Předmluvy a dedikace v české postilografii z let 1592–1620
Prefaces and dedications in Czech postilography from 1592 to 1620

Summary/Abstract: Our paper focuses on the prefaces in Czech humanist postilography from 1592 to 1620 by Martin Filadelf Zámrský, Jakub Wujek of Węgrowiec, Blažej Borovský of Borovany, Vojtěch Šebestián Scipio Berlička, Jan Kapita (2nd ed.), Jiří Dikast, Václav Slovacius, and Jakub Petrozelín Kunštátský. Two approaches for the elaboration have been selected; the first approach, primarily oriented towards the formalised aspect of text construction, concerns the arrangement of texts using recommendations from preaching theory, describing the differences between texts introduced with dedications and texts addressing the reader. The second approach, using literary theoretical premises, analyses the way the person of the "dedicatee" is formed. The article includes a brief characterisation of the elaborated prefaces and dedications.
