This study focuses on the late medieval infernal novel The Life of Adam, or Solfernus from Olden Times by Václav Hájek of Libočany (1553). The text is briefly placed in the context of medieval hell novels, combining a biblical pseudepigaf and a legal handbook. A comparison of late medieval manuscripts and Hájek’s elaboration showed that from the 18th chapter onwards, Hájek significantly modified the original text, enriched it with new characters and dialogues, and emphasized the fictional character. The conclusion of the text is completely new. The excellent unique woodcut decoration of the text, the participation of Sixt of Ottersdorf in the text editing, the wording of the foreword and a number of allusions in the text lead to a final reflection on the nonliterary function of the text as part of resistance against Ferdinand I’s government.

The Second Life of the Zbraslav Chronicle in Historiographical Reflection from the 14th to the end of the 16th Centuries: The text is devoted to the preservation and reception of the Zbraslav Chronicle in the Czech historiography of the 14th-18th centuries. Besides the actual knowledge of the existence of this treatise, the impact of the narrative strategy of Peter of Zittau is predominantly observed in the works of the individual historiographers in the indicated period, mainly then in the opuses by Francis of Prague, Václav Hájek of Libočany, Bohuslav Balbín and Tomáš Pešina of Čechorod.
