The works of Bohuslav Balbín as a source for genealogical and heraldic collecting in the 17th - 20th centuries
Abstrak
The aim of this study is to map the relationship between collectors in the field of genealogy and heraldry and the work of Bohuslav Balbín. The main emphasis was placed on the genealogical and heraldic collection of Gottfried Daniel Wunschwitz, now stored in the National Archives, as well as other collections of a similar nature stored there and in the Archives of the National Museum. A thorough analysis of the primary sources revealed that while Balbín’s writings were one of the most important sources of information for G. D. Wunschwitz on members of the aristocracy in the Kingdom of Bohemia from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, his followers in the second half of the 18th century and later hardly worked with older genealogical literature (including the work of B. Balbín). The focus of modern genealogical collecting shifted to other sources, primarily modern printed works.
