This work gives an overview of up to date knowledge of the Final Pleistocene in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, within the period known in archaeology as Late Palaeolithic. Apart from the review of results of previous research, six Late Palaeolithic chipped stone assemblages have been analyzed on techno-typological level. These assemblages have been put in context with contemporaneous sites in given region to create a map of Late Palaeolithic settlement. Quantification of most raw materials used in different sites made it possible to distinguish three to five raw material provinces, i.e. areas supplied with a concrete raw material type. These areas are probably identical with hunting territories of Late Palaeolithic hunters of Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian territory. Keywords: Late Palaeolithic, chipped stone industry, raw materials, operational sequences, Bohemia, Moravia 2

This thesis focuses on the gifts of Czech and Moravian nobility to the church during the High Middle Ages. The pious gifts (Donations) are fundamental for the understanding of medieval devotion and for some aspects of medieval society. In the Middle Ages, the last wills and testaments expressed people's wishes, attitudes and intentions with respect both to these worldly and other matters. They express attitudes to other family members, to property, to life and death, to community and social groups, to the Church, to Saints and to God. The pious donations, support for the poor and the burial near Saints open up the gates to Heaven. But the pious donations are not only a part of one's care for the soul and redemption in the Middle Ages. The donations have complicated background.

Utilizando as concepções de Laurent Jenny e Julia Kristeva, estudaremos a relação entre os contos de Moravia e a Mitologia, buscando elucidar novas leituras resultantes de tal relação. Além disso, verificaremos a presença do humor pirandeliano nos contos e na retomada intertextual, partindo da hipótese de que Moravia, ao utilizar-se dos mitos e compor tais contos em chave metafórica, pôde veicular sua crítica à realidade existencial italiana, relacionada aos acontecimentos da primeira metade do século XX / The aim of the present study is to analyze, firstly, the intertextual dialogue between the short stories of Racconti Surrealisti e Satirici, by the italian writer Alberto Moravia and Greek and Roman mythology. Based on the studies of Laurent Jenny and Julia Kristeva, we intend to observe new meanings brought to the narratives as a result of that dialogue. Furthermore, we aim at verifying the presence of humor, as defined by Luigi Pirandello, in those short stories and in the intertextual relation, based on the hypothesis that Moravia, by using myths and by composing his narratives as metaphors, could witness the italian existential reality related to the happenings in the first half of twentieth century
