Petr Houzar

The book deals with the study of heraldic charters from the pre-Bohemian period, when the promotion of villages to towns and towns to cities limited the power of the royal towns. The study examines the diplomatic and heraldic aspects of the charters, including the details of the emblems granted, which often differed in the Czech and German descriptions. A unique part of the book is the register, which provides a substantial recapitulation of the charters.

To be published in winter 2024.
