Abstract
The paper aims to present the form of the early modern tomb, which is not regarded as a part of the burial ground as a museum of memories of the past. First and foremost, we will look at these monuments through the optics of epigraphic sources and the inscription form.
So-called "divorcement" final formula is very interesting in this context, which has been in these inscriptions in connection with the penetration of the doctrine of purgatory into the general mentality since the 14th century. Does the influence of this influence really alter the inscription in "instruction and challenge", as Philippe Ariès put it in his studies? With the subject of the purgatory, the problem of the revenants - the ones who suffer in their sins, we have their revelation as the evidence for this.
Until now, the issue of the so-called revenants grave remains unresolved. However, in this case, it is not a material form of the grave as such, but rather a return "in persona".
This is related to the question of whether the revenants grave represent a material monument and whether the presence of returnees in the iconographic and epigraphic culture of tombs found in the Bohemia areas can be traced.
