Abstract: Relationships between St. George´s abbey and the Court express the term "bipolar" very well. First relationship was created in the time of a foundation, i.e. in the second half of the 10th century. The foundation was controlled by the politics of the Bohemian prince (Boleslav I), and his son (Boleslav II). The first abbess, the Přemyslid Mlada (Marie), daughter of Boleslav I, played an important role and formed positions of St. George´s abbesses during whole Middle Ages. Other important factor was the St. George´s abbey position in the heart of the Prague Castle, the centre of Bohemian Princedom and Kingdom. At least, it is necessary to have in mind a primary function of this monstery as an early burial ground of Přemyslid house. The author studies various types of historical documents and defines three main of them. First, necrological notices in some manuscripts of St. George´s library contain in some cases Přemyslid names, also names of persons with connections to the monastery or abbesses. Second, the collection of St. George´s abbey manuscripts reflects fashionable and modern impacts of Bohemian court very often (for example the so called Passionale of the Abbess Cunigunde from the 20th of 14. C.). Third, a collection of St. George´s abbey charters emphasizes the sovereign and self-confident situation of the presented Monastery. At the end, the author presents some examples of the St. George´s abbey treasure (for example a pre-gothic frontispiece, a bust of St. Ludmila from the 14th C. etc.). The St. George´s abbey figured as the advanced cultural institution with many links and reflects to the Court of Bohemian Princedom and Kingdom. |
