The article offers insights on the reception and literary transmission of the religious and biblical threads running through the astronomical treatise Introductorium compendiosum in Tractatum sphaerae materialis Ioannis de Sacrobusto of Jan of Głogów. As a narrative and historical book, the Bible offered a broad market for tales in both oral and written form and apocryphal works of fiction, which were adopted and adapted in Jan’s dissertation in order to meet the scientific tasks and expectations of young listeners, thus making the practical realization of the scholastic educational standards and needs. Among others, the article examines in Jan’s treatise popular biblical tales, such as Adam and Eve, Moses, Noah, Abraham, and Jerusalem and the Hell together with their geographical and astronomical features. The history of Pontius Pilatus is also discussed with his alleged German descent. This combination of such disparate narrative and research material shows both the wealth of Jan’s storytelling and his ability to teach astronomy.

Arranged by topics, the essay covers the early sixteenth – century "Introductorium compendiosum in Tractatum sphaerae materialis Ioannis de Sacrobusto" written in Latin by the Polish scholar Jan of Głogów. The essay explores diverse aspects of his deliberations about the eclipse of the sun which was said to happen during the time of Christ’s death. In Jan`s opinion which was based on astronomical knowledge and ancient writers` judgments, the blocking of the light of the sun when the moon was between it and the earth, was a miraculous event which did not follow the known physical laws of nature and was therefore thought to be caused by God.

The article is an attempt of interpretation of seven poems written by Wawrzyniec Korwin which were inserted in St. Bonaventura`s homilies and constitute forms of prayers to be said daily by Christians. The author analyses the artistic skill of the language used by the poet. His poems keep fascinating their readers because of their language, i.e. style as a system of remarkable pattern of linguistic elements and ancient metre.

This article focuses on the hitherto rather neglected subject of panegyric works dedicated to the sovereign, Matthias Habsburg. In connection with the key moments in his career — his selection as King and ultimately Emperor, his marriage and coronation — the Czech lands saw the creation of literary works that played a part in the display of his sovereign power and majesty. The growing importance of national languages can be observed in their composition. Initially extensive prose descriptions (reports) were printed in Czech, authored by Jiří Závěta of Závětice. These went on to inspire the Czech songs of Sixtus Palma Močidlanský. Literature written in German is represented in particular by Matthias Hoë of Hoënegg’s homage sermon. Contrasting with the few (and hence important) literary works in national languages there is a large quantity of Latin panegyric prose and poetry presented in a representative selection in this study. Apart from the literary genres that de facto permeate all the languages (reports, sermons, panegyric speeches and poems, songs, prayers and dramas), attention is also paid to the conception of the monarch’s personality in celebratory literature, as well as the form and intention of individual works and the reception of antique literature as an integral part of the celebration of the sovereign power tradition. Almost without exception, the literary works presented had their pragmatic objectives, but higher literary ambitions and more demanding literary stylizations are not abandoned.

Článek se soustředí na dosud spíše opomíjené téma panegyrické tvorby věnované panovníkovi, konkrétně Matyáši Habsburskému. V souvislosti se zásadními okamžiky jeho kariéry – volba králem a posléze císařem, sňatek, korunovace – vznikala v českých zemích literární díla, která se podílela na manifestaci jeho panovnické moci a majestátu. Na jejich složení je možné pozorovat rostoucí význam národních jazyků. Poprvé jsou tištěny rozsáhlé prozaické popisy (relace) v češtině, jejichž autorem byl Jiří Závěta ze Závětic. Jimi inspirované jsou české písně Sixta Palmy Močidlanského. Německy psaná literatura je zastoupena zejména holdovacím kázáním Matthiase Hoë z Hoëneggu. Oproti nepočetným, ale o to významnějším literárním dílům v národních jazycích stojí velké množství latinské panegyrické prózy a poezie, představené ve studii v reprezentativním výběru. Kromě literárních druhů prostupujících de facto napříč jazyky (relace, kázání, panegyrické řeči a básně, písně a modlitby, drama) je věnována pozornost také pojetí osobnosti panovníka v oslavné literatuře, formě a intenci jednotlivých děl i recepci antické literatury jako nedílné součásti oslavy tradice panovnické moci. Prezentovaná literární díla měla prakticky bez výjimky pragmatické cíle, přesto se nevzdávají vyšších slovesných ambicí a náročnější literární stylizace.
