STUDIA ET COMMENTATIONES

Jiří Smrž, Pražští mečíři ve středověku a raném novověku [Prague Swordsmiths in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period]
21–58

Abstract
The case study focusses on the history of the swordsmith guilds of the Prague towns in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period. The author presents the possibilities and limits of studying the earliest history of the Prague guilds and offers an innovative path to dating the founding of the guild – an analysis of the professional composition of sponsors during the acceptance of new burghers. This method enabled the author to date the creation of the earliest swordsmith guild, which was founded in Prague Old Town, to the first half of the 15th century. Attention is also paid to the statewide character of the Old Town guild and its relationship with swordsmith organisations in other parts of the Prague agglomeration. A description of the struggle by journeymen to create a “smaller guild” (i.e. a confraternity) in the second half of the 16th century makes for an interesting chapter.

Marie Buňatová, Podnikání žen v raně novověké Praze a jejich zapojení do obchodu s kramářským zbožím [Women in Business in Early Modern Prague and Their Involvement in Trade with Small Goods]
59–100

Abstract
The study is focused on the business activity of Christian and Jewish women in Early Modern Prague, including the legal conditions under which these women could trade the relevant goods in society at the time and how these laws were applied in standard economic practice. Attention is also paid to Jewish women, whose business activities, unlike those of burgher women, were also influenced by other regulations applying to Jews as a whole (prohibition on retail sales, higher customs tariffs, etc.). Likewise investigated are the connections between the acceptance of town law by women in Prague Old and New Towns and their trades. The attitudes of Old Town metalsmith and trader guilds towards these women doing business are also described and indicate that the involvement of women in the economy was very widespread in Prague society of the time. Numerous specific cases are presented to study individual forms of their activities, from small sales at markets or in small shops (small goods merchants) up to involvement in large family companies with foreign contacts. As such, this information provides a clearer view of pre-White Mountain society in Prague and indicates that burgher and Jewish women engaging in business on various levels not only contributed to the trade of goods but were integral parts of these operations.

Keywords: Early Modern period – Prague – women – Jewish women – town law – guilds – trade – small goods – business companies

Jiří Pešek – Nina Lohmann, Praha – Vídeň – Varšava: Tři hlavní města nových republik. Pokus o komparativní pohled na jejich vývoj v prvním desetiletí po Velké válce [Prague – Vienna – Warsaw: Three Capital Cities of New Republics. An Attempt at a Comparative View of Their Development in the First Decade after the Great War]
101–142

Abstract
The article takes a look at three capitals of new Central European republics in the first decade after the First World War, with the authors attempting to identify the best criteria to compare the development of large cities. Quantitative indicators do not capture the complex reality of historical processes and the clash between the general political situation, the question of urban modernisation, the necessity of solving urgent problems of a general social (mainly housing and healthcare) character and the issue of financing the extensive public investments necessary in this period. Therefore, the authors first look at the self-reflection (or, rather, self-presentation) of the cities themselves during the 10-year anniversary celebrations of the founding of the republic. The second part of the study then, using the example of selected key areas, highlights the reasons and circumstances for the varied success among individual cities. In the opinion of the authors, the key to understanding the situation is the legislative standing of communal administration and its relationship with the national government.

Keywords: interwar period – Prague – Vienna – Warsaw – comparative city history – communal government – urban modernisation

Olga Fejtová, Sociální politika hlavního města Prahy v meziválečném období. Komunální institucionální péče ve středoevropském kontextu [Prague Social Policy in the Interwar Period.Municipal Institutional Care in the Central European Context]
143–177

Abstract
The study is focussed on the formation and implementation of communal social policy in the area of closed – institutional care in the period between the two World Wars in the capital city of Prague. Using the example of the idea and implementation of a project for a central care institute – the Masaryk Homes – the article describes the concept for social care in interwar Prague in comparison with the situation in Vienna and Warsaw, two cities whose officials approached this issue from opposite poles. While Viennese officials had viewed institutional care as the foundation for addressing social problems in the city since the turn of the century, Warsaw administration based its newly built post-war social system on open care. The work compares not only the concept of the communal social policy of all three cities in the context of state-wide social measures and the specific results of their implementation in the social, health and economic fields, but also the politicians involved in these matters and their activities in this sphere. The transfer of models for addressing social institutional and closed care in the individual cities is also discussed.

