| Description | The name of Karel Jaromír Erben is closely associated in the public mind with poems and fairy tales. Someone may realize the connection of his artistic work to ethnographic research. Others may have registered his political engagement in the revolutionary year of 1848. Or, they may recall him as an archivist or a translator – and, in this connection, as an author of Czech professional terminology. Only lawyers and historians probably know that it was largely legal terminology (because Erben studied law), and that he also engaged in other activities in the field of law, even though they were not essential in his rich life. One hundred and fifty years since Erben's death is a good opportunity to remember his work in the field of law (in the context of his unkind fate and rich professional activities). Namely his effort to make older Czech legal documents available to public, his participation in the translation of key contemporary legislation into Czech, his work on Czech legal terminology and, last but not least, his editorial work for Právník magazine. |
