Jan Ignác Dlouhoveský (1638-1701) is the author of some forty works, mostly prayer books, the most important of which is the cycle, Ornythologia Mariana, dedicated to the Palladium of the Czech lands in Stará Boleslav. The cycle was evidently never completed. It was meant to comprise seven books containing the history of the Palladium, prayers, songs and other texts. Only the first and second volumes, Ager benedictionis (1670) and Zdoro-Slaviček (1671), have been preserved along with the title page of the third volume, Hrdlička (1673). In each book, pilgrims were guided by a symbolic bird - a lark, a (defiant) nightingale and a turtle-dove, and it was to be a dove, a swan, a swallow an a hen in subsequent works. This study focuses on the composition of the surviving books and the entire planned cycle, particularly on the literary creation of the “Marian Bohemia” space. The entire cycle is based on the central metaphor of a “blessed field“ (Agar benedictionis), on which birds sing. Each of these represents a particular kind of space and timeframe (e.g. a type of landscape or a season of the year), their task being basically to subordinate all human time and space to the Staré Boleslav Virgin Mary and to present Bohemia as a holy Marian land. By cleverly developing the basic metaphor and emphasizing the natural and numerical symbolism, Dlouhoveský espouses what is known as conceptual poetics, with which he creates the mythical space of “Marian Bohemia”, in which verticality plays an important role (linking heaven and earth, history and Czech holy relics). This is a dynamic space, primarily thanks to the emphasis on the time element: pilgrimages. Another important feature of “Marian Bohemia” is its centralization. It is not defined by borders, but just by a central point - Stará Boleslav.

a2_The literary representation of towns during the early modern age often has a tendency to depict the urban space as a utopian place, a perfectly organized and controlled community. This approach was very close to the heart of Jan Kořínek, who speaks of an idyllic “political garden”, i.e. faultless public administration, and paints a picture of Kutná Hora as a sanctified place and a paragon of Catholicism.

b2_Literární reprezentace měst v období raného novověku často směřují ke konstrukci urbánního prostoru jako utopického místa, dokonale organizované a ovládané komunity. Tento přístup byl velmi blízký i Janu Kořínkovi, který hovoří o idylické „politické zahradě“, tedy bezchybné veřejné správě a který vytváří obraz Kutné Hory jako místa posvěceného, vzorově katolického.

a1_On the boundary between cultural history and text poetics, this study compares two methods of literarily representing a town. It raises the question how literary texts create an urban space and the identity of its inhabitants and how specific literary strategies and the literary genres of the period played a role in this process. The author focuses on two important literary works in early modern literature on Kutná Hora, the second most important town in the Czech lands after Prague during the 16th and 17th centuries. The first one is Paměti (1593–1620), a town chronicle by Mikuláš Dačický of Heslov, while the second is Staré paměti kutnohorské (1675) by Jan Kořínek, presenting a combination of highly varied genres and text types, dominated by a celebratory approach. The word Paměti in the title of both works does not refer to personal memoirs but collective memory. Dačický’s Paměti only portrays the physical side of the town to a minimum extent (with exteriors and interiors, while St Barbara’s Church is mentioned more frequently as a symbol of the continuity of the town community), and it does not try to build up any notion of ideal space through description or figurative language. Dačický’s glosses and commentaries relate in particular to the social organism of the town (the idea of a closed society suppressing marginal groups, foreigners, the heterodox and others). Kořínek uses the conceptualistic baroque literary method, writing a stylized, occasionally parodistic panegyric to the town to show Kutná Hora as a distinctive and at the same time a privileged town. For this he uses refined rhetorical and intertextual strategies (e.g. description and “ekphrasis” of interiors, playing with the conventions of the humanist genre laus urbis and the like).

This study responds to the current growth of interest in the landscape, whose roots in humanities research go back to the latter half of the 1980s. The first part of the text focuses on the issue of sense perception of the world, with substantial input inter alia from Maurice Merleau-Ponty and David Abram; the second part shifts its attention to the literary depiction of space and its literary studies reflections. A basis for the author’s reflections in the middle section of the work on the phenomenon of the literary landscape is a book by Kurt H. Weber Die literarische Landschaft. Zur Geschichte ihrer Entdeckung von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart from 2010, which does not, however, maintain a sufficient distance between the perceived landscape, i.e. a certain segment of nature arranged in the direct view of the observer, and the landscape constructed by artificial means. In the conclusion to the study, the author provides his own definition of the literary landscape as a specific thematic component of literary work and points out the value of landscape descriptions in their semantic construction.

Studie reaguje na současný růst zájmu o krajinu, jehož kořeny v oblasti humanitně orientovaného bádání však sahají až do druhé poloviny 80. let minulého století. V první části se text zaměřuje na problém smyslové percepce světa, podstatné impulzy nachází mj. u Maurice Merleau-Pontyho a Davida Abrama; ve druhé části přesouvá svou pozornost k literárnímu zobrazení prostoru a jeho literárněvědným reflexím. Východisko autorova uvažování v ústřední části práce věnované fenoménu literární krajiny představuje kniha Kurta H. Webera Die literarische Landschaft. Zur Geschichte ihrer Entdeckung von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart z roku 2010, držící však nedostatečnou distanci mezi krajinou vnímanou, tj. určitým výsekem přírody uspořádaným přímým pohledem pozorovatele, a krajinou konstruovanou uměleckými prostředky. V závěru studie autor podává vlastní definici literární krajiny jako specifické tematické složky literárního díla a upozorňuje na hodnotu krajinopisných partií v jeho významové výstavbě.
