Learning outcomes
|
The subject focuses on the development of sphragistic and heraldic studies in the Czech lands with concern to wider European context, on heraldic and sphragistic terminology, the customs in describing seals and coats-of-arms and on the ruler?s, aristocratic, Church city and communal heraldry and sphragistics, and also on heraldry of the historical lands of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the state symbols of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic between 1918 and 1993.
The graduates display knowledge of heraldic and sphragistic terminology, sources and literature, blazoning of coats-of-arms and seals, basic heraldic figures and tinctures, the beginnings of heraldry, the development of the ruler?s, aristocratic, Church, city and guild?s heraldry and sphragistics in the Czech lands, heraldic symbols of the historical lands of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the state symbols of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic between 1918 and 1993. They are also capable of independently working with heraldic and sphragistic artefacts, describe and evaluate them and incorporate them into individual historical contexts.
