| Description | Imagination of others in medieval texts offers important insights in “Gedankenwelte” of individual authors. Their comparison in time and space provide us with understanding of long-term processes and enables to recognize stability and change. Important segment of that analysis is construction of geographical horizon. In my paper, I will scrutinize geographical horizons on regional sample (Czech lands until 1400). This region was selected based on two reasons: 1) Its borders stabilized relatively soon and as such they were recognized by the first chronicler of Bohemia Cosmas of Prague (+1125); 2) Especially historiographical texts written in that region constitute clearly recognizable group of texts that are closely related textually and due to their manuscript tradition. |
