| Description | The dedication is realized by expressing the stylized relationship between the author and the dedicator. In the case of homiletics, the author is usually a clergyman. The addressee, i.e. dedicator, is a person of both spiritual and secular status. At the same time, it often also means the patron of the author, or his favorite authority, or even an authority that could protect the publication of the sermon with its prestigious position. From the point of view of the types of dedicator, we illustrate Václav Vejmluva as a remarkable example of the collective dedicator of Nepomucena Saar sermons (1722–1736). Furthermore, we record examples of addressees in selected works of three homiletics, assessed as the most artistically significant, for whom researchers (Vašica, Kopecký, Sládek) consider D. Nitsch, and we add a dedication from his most famous work Berla královská Jezukrista (1709); B. H. J. Bilovský, we quote the dedication from Vexillum Salutis (1709) and O. de Waldt with an example from the work Chválořeč (1736). In the end, we complete the dedications in K. Račín's work Spiritual Engagement (1696). We point to the connection of personalities in the process of creation and publication of the work (author – patron – dedicator – censor; in private, at the same time, people close to each other, probably not only confessionally). |
