Miracles, Marvels, and the Plague in the Czech-Written Travelogue by Christopher Harant of Polžice and Bezdružice (1564-1621)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The expansion of letter-print in the course of the 16th century resulted in widening the intellectual horizon of the educated strata of the Bohemian society. The printed publications included translations of foreign works devoted to geography, botany and other natural sciences, as well as original local writings. Information from cosmographic literature was thus mainly accompanied by printed books of travels portraying the experiences of the Bohemian adventurers who would set out to the lands of the Middle East. Although the motivation of their travels was not primarily that of natural history, the accounts also provided testimonies about marvelous natural substances known for their medical use. The aim of the presented essay is to show how printed literature (from the fields of geography, medicine and botany, and books of travels) helped form the traditional discourse on the natural Marvels of the East in the Bohemian environment during the early modern times.
