Th e fi rst one, dating from the 17th century, is rich in diff erent types of scribal errors and serves as an interesting example of ways of amending them. Th e second one, dating from the 15th century, includes interesting illuminations and calligraphy. Th is paper is a detailed analysis of these manuscripts, including their covers, decorations and scribal errors.

In 1579, the printing workshop of Jiří Melantrich of Aventin published Práva městská Království českého [Municipal Laws of the Kingdom of Bohemia] by the Chancellor of the Old Town of Prague, Pavel Kristián of Koldín. The code was then used in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia until 1811. The study builds on and complements the inventory of František Hoffmann, published in 1979. It newly describes Koldín’s Práva městská in 58 manuscript copies and six printed books with handwritten notes.

Hieronim Florian Radziwiłł (1715-1760) was one of the most powerful magnates of Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth, the owner of residencies in Biała (now Biała Podlaska) and Słuck. Historians point out on the one hand his achievements as a patron of art, founder of a ballet school and a supporter of a few theatres but on the other hand they describe him as an eccentric and cruel person for his serfs. The prince left rich written heritage (diaries, messages, letters) which is an invaluable source for study on the author’s idiolect. The aim of the paper is to show the most important features of Radziwił’s writing with the emphasis on eastern elements of the language on the basis of chosen manuscripts kept in Czartoryscy Library in Kraków.

The article presents the first statistical and quantification survey on Czech production of manuscripts during the period 1450–1550. The aim is to create a picture of the manuscript production during the studied period and to outline mutual relations between the receding manuscript production and the emerging production of printed works within the Czech environment. Material used for the analysis was collected based on registers of book collections of Bohemian and Moravian libraries and archives. The results have confirmed an expected decline in the production of manuscripts – manuscripts created after 1501 constitute only less than one fifth of the total collection. However, the decline was not distributed evenly. The number of produced manuscripts fell especially in the case of religious literature and the majority of secular disciplines. As regards the topics of medicine and law, the decline is not very perceptible. This was probably caused by the fact that Bohemian printing offices did not have sufficient possibilities to produce this type of literature. This broader perspective is counterbalanced by a more detailed probe into private book collections of certain important Bohemian scholars of that time.

Seventeenth-century Gdansk instrumental music sources

100%
PL
This article represents an attempt to provide a synthetic presentation of seventeenth-century Gdańsk instrumental music sources, comprising three groups: 1 - manuscripts and old prints, currently found in Gdańsk or elsewhere, that include works by musicians who were active in Gdańsk; 2 - manuscripts from Gdańsk libraries that include works by composers not active in Gdańsk; 3 - manuscripts of Gdańsk provenance, now held in libraries outside Gdańsk, that include works by composers not active in Gdańsk. Several types of sources have survived that are characteristic of the age in which they were created. These include lute tablatures, keyboard tablatures and manuscripts and old prints with compositions for various forces, including keyboard instruments, solo instruments (violin, cornet) with b.c., a 2 and a 3 type compositions for violin (in one case for cornet and bassoon with b.c.) and also larger ensembles, chiefly strings with b.c. The repertoire of the Gdańsk sources is similar to that of other seventeenthcentury European sources. It includes dances, canzonas, fantasias, preambles, sonatas, suites and, in the earliest manuscripts, intabulations of both religious and secular songs. In total, there are some 800 extant compositions, of which the vast majority (around 700) are found in lute and keyboard tablatures. Some compositions may be considered unique in Old Polish instrumental music. They are works by the composers Marcin Gremboszewski and Heinrich Dóbel, who were active in Gdańsk, representing early examples of solo compositions for cornet and violin with b.c., as well as a chamber piece for cornet and bassoon with b.c. Bearing in mind that the number of extant Old Polish instrumental music sources is relatively modest, these Gdańsk sources should be considered a highly valuable supplement.

In 1877 Josef Pekař first described the Hussite composite manuscript stored in Freiberg, Saxony, with the signature X 8o 40, which has now been re-dated to around 1510 due to the watermarks examined for the first time in the Leipzig handwriting center. The author of the present study analyzes the important content of the manuscript, which includes an old Czech translation of the Konstanz trial files of the Magisters Jan Hus and Hieronymus von Prag and, as the only source, the chronicle about the Hussite captain Jan Žižka, which was written between 1434 and 1470. The second and third parts of the study deal with the contextualization and transmission of the manuscript against the local background of the Reformation and finally with the description of the external characteristics of the Freiberg Hussite manuscript that has been made so far.

The following article is a linguistic analysis of the nominalization of the second person of the Holy Trinity. It shows the linguistic metamorphoses of addressing Christ by the means of description. In the Carmelites’ manuscripts there are multitude of descriptions, both singular and multicomponent, metaphorical. Therefore, to reveal their variety and multicipity at least partially, they have been divided into five categories: single-word nouns, two-word defined descriptions in three patterns: noun + pronoun, noun + noun, noun + adjective, and multicomponent metaphorical descriptions. The article shows the changeability of addressing Christ in individual texts from the 17th-century Carmelites’ manuscripts, with the emphasis on the subject-matter they deal with (from Christmas texts to Lent ones).

Focusing on transcription of handwritten texts, the study provides an addendum to Josef Vintr’s Zásady transkripce českých textů z barokní doby [The Principles of transcription of Czech Baroque texts], published in Listy filologické 121, 1998, pp. 341–346. It does not offer a normative instruction but a general methodological reflection and a summary of aids to creating principles of transcribing particular texts. After discussing basic differences between scribal and printing practices, it deals with some problematic features typical of scribal orthography. The study primarily concentrates on the problem of long and short vowels and the most frequent differences between modern and Baroque vowel length. It is argued that the principles of transcription should be formulated according to the individual grammatical usage of the individual scribe, and distinctive features of the text should be preserved as much as possible.

