| Description | The article "On the Origin of the Travelogue of Václav Šašek of Bířkov and the Possibilities of Its Interpretations" searches for the yet unexploited possibilities of interpretation of the travelogue of Václav Šašek of Bířkov showing that the authors primary objective was to celebrate Leo of Rožmitál as a prototype of the perfect knight. For this reason the author neglected the political dimension of the embassy. |
