Francysk Skaryna published in Prague in the years 1517–1519 a total of 23 books of his Russian Bible, each with its own preface and afterword. The language of the Bible should have been the contemporary living language that would be understood by ordinary people. The Czech environment certainly influenced on Skaryna’s Bible by its printing options of the Old Town of Prague, and especially by Venetian Czech Bible from 1506, which inspired Skaryna’s way of editing the layout and the content of his Russian Bible and from which are properly adapted some passages in his translation. The influence of the Czech language environment is also reflected in Skaryna´s prefaces and afterwords. Based on the analysis of prefaces and afterwords to the whole Bible and to the five books of Moses, which came out in 1519, we will try to show that some Czech borrowings were in Skaryna´s original texts used for stylistic reasons.

Some lexical correspondence of the Old Czech and the East Slavic recension of the Old Church Slavonic Gospels and Psalter have been already described. The occurrence of common variants in the Gospels of the oldest Czech Bible (the Bible of Dresden, manuscript of the second half of 14th century) and in Old Church Slavonic Chudov recension of the Gospels were explained by J. Vintr due to the influence of the Old Czech translation on the Chudov recension. Based on a thorough comparison of part of Matthew’s Gospel (Mt 7.5 – 8.14) from many manuscripts of both Slavic traditions, we demonstrate that the direction of the effect was opposite – the East Slavic Gospel text influenced the translation of the Gospels in the oldest manuscript of Old Czech Bible. We believe that such influence was not an isolated phenomenon but it occurred on several occasions, at least until the end of the 14th century.
