Studniční stavení ve Zlaté Koruně jako před-parléřovská stavebnice. Příklad inkorporace dlouhodobě deponovaných článků do mladší stavby

The aim of the paper is to present to present the results of the field survey of the fragments of the cloister lavatorium in Zlatá Koruna monastery and to present a proposal for reassessing the existing views on its building history. On the basis of formal analysis and comparison with local shape-related architectural parts, re-claimed by recent research, it proposes to accept the parts of cloister lavatorium as pre-Parlerian, and thus dating from around and after 1300. The paper does not dispute the building sequence of the convent and cloister as a whole, as accepted by the previous literature – it suggests that the parts of cloister lavatorium were made at the same time as the vault shafts of the north-west corner of the cloister and possibly the vault shafts of abbot’s chapel, and deposited in the grounds of the monastery building workshop before they could be incorporated into the building. Arguments for accepting the cloister lavatorium fragments as pre-Parlerian are their close formal association with the shafts of the north-west bay of the cloister, for which an early dating to c. 1300 and after is highly probable. Accepting the cloister lavatorium parts as a product of the construction phase of the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries means partially reconsidering the existing views on the pace of construction of the royal monastery of Zlatá Koruna. This seems to have been greater than research assumed at the turn of the centuries.
