Reflecting Jerusalem in the Medieval Czech Lands maps the reception, reflection, and translation of Jerusalem in medieval Czech lands. The volume deals with Jerusalem as an idea and traces it not only in time but in various forms of art as well – such as architecture, book and wall-painting, and different literary genres – with the aim of covering the whole spectrum of Jerusalem images in medieval Czech lands. Special attention is paid to the interim period, when the Czech lands “lost” direct contact with the Holy Land and the idea of Jerusalem was mediated through Western European and Italian sources.
