The first half of the sixties of the twntieth century implied a certain landmark in the Czechoslovak history when the dynamic economic development in the fifties was changed for the economic stagnation. The lowest annual increases of national product during the central planning in Czechoslovakia were created just in this period. The lowest growth of the national product was reached in 1963 when the national product decreased in absolute value of 2.1 % in comparable prices. This negative value was unusual even among other countries of the socialistic block. This diploma thesis deals with causes of this stagnation of the Czechoslovak economy in the first half of the sixties of the twentieth century.

The aim of the dissertation is to provide a comprehensive picture of the Court of Appeals in the Czech lands from its foundation in 1548 to the early 17th century. This period represents a compact stage of development, when the status, authority and personnel structure are formatted and above all the shaping of decision-making and procedural practice occurs.

This change from religious to medical care is very clear in the period if Enlightenment. Reflexion of this change from religious to medical care is also vivid in czech environment in 1869-1914.

Práce je věnována osobnosti malíře a osvícenského erudity v jedné osobě, Janu Jakubovi Quirinu Jahnovi (1739-1802) a jeho nedokončenému projektu dějin umění založeném na životopisech umělců. Protože součástí práce je také komentovaná edice, je rozdělena na dvě části - teoretickou studii a komentovanou edici. Teoretická část sumarizuje vývoj biografií umělců od antiky až do konce 18. století v Evropě. Další kapitoly jsou pak zaměřeny na osobnost Jana Jakuba Quirina Jahna a jeho rukopis o dějinách umění. Tento rukopis se skládá ze tří částí - úvodní historické studie, výběru životopisů umělců, kteří do Jahnovy současnosti působili v Čechách a z ukázky medailonů, které Jahn shromažďoval excerpcí ze zahraniční literatury, doplňoval archivním výzkumem a nakonec je řadil do složek podle panování.
