Lucie Doležalová (born 3 July 1977) is a Czech medievalist, philologist, literary scholar, and translator. She specializes in Latin literature and manuscript culture of the late Middle Ages, particularly the manuscripts by the Czech scribe Crux of Telč (1434–1504), mnemonics (the art of memory), colophons, and obscure texts.[1][2]
Life
[edit]Lucie Doležalová studied at Palacký University in Olomouc and Central European University in Budapest, where she defended her dissertation in 2005 on the late antique text Cena Cypriani. She worked as a research fellow at the University of Zurich and conducted study and research visits at universities in Europe and the United States. Since 2008, she has been teaching at the Institute of Greek and Latin Studies at the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University in Prague. She is a member of the scientific council of the Centre for Medieval Studies.[3]
In 2012, she obtained her habilitation, and at the end of 2021, she was appointed professor in the field of Greek and Latin studies. In April 2022, she and her colleagues were awarded the Bedřich Hrozný Prize for their project "Creative Copying", which resulted in a monography on the scribe Crux of Telč and an extensive catalogue of medieval libraries of Augustinian canons in Třeboň and Borovany. In the same month, she received the Magnesia Litera 2022 award in the category of publishing achievement for another publication on the Lipnice Bible that she prepared with her team.[3]
