Jiří Smrž, Cech pražských mečířů v letech 1731–1860 [The Prague sword-makers’ guild in 1731–1860]
9–57

Abstract
The study reconstructs the history of Prague’s sword-making organization in the late guild era, i.e., in the years 1731–1860. The author works primarily with sources of a normative nature (in particular guild statutes), complemented by findings from surviving record books. This allowed for a comparison of how the real life of Prague’s sword-makers as described in the books differed from the standards required by the guild’s statutes. The passages on the history of the guild and the various groups of its members (apprentices, journeymen, and master sword-makers) are complemented by a description of the workshop of the last Prague sword-maker Antonín Preis, based on the as yet underutilized writings of Preis’s daughter (manuscript no. 7857 at the Prague City Archives). The introductory chapter on the source materials also acts as a methodological guide to the study of the most recent period in the history of Prague’s guilds.

Key words: sword-makers – crafts – guilds – technology – Prague – modern era

Alžběta Laňová, Vývoj chirurgické profese od období pozdního středověku do roku 1848 na území Prahy [The history of the surgical profession in Prague from the late Middle Ages until 1848]
59–121

Abstract
The study’s objective is to trace the history of the surgical profession in Prague from its beginnings until 1848, when surgery was incorporated into the field of medicine. With a view towards to roots of the medical discipline, the author chose to first introduce various related professions and then to explore the relationship between and changing roles of barbers and surgeons. One necessary foundation for this paper is a brief summary of the state of medicine at the time and its prior development. Based on a study of source materials from the Prague Guild of Surgeons, the article describes this organization’s incorporation into the broader healthcare system, its functioning and status, and the rights and obligations of its members. The author also provides a more detailed description of surgeons’ changing educational requirements, from learning within the framework of their guild all the way to studying at university. The profession’s social status changes very little during the period under review, and its outside perception remained rather negative.

Key words: surgeons – barbers – Prague Guild of Surgeons – history of medicine – healthcare professions – Prague – hygienic professions

Jan Mokre, Über Joseph Daniel von Huber (1730/31–1788) und seine kartographischen Werke unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der perspektivischen Pläne von Prag und Wien [Joseph Daniel Huber (1730/31–1788) and his cartographic works, with a special view towards his perspective maps of Prague and Vienna]
123–172

Abstract
In the Habsburg monarchy in the mid-18th century, the task of creating maps moved from civil land surveyors to military engineers. One such outstanding military cartographer was Joseph Daniel Huber. Huber studied at the Imperial Engineering Academy in Vienna, worked as a military cartographer during the Seven Years’ War, and later participated in the Josephinian Land Survey. He also created two impressive (in terms of content and technique) large-format perspective views of Prague and Vienna that are among the most important visual representations of cities in the world. The five-square-meter perspective map of Prague (1769) is considered the most important visual and cartographic depiction of late-Baroque Prague. Maria Theresa later commissioned Huber to produce a similar perspective representation of Vienna. Work on this map was concluded in May 1773, after which the nearly fifteen-square-meter ink drawing was presented to the empress. It is considered one of the most valuable perspective drawings of a city from the 18th century. Unlike with the Prague map, for the Vienna image Huber received the right to create copper etchings and to sell the prints made in 1778.

Key words: Joseph Daniel Huber, 18th century, Prague, Vienna, urban representations, perspective maps, cartography

Pavla Savická, Kulturní diplomacie na Příkopech: vzestup a pád Společenského klubu v Praze [Cultural diplomacy on Na Příkopě: The rise and fall of Prague’s Social Club]
173–202

Abstract
Gentleman’s clubs are an integral part of English culture, and in the 1920s some members of Prague’s intellectual elite yearned to have a similar institution. Thanks to the efforts of influential individuals associated with President T. G. Masaryk and Minister of Foreign Affairs Edvard Beneš, the exclusive Social Club was founded in the Baroque-era Sylva Taroucca Palace on the city’s Na Příkopě Street. The club’s numerous salons and its library, smoking room, and restaurant were meant to introduce foreign visitors to Prague to the elite of Czech society. The Social Club was part of the young republic’s sophisticated promotional apparatus, but it also succeeded in becoming an authentic center of cultural life, a popular meeting place for well-known journalists, authors, painters, politicians, diplomats, and actors. The club’s members included many leading figures of the First Republic. It was thus foreordained that the events of 1938 would have a serious impact on the Social Club. After the club’s half-secret Arianization it was disbanded outright, only to be reopened under a different name and a partial change in management. The expulsion of Jewish members resulted in a postwar suit against some of the club’s representatives on the basis of the “Small Decree” for offenses against the national honor. The history of the Social Club thus reflects the effort at building a democratic Czechoslovakia… and its failure.

