To chci

Tract volumes of broadside ballad sheets (in Czech called “špalíčky”) are a phenomenon of the Czech cultural environment of the 18th and 19th centuries. These unique volumes were created thanks to their affordability and the increasing literacy of the lower classes. Thus, they can give valuable insights into the literary interests and personalities of owners from lessermapped social strata. The volumes that have survived in the collections of cultural institutions and private collectors are largely anonymous, offering very scant information about their owners. This is due to the social environment in which they were created and the low level of importance given to this information by collectors. Thus, the question arises whether an analysis of the provenance and the content of both the work bounds with another and the binding itself could aid to determine at least approximately the place of origin or provide other information about the owner(s). Two samples from the second half of the 19th century were selected to probe into the provenance of broadside ballad sheets. They both come from Rudolf Hlava’s collection, now housed in the National Museum Library, and thanks to the surviving data in archival document, they both allowed us to not only trace the place of their origin but also compare these archival data with those contained in the tract volumes themselves. The analysis has revealed the extent to which the information about the place of printing, printers, authors, publishers, and the described places of pilgrimage overlap with the findings from the archival sources. Furthermore, it discusses the reliability of the findings obtained by examining the individual aspects of the tract volumes and whether they might aid to trace the origin of the anonymous broadside ballad sheets. … celý popis
