abstract

When under the decision of pope Leo XII Vatican archives were made open in 1881, Czech historic public began to occupy themselves with the possibility to send researchers, who would examine the roots related to Czech history. The proposal to establish Czech expedition was approved at the Czech Land Parliament session on 8. January 1887. An important role in the successful negotiations was played by Member of Parliament and legal historian Jaromír Čelakovský, who, in an extensive speech, illuminated the significance of Vatican archives for Czech history. Although his speech was not authentic; it was primarily based on materials, which were formerly provided to the Land Parliament by Antonín Gindely. Čelakovský, nevertheless, put the importance of Vatican into wider context, which was more comprehensible to members of parliament lacking historical education. Jaromír Čelakovský subsequently also became a member of newly established board of history at Czech Land Parliament, whose responsibility was to control and supervise. He had thus immediate impact on the activity of Czech expedition in Rome until the beginning of the First World War.
