Chronicle by Tobias Schnuerer from the 16th century, preserved in a later transcription, in which he chronologically recorded the most important events of his era, including the names of members of the Town Council. Memorial and chronicle records are also included in a collection of manuscripts by Abraham Frenzel (1656-1740). This includes a preserved transcription of an early modern-era chronicle of Sorau (Zary), which details the problems of life in the town and the local authority at the time. Another of Frenzel's preserved manuscripts describes the journey through Europe made by Michael Frank at the end of the sixteenth century, including his visit to Bohemia.

The author of the text attempts to analyse the ways how the church chroniclers from the Czech Lands depicted and characterised Hungary and its inhabitants in the 14th century. A detailed analysis was performed for the following six chronicles by church authors: The Žďár Monastery Chronicle, The Zbraslav Chronicle, The Chronicle of František Pražský, The Chronicle of Beneš Krabic of Weitmile and The Chronicle of Přibík Pulkava of Radenín. The analysis also included the interesting Dalimil Chronicle, for which the background of its author is unknown. The author further analysed the Autobiography of King Charles IV of Luxembourg. For the purpose of a comparison with another social background, the author stepped beyond the limits of the 14th century and analysed three chronicles mostly covering the 15th century: The Chronicle of Bartošek of Drahonice, The Hussite Chronicle of Vavřinec of Březová and Staré letopisy české [The Old Bohemian Annals].

During the search for factors constituting proof of existence of Silesian regional identity in the Late Middle Ages, the author analysed the process of formation and functioning of common tradition. Among the analysed, contributing factors is the name Śląsk/Silesia and the process through which it entered collective awareness. The Piast dynasty was a significant element of this tradition, considering the attempts for preserving their memory, primarily within historiographical works. Saint Hedwig of Silesia (died 1243) was of particular significance within this dynasty, her cult from dynastic in nature changed into regional, she became the patron saint of Silesia. In Silesian tradition Piotr Włostowic (died circa 1151) is very important as well, due to his literary and historiographical prowess he rose towards the status of regional hero. The local church was also significant for the forging of regional identity. This author analysed the actions he took for the purpose of preserving and strengthening within memory the knowledge about the bishops of Wrocław, indicating, among other things, the bishop catalogues, widespread in Silesia. Much attention was paid to the regional discourse, present within chronicles and plentiful chronicle annuals. In late Middle Ages it became the main platform for expression of regional issues. Analysing characteristics of particular events, the author pointed to the tangled routes through which the Silesian regional identity formed. It was primarily a result of far reaching ethnic changes, taking place in Silesia at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries and influence of cultural traits of bordering regions.

The author pointed his attention to this special way of orientation in the terrain and identification of localities. A large semantic analyzes of some crucial words creating various ways of determining proximity has been done. The author used mainly texts of chronicles and charters, two quite distinct types of sources. Their mutual confrontation increased the testifying value of acquired information. He describes the relativem big variety and narrowness of meanings of concrete expressions defining proximity and tries to explain the difference from modern type of usage of similar terms by the relationship between to different concepts of space. The study follows the development of semantic fields of studied terms and depicts the shift after the period of colonization and social and economic changes in the 13th century.

The author follows up to his previous study about ways of determining proximity and pointed his attention to another way of orientation in the terrain and identification of localities in the medieval texts from Czech Lands. Now a large semantic analyzes of some crucial words creating various ways of determining proximity has been done. The author used mainly texts of chronicles and charters, two quite distinct types of sources. Their mutual confrontation increased the testifying value of acquired information. He describes the relatively big variety and narrowness of meanings of concrete expressions determining direction, as well as essential binding of this information with the concrete situation in the terrain illustrating the medieval concept of space perception. The study follows the development of semantic fields of studied terms and depicts the shift after the period of colonization and social and economic changes in the 13th century.
