Abstract

The study focuses on questions relating to the deaths of professors of the Utraquist university in Prague from the late fifteenth century to the early seventeenth century (cause of death, funerals, estates, forms and means of commemoration, etc.). It is based on sources of official provenance as well as on certain egodocuments and literary, iconographic, and material sources. Because from the Middle Ages they most commonly served as the final resting places of university masters, attention is also devoted to the Corpus Christi Chapel in New Town, Prague, and the Bethlehem Chapel in Old Town, Prague.
