Beskrivelse

Reflecting Jerusalem in the Medieval Czech Lands maps the reception, reflection, and translation of Jerusalem in medieval Czech lands. The volume deals with Jerusalem as an idea and traces its reception, reflection, and transformation not only in time but in various forms of art as well - such as architecture, book and wall-painting, and different literary genres - with the aim of covering the whole spectrum of Jerusalem images in medieval Czech Lands. Hence, the volume includes essays from across several disciplines of medieval studies using different methodological approaches to offer the most comprehensive synthesis of the topic. Special attention is paid to the interim period, when the Czech lands "lost" direct contact with the Holy Land and the idea of Jerusalem was mediated through Western European and Italian sources. This brings to the fore the process of appropriation of the idea of the Holy City, which had already been adapted in a different cultural environment, and the way this idea was transformed in Czech discourse.
