Author Description

<p><i>Kronika Ä eská</i> (Chronicle of Bohemia) by Václav Hájek of LiboÄ any is a seminal, though often fictionalized, historical work. This edition, "Kronika Ä eská. Podle originálu z r. 1541 vydal V. Flajhans", presents the chronicle according to the original from 1541, edited by V. Flajhans. Hájeks chronicle, completed in 1541, offers a comprehensive, albeit sometimes embellished, account of Bohemian history from its mythical origins to the early 16th century. It was immensely popular and influential for centuries, shaping Czech national identity and historical understanding. This edition provides valuable insights into the historical consciousness of the Czech Renaissance and the enduring legacy of Hájeks narrative. The chronicle covers a vast sweep of events, legends, and figures, making it a cornerstone of Czech literature and historical writing.</p> <p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