Keywords: interwar period – Prague – Vienna – Warsaw – Masaryk Homes – city administration – social policy – social care

MATERIALIA

Ota Halama, Anna Marie Trejtlarová z Krošvic († 9. ledna 1626) [Anna Marie Trejtlarová of Krošvice († 9 January 1626)]
181–208

Abstract
The article summarises and expands known information on the Prague family of the Trejtlars of Krošvice, with a particular focus on the fate and the book-literary estate of Anna Marie Trejtlarová of Krošvice (†1626). Anna Marie came from a Prague family with roots in the paternal line in Silesia and Lusatia. Her father, Václav Trejtlar, was an ennobled cloth trader, while her mother, Anna Mrázová of Milešovka, was a former Litoměřice burgheress. Anna Marie’s family had close ties to leading Brethren families in the capital city (Sixts of Ottersdorf, Adams of Veleslavín), and she was also a member of the the Unity of the Brethren congregation herself. Anna Marie and her mother attended Brethren services in the Bethlehem Chapel after 1609, and her estate contains many Brethren texts, including her own records of Unity of Brethren sermons delivered at the Bethlehem Chapel in 1610–1611. After Anna Marie died in Prague on 9 January 1626, her mother and sister left Prague and the country and spent their remaining years in Saxony. Three largely unknown texts are edited in the appendix: a prayer of Anna Marie Trejtlarová and two printed funeral remembrances delivered over her grave by minister Pavel Černovický in 1626.

Keywords: Early Modern period – Bohemian church history – Prague – Unity of the Brethren – Trejtlars of Krošvice

Agata Bryłka-Jesionek, Siedemnastowieczna codzienność w świetle czeskich druków kalendarzowych (w zbiorach Archivu hlavního města Prahy) [Everyday Life in the 17th Century in Light of Bohemian Printed Calendars (from the Collections of the Prague City Archives)]
209–276

Abstract
The aim of the study is to present printed calendars of Prague from the collections of the Old and Rare Print Collection at the Prague City Archives, i.e. 63 years from 1594–1698 published under 28 titles. These calendars were used by officials of Prague Old Town ‘Šestipanský’ Office (a special office for economic, market and construction matters composed of six individuals – the figure from which the name is derived). The presented calendars fulfilled not only a notification function, with events related to the everyday official practice of their users recorded on their pages; they also provided valuable information from economic, political and social life.
The article presents editors, publishers and also the group of users of these calendars. Their structure is described along with the most important subjects they contain. Also addressed is the question of their place in the daily life of the residents of the Prague towns during the Thirty Years’ War, the following decades and also during the time of the Turkish threat.

Keywords: 1594–1698 – Prague – calendars – city administration – everyday life

Lukáš Pátý, Nemocnice jako několikasetletý předmět dohadování mezi státními a městskými úřady. Správní dějiny Všeobecné fakultní nemocnice a její fond v Archivu hlavního města Prahy [The Hospital as a Centuries-Long Subject of Disputes between State and City Authorities. The Administrative History of the General University Hospital and Its Records in the Prague City Archives]
277–334

Abstract
The article is divided into three parts: The first chapter details the administrative history of the General Hospital in Prague (today the General University Hospital) from its founding in 1790 up to the present, especially clashes of influence between state and city administration on the hospital and its operation. Using existing literature, sources and period legal texts, the study attempts to clarify our knowledge of the specific legal character of this hospital. The complicated organisational history of the hospital has a practical consequence to this day in the form of the division of its records into two archives: one at the Prague City Archives, the other in the National Archives. The work focuses in detail on the records in the City Archives, an analysis of which is the subject of the third chapter. The second chapter untangles the network of complicated ties between the General University Hospital and other healthcare facilities that have remained more on the periphery of attention in existing literature. It facilitates an understanding of these relationships and provides information on the possible filing of documents from subsidiary and affiliated facilities in the records of the General University Hospital in the Prague City Archives or their deposition in other collections.

335–360

Abstract
The article outlines the possibilities and results to date of a comparative study of the post-war development of the Central European cities of Prague and Vienna. The work focusses on the issue of planning and managing the expansion of both cities while also peripherally addressing conceptual social policy and housing construction in the period of 1946–1990/2005. It suggests possibilities for research on continuity, trends, changes in conceptions, reversals and the objectively observable results of the expansion of ‘capitalistic’ Vienna compared to ‘socialist’ and ‘post-socialist’ Prague. This research can reflect the degree to which the development of the two cities was influenced by specific social, economic and political conditions, or political-ideological doctrines, while, on the other hand, it can define common trends in the development of large European cities in the second half of the 20th century and on the threshold of the 21st century.

Keywords: Prague – Vienna – city administration – city development planning – post-war renewal – urbanism – regulation – modernisation – city hall – building office – city infrastructure – communal construction – housing construction – social housing
