Julie Nováková – osud osobnosti

The paper briefly outlines the life and work of Julie Nováková (1909–1991), the first Czech woman to lecture in the Prague Linguistic Circle. She recently published the lectures that she originally gave in the PLC at Palacký University in Olomouc (1948–1961) as an associate professor of ancient history. After the dissolution of the department, she moved to the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, where she was employed (1961–1973) in the department for the study of the works of Jan Amos Komenský. There she reached the peak of her career, publishing outstanding editions, educating a new generation of scholars, and deciphering the autograph of Komenský’s Clamores Eliae. She mentioned the PLC in the manuscript of her Memoirs.
