| Description | The study deals with the work of Cosmas‘ First Successor (for a long time referred to as the Canon of Vyšehrad) through the optics of his work with time, i.e. how and what he dates, which holy days and saints he considers significant, which public events he takes notice of and possibly highlights by pointing out their connection with the holy days. This all may not just confirm or disprove moving the writer's place of work from Vyšehrad back to the Prague Castle, (as L. Reitinger did recently), but above all reveal the author's world of thoughts and his notion of sacredness of various days and possible sanctification of certain events, or point out a constituency of events and persons that he considered important and that he was likely to be around. Last but not least, it allows to compare the concepts of time in the work of Cosmas and his Successor, focusing on their potential teacher-student relation. |
