History Of The Czech Language
The Czech language developed at the close of the 1st millennium from common West Slavic. Until the early 20th century, it was known as ''Bohemian''. Early West Slavic Among the innovations in common West Slavic is the palatalization of velar ''ch'' > ''š'' (''vьšь'' 'all'), while ''s'' (''vьsь'') developed in the East and South Slavic dialects. Within West Slavic, Czech and Slovak separated from Polish around the 10th to 12th centuries. Some other changes took place during roughly the 10th century: * ''the disappearance and vocalization of yers'' according to Havlík’s Yer Law (''bъzъ > bez, bъza > bza'' ( gen.), later ''bezu'' 'elder, lilac'); * the contraction of groups ''vowel + j + vowel'' ( 'good'); * the ''denasalization'' of nasal ''ę'' ��> ''ä'' and ''ǫ'' �> ''u''. The disappearance of the odd yers strengthened the phonological contrast of palatalized (softened) and unpalatalized consonants, and resulted in alterations of epenthetic ''e'' and � ...

History Of Christianity In The Czech Republic
The history of Christianity in the Czech lands began in the 9th century. Moravia was the first among the Czech lands, three historical regions of what now forms the Czech Republic whose ruling classes officially adopted Christianity, between the 830s and the 860s. In 845 Bohemian chieftains or ''duces'' also converted to the new faith, but it was just a short-lived political gesture (next year they returned to Slavic mythology, paganism). The real beginning of efforts to promote Christianity in Bohemian territory has to be placed in the period after 885. Moravia was the earliest center of the Old Church Slavonic liturgy after the arrival of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Constantine (Cyril) and Methodius in 863, but their opponents, mainly priests of Germans, German origin, achieved the banishment of their disciplines in the 880s. Bohemia became the center of Christianization following the fall of Moravia in the early 10th century. Changes in burials and the erection of churches t ...

Ancient Moravia Around 60 BC the Celtic Volcae people withdrew from the region and were succeeded in turn by the Germanic people, Germanic Quadi. Several hundred years later, in the 6th century AD the Slavic tribes arrived in this territory often crossed during the Migration Period by successive Germanic and major Slavic tribes. At the end of the 8th century the Moravian Principality came into being in present-day south-eastern Moravia, Záhorie in south-western Slovakia and parts of Lower Austria.

16th-century Christian Texts
The 16th century began with the Julian year 1501 (represented by the Roman numerals MDI) and ended with either the Julian or the Gregorian year 1600 (MDC), depending on the reckoning used (the Gregorian calendar introduced a lapse of 10 days in October 1582). The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova. These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science. Galileo Galilei became a champion of the new sciences, invented the first thermometer and made substantial contributions in the fields of phy ...

The Church was established as a reaction to practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Hus wanted to return the Church in Bohemia and Moravia to the practices of early Christianity: performing the liturgy in the language of the people, allowing lay people to receive both the bread and the cup during communion, and eliminating Papal indulgences and the idea of purgatory. The movement gained royal support and a certain indepen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
