Astronomy in Medieval Prague
Hadravová, Alena; Hadrava, Petr
2005 - English
Astronomy ranked among the septem artes liberales which achieved high level at the University of Prague already soon after its foundation by the Emperor Charles IV. in 1348. Master Claretus de Solentia (Bartholomaeus of Chlumec, c. 1320-1370), who composed a didactic work Astronomicus on Charles' order in about 1350, can be mentioned as an example of scholar of this early period. At the beginning of the 15th century, Masters Cristannus of Prachatice and Johannes Sindel were very influential astronomers in Prague University. The interest of both of them in astronomical instruments can be documented by their treatises. Astronomie náležela mezi sedm svobodných umění, které dosáhly vysoké úrovně na pražské univerzitě již po jejím založení Karlem IV. v roce 1348. Příkladem učence tohoto raného období je Mistr Klaret (Bartoloměj z Chlumce, c. 1320-1370), který kolem roku 1350 složil na přání Karla IV. didaktickou práci Astronomicus. Na začátku 15. stol. byli vlivnými astronomy na pražské univerzitě Mistr Kristan z Prachatic a Jan Sindel. Zájem obou českých učenců o astronomické přístroje dokumentují jejich pojednání.

Mikovcová, Alena
2004 - English
Studentky na lesnické fakultě v Praze ve 30. letech. Female students enrolled at the Faculty of Forestry in Prague only in the 1930s.

Female graduates had problems to find suitable job until the 1980s. Women forestry engineers earned less than comparably educated men. Distance studies were practically unavailable to women until 1980s. The number of doctoral theses defended by women was extraordinarily low. Only 9 women were awarded academic degree (PhD) at the faculties of forestry in the Czech Lands between 1952 and 1989.
