114–124
The article deals with the questions of diocesis synods and synodal statutes in the Czech lands in medieval ages. The first half of the article is devoted to publications dealing with this topic and editions of synodal statutes. Almost all of the scholars published and examined the Prague synodal statutes during several centuries. The period of the 1970s was a witness to a boom of works refering to the concerned questions - we can provide the most important names such as Zdeňka Hledíková, Rostislav Zelený, Jaroslav Palec and Jaroslav Kadlec.
The second most important diocesis in the Czech lands is that one of Olomouc. Contrary to the Prague synodal statutes, the Olomouc statutes of the 14th and 15th centuries have not been examined yet, and, as for editions, we have nothing better than an old, antiquated and insufficient edition published by A.T. Fasseau (dated from 1766). The main purpose of the article is to draw attention to the stated facts and raise tasks for scholars. A list of manuscripts with copies of synodal statutes of the Olomouc diocesis from the 14th century till the 50s of the 15th century is included.
