The Church of Sts. Simon and Jude in Mojžíř

The Church of Sts. Simon and Jude in Mojžíř in Monumentorum Custos 2021, pp. 5–22; Studies

The village of Mojžíř is ranked among the oldest villages in the vicinity of Ústí nad Labem. The settlement of the southern slope of the left bank of the River Elbe is presumed to exist be­fore the middle of the 12th century. The oldest records docu­menting the existence of the rectory and church in this village can be found in the registers of papal tithes from the second half of the 14th century. The construction of the Mojžíř church must be seen in the context of the extensive construction and donation activities of Rudolf III from Bünau, which, in addition to the construction of churches, also included the extension of the Saxon Weesen­stein family castle or the construction of a family tomb in the Burkhardswalde church. The post-White Mountain construction modifications of the Mojžíř church were mainly related to changes in the church administration. The establishment of the locality of the Žežice parish in 1787 required not only the construction of a residential building for the clergyman but also the con­struction of a church in Mojžíř. The planned promotion to an independent parish, which took place in 1851, was preceded by major building alterations carried out in 1846. The con­struction of the new nave and the interior of the presbytery destroyed most of the architectural and artistic elements typi­cal of the Saxon Renaissance. Despite all these alterations the Church of the Sts. Simon and Jude undoubtedly belongs to this group.

Hop dryers in the context of the rationalization of hop growing on the Peruc estate at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries

Hop dryers in the context of the rationalization of hop growing on the Peruc estate at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Monumentorum Custos 2021, pp. 23–30; Studies

The villages of Peruc, Panenský Týnec and Žerotín are situated on the very edge of the Žatec hop-growing region, where the conditions for hop growing are not ideal. This was matched by the results of a survey carried out during the re­search task “Documentation of historic buildings used for hop processing” (project code: DG16P02B021), during which only one building was identified in Peruc and one in Panenský Týnec, for which we assume their connection with historical drying and processing of hops. Nevertheless, thanks to the preserved archival sources, we can also demonstrate the pre­cipitate growth of hop-processing buildings in this marginal hop locality during the greatest hop boom from the 1880s to the first decade of the 20th century even though none of the kilns, these sources are concerned with, survived until the present day.

Two marble heads from the ancient collection of the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague stored in the Podřipské Museum in Roudnice nad Labem

Two marble heads from the ancient collection of the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague stored in the Podřipské Museum in Roudnice nad Labem in Monumentorum Custos 2021, pp. 31–48; Studies

The presented paper focuses on the typological and chronological evaluation of two marble heads from the an­cient collection of the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague, stored and exhibited for a long time in the Podřipské Museum in Roudnice nad Labem. Modern research on ancient sculp­ture in no way focuses only on the typological classification and the resulting chronological classification. On the contrary, the interdisciplinary approach at present also allows the ex­ploration of a phenomenon that is not normally associated with ancient sculpture, namely the presence of polychromy on the surface of both sculptures. The paper also focuses on the method used for the routing survey of the surface, which can bring new pieces of knowledge about the sculptural tools used or the technology that was applied during the process of creating both sculptures.

Medieval wall paintings in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Zubrnice

Medieval wall paintings in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Zubrnice in Monumentorum Custos 2021, pp. 49–58; Documents

The article deals with medieval murals in the church of St. Mary Magdalene in Zubrnice. The paintings discovered in the 1970s have been perceived as fragmentary to the present day, and in the interior of the church without proper inter­pretation, they still appear today as a mere reminder of the medieval decoration of the church, which was refurbished in the Baroque style in the 17th century. Although these are extremely damaged paintings, it was possible to interpret at least part of the iconography of the generously conceived in­terior decoration of the medieval church in the past, in par­ticular in the nave of the church, while traces of paintings in the presbytery remain still uninterpreted due to their condi­tion in terms of its iconography. The motif of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem, the mouth of Leviathan, and the Virgin Mary the Protector are newly identified. The work without ambitions for a complex iconological interpretation of the newly identified motifs mainly compares fragments of Zubrnice paintings with related iconographic motifs existing in Bohemia and attempts to roughly date them.

Jakub Pátek et al. Zahořany

Jakub Pátek et al. Zahořany in Monumentorum Custos 2021, pp. 49–58; Seminars, Conferences, Events

This collective monograph is the result of a grant project focused on research and presentation of the cultural heritage of the Bohemian Central Highlands. The focus on Záhořany can be evaluated very positively, as the story of this seemingly ordinary village can be used to concretise a number of historical themes. The contributions of the author's collective centered around the Faculty of Arts of UJEP are divided into two unequally large parts - Journey through Time and Journey through Space.
