Annotation

The seminar is devoted to the reading and analyzing medieval legends about the twelve apostles. It is based on a commented reading of the Old Czech Passional and its comparison with the classical work "Legenda aurea" of James de Voragine.

At the same time, the sources of these apostolic legends are searched, with an emphasis on non-biblical apocryphal literature.
