An essential source for the knowledge of the trade in printed books in the 15th century is the fragment of the German-written ledger of the Speyer publisher Peter Drach discovered in 1957 and made available for publication by the incunabulist Ferdinand Geldner (Dillingen, Studienbibliothek, Ms. XV 488). Important passages related to the Czech lands, including a list of Drach’s book-selling warehouses, have been reprinted and interpreted by Professor Ivan Hlaváček, who, however, has noted that the persons mentioned should be identified more precisely by means of local research. The author has prepared a new edition of the list of Bohemian and Moravian warehouses, in which he has slightly corrected some of Geldner’s readings and, above all, deciphered the name of Drach’s sales representative in Kutná Hora. The study provides a more detailed identification of the people in charge of the regional sales of the printed books imported by Drach’s Bohemian-Moravian commercial agent Johann Schmidhofer.
