Agendy olomoucké diecéze
Agendas of the Olomouc diocese

Summary/Abstract: The study presents the issue of the so-called agendas (Agendae) of the Olomouc diocese from the end of the 14th century to the threshold of the 20th century, which have not been comprehensively treated in the diocesan context so far. Ceremonial agendas capture not only the repertoire itself but also important aspects of operational practice, i.e., the division of roles between the celebrant, other clerics, or the schola. Beginning with the earliest manuscript sources, manuscripts and prints have subsequently been compared, even for the period after 1500, when the role of the manuscript may seem seemingly anachronistic with the more massive use of printing. In some cases, the parallel use of printed and manuscript books can be observed, but also the appearance of a repertoire of agendas in early modern manuscript hymnal books.