MATERIALIA

Robert Gája, K možnostem rekonstrukce farních hranic na Starém Městě pražském v době předhusitské [On the possibilities of reconstructing the parish boundaries in Prague’s Old Town during the pre-Hussite era]
205–252

Abstract
The paper’s objective is to reconstruct the territorial parish boundaries in Prague’s Old Town during the pre-Hussite era. In view of the lack of complete description of parish boundaries for most parishes before the end of the 16th century, the parishes’ size and extent has been reconstructed primarily using partial information regarding which parish various buildings or parishioners belonged to over a longer period of time – from the 14th century up to the defeat of the Bohemian estates at White Mountain in 1620. The topographical determination of houses according to parish is found primarily in town books recording the sale of houses. The names of parishioners (primarily clerks working for the religious authorities) are found in town books starting in the late Middle Ages and, starting in the 16th century, in the surviving books of accounts kept by the parish authorities. These persons’ addresses were then determined on the basis of topographically organized editions of town books.

Key words: church – territorial parishes – boundaries – medieval – parish community – Old Town – Prague

Jan Kilián, „…von Prag wieder heimkommen“. Pražské obzory Krupských v první polovině 17. století [“…von Prag wieder heimkommen”. The Prague prospects of the residents of Krupka in the first half of the 17th century]
253–271

Abstract
The paper looks at the journeys to Prague undertaken by the residents of the north Bohemian mining town of Krupka, their contacts with the capital (in particular with their manorial lord, who resided in Prague), and their view of events in Prague during the two decades leading up to the Battle at White Mountain and during the dangerous times of the Thirty Years’ War. The author concludes with a comparison with another mining town located on the edge of Bohemia, the town of Kašperské Hory in western Bohemia.

Key words: northwestern Bohemia – Krupka – Prague – history of travel – 17th century – Thirty Years’ War

Eva Chodějovská, Plány Prahy Josefa Daniela Hubera v kontextu pražské kartografie 18. století a jejich role v rámci studia „obrazu Prahy“ v moderní době [Joseph Daniel Huber’s maps of Prague within the context of 18th-century Prague cartography, and their role in the study of “the image of Prague” in the modern era]
273–308

Abstract
The aim of the study is to analyze the work of military cartographer Joseph Daniel Huber, the author of two important cartographic depictions of Prague in the second third of the 18th century, and to place it within the context of other “visual representations” of the city. In line with the dilemma of early modern cartography, Huber’s work can be seen as a bridge between the pragmatic work of the cartographer and the creative artifact produced by the artist. The study’s first part places his work within the context of Prague cartography at the time. Working on the basis of her previous studies – in which a cartometric analysis led to surprising conclusions as to the relationship between the two maps that contradict the conclusions of the earlier literature (in particular J. Hofman) – the author provides an overview of hypotheses regarding the possible relationships between Huber’s Pragensia work and 18th-century maps of Prague and Bohemia.
The foundations for a detailed analysis of Huber’s work were laid in the 1920s and ’30s. This unfinished phase of research is no less important and makes Huber’s work attractive from the viewpoint of the historiography of Prague: 150 years after his death, Huber was the reason for widespread disagreement and less than dignified rivalries that offer insight into the relationships among and working conditions of Pragensia researchers in the first half of the 20th century. This issue, which is important for understanding the signifikance of Huber’s work, forms the subject of the second part of the study.
The study thus looks at Huber’s work from the viewpoint of a historian of cartography – on the one hand, the author makes use of available analytical methods in order to understand his work; on the other hand, she describes it within the broad historical context of its era, thus emphasizing its social role. The maps cease to be mere sources of information about the city’s construction history and spatial layout, and become original works of art with specific fates of their own.
