Graveyards of the Czech Reformation

This bachelor work focuses on the issue of burial rite before the year 1620. The first part points to the origin of new graveyards. Furthermore, it presents three elementary causes of their establishment. The main aim of the second part is to describe the concrete graveyards from the South Bohemia which were created in this period. The initial literature was the encyclopaedia Města a městečka v Čechách, na Moravě a ve Slezsku which was written by Karel Kuča. The historical sources for my work were some gravestones and graveyard portals. The main written sources were the books of early modern law which can help discover the issue of founding new early modern graveyards
