The theoretical part describes features of Czech baroque as well as typical genres of the given epoch. Additionally the thesis gives some information about the author of the book, Kryštof Fischer, and about the translator, Jan Barner. The thesis briefly defines Knihy hospodářské. The practical part is focused on the explanation of lexical elements which can be described as terms.
