abstract

This contribution draws attention to friendly connections between Jaromír Čelakovský who was a historian of Czech law (a professor of the faculty of law at the university in Prague) and Josef Kalousek, a professor of Czech history at the faculty of arts. Their friendship was also supported by their shared interests, especially in Czech state law. There was also a connection through the difficult position of their branches at both their faculties as Czech history or Czech history of law (their fields of study) were not compulsory lectures during the Hapsburg era and they were not included in the state final exams. The contribution is characterized by a quotation coming from Josef Kalousek’s letter to Jaromír Čelakovský: “Oakum is burning”. This expression means speed or pressing matters in Czech language. It symbolizes the correspondence because there are solved only urgent issues (editing the texts, typesetting etc.) as they met every Saturday evening in a restaurant to settle all other questions. A part of their friendship was also characterized by Josef Kalousek’s concern to publish Jaromír Čelakovský’s rectorial speech which is discussed at the end of the contribution.
