Abstracts

EN

This study draws attention to new facts coming out of the scribal colophons of a manuscript miscellany held by the St. James Parsonage Library in Brno and it completes curriculum vitae of Martin of Tišnov who used to be known as a scribe of manuscripts and the author of two Latin panegyrics. He is documented as a parson in Sebranice in the Blansko region at least in the years 1475-1483. He was in connection with the important family of noblemen of Boskovice for a long time. For the time being, however, we are not sure if he can be identified with the printer Martin of Tišnov who edited a Czech Bible in Kutná Hora in 1489 an who also edited the two earliest Prague prints in 1478.
