Geschichte von Boehmen by Frantisek Palack
A highly influential Czech historian and politician, Franti ek Palacky (1798 1876) became in 1825 the first editor of the journal of the Bohemian Museum, a key cultural institution in the development of Czech nationalism. He was actively involved in the nineteenth-century Czech national revival, helping also to found the Czech national theatre. Entering politics in 1848, he served as president of the Prague Slavic Congress, and later became a member of the Austrian senate as a supporter of greater Czech autonomy. In this extensive work, comprising ten separate parts published in German between 1836 and 1867 Palacky gives a detailed account of Bohemian history until 1526. It remains an important and ambitious feat of scholarship, still relevant to students of central European history. The third part of Volume 3 (1854) deals with the first years of the Council of Basel from 1431 to 1439.| SKU | Unavailable |