This paper analyses two lists of errors in the Waldesian cult, as contained in manuscripts I F 230 (from 1399, and its twin manuscript Mil II 58), as well as I F 707 (from the early 15th century). The list in manuscript I F 230 was compiled earlier, whereas the one from manuscript I F 707 is identical with the list included in manuscript No. 229 from the library in Pelplin. The comparison of the anti-heretic lists of errors from manuscripts I F 230 and I F 707, as well as the analysis of their contents, reveals similarities and leads to a conclusion that they both refer to writings by inquisitor Petrus Zwicker, while the list in I F 230 could have been even authored by him.

The article gives new information on the opera repertoire performed at the stately home at Jaromûfiice nad Rokytnou, South Moravia, and substantially extends the circle of the relevant scores. The research was based on the group of scores of works by Franti‰ek Václav Míãa, the performances of which in Jaromûfiice are known to have taken place. Similar common features are found in a number of scores of other works performed in Jaromûfiice (as testified by archive documents), and surviving in Vienna in the collections of the Austrian National Library (Österreichische Nationalbibliothek) and Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. The bindings of the opera scores, as well as the types of binding and the shape of their labels are common. The hypothesis on the common origin of these scores is also supported by the fact that they were written by the same scribes (altogether four different types of handwriting were identified). Another common feature are Míãa’s notes, found on the fly-leaves of some of these scores, as well as Count Questenberg’s handwriting on several labels and one fly-leaf. At the end of the article, there is a complete list of all known scores from the former Questenberg collection, together with all their common features.

This article deals with manuscripts from the library at the Franciscan Convent of Our Lady of Angels in Hradčany. It follows the way the manuscripts were recorded in the existing catalogues for 1675, 1728, 1850 and 1855. The 1850 catalogue preserves a list of manuscripts which indicates that at the time there were 116 manuscripts in the library. When we inspect the catalogue itself we find that the list is not complete and does not record all the manuscripts detailed in the catalogue (with at least fifteen items missing).

This article brings a codicological analysis of a manuscript belonging to the Carthusian monastery at Tržek near Litomyšl that was found by researching manuscripts relating to Bohemia and held by the Biblioteca Palatina Vaticana. Moreover, the author deals with other preserved manuscripts coming from this monastery and relating to other monasteries of the same order in Bohemia and Moravia in the Middle Ages. Attention is also paid to the destiny of Albert of Sternberg, the founder of the Carthusia.

This contribution deals with the manuscripts of the Wrocław University Library, in which works by the English reformer John Wyclif († 1384) are recorded. It shows that besides one known manuscript dating from the second half of the 15th century, Sg. IV F 7, and containing the work De universalibus, there are two copies of Wyclifˇs letter to the pope Urban VI (in the manuscripts dating from the first half of the 15th century, Sg. I F 594 and I F 707), and that in the former of the manuscripts mentioned a text dealing with the preparation for taking the Eucharist is recorded too, which otherwise survives in two Viennese manuscripts and is an item of the list of Wyclif´s works regarded as dubium. Moreover, the article mentions two Wyclifi an spuria (Sg. I F 733 and I F 570). All these copies came into being as marginalia of the reception of Wyclif´s work in Bohemia.

The Krakow missale has been supposed to originate at the end of the 15th century but its ornaments refer to the Czech book painting of the first half of the 15th century. The antiphonary of Zbigniew Oleśnicki plays an important role in this context. The local ornaments are the work of a workshop specialist undoubtedly of the Czech origin. The identic ornamental system of the Krakow missale shows that te manuscript is the work of the workshop of the Antiphonary of Zbigniew Oleśnicki. The Krakow missale can therefore be supposed to be dated as of 1420.

This article deals with a legacy report of six books to the Augustinian Canon monastery in Třeboň which was writen down in the years 1460-1468 by Martin of Třeboň, a physician. Two of the manuscripts were identified in the holding of the National Library of the Czech Republic today and moreover, further manuscripts belonging to Martin not mentioned in the legacy were found. They are also held in the National Library of the Czech Republic and by the National Library in Vienna. Another codex belonging to the same owner may be held by the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. The contents of the manuscripts indicate that Martin intended to build up his library as and expert reference library with special regard to medicine and natural sciences but it also contained manuscrips of other branches.

This article deals with the ex-Capuchin, chaplain and later parson at the Brno parish church of St James, P. Maurus Simonis (*1740-†1815) and his catalogue of the manuscript library which came into being in the Middle Ages, was permanently maintained at the church and only in 1931 did it become a part of the Brno City Archives. The manuscripts – 125 codices – serve as valuable evidence of book culture in medieval Brno. The definitive catalogue was compiled in 1805, while its first "critical" version, which does not include all manuscripts, dates from 1802. On the evidence of numerous specimens, our paper analyses the way of describing of external features – watermarks, writing, decoration and binding – as well as the content of individual codices, and it compares the work of P. Simonis with the previously unofficial conclusions of the modern catalogue which is currently at the printers.

This article deals with the manuscripts of Bonaventura´s Breviloquium held in Czech manuscript collections. The author compares data available from the list of these manuscripts in Opera omnia V (Quaracchi-Florentia 1891) with data from catalogues of individual manuscript collections to make the number of the manuscripts preserved in our libraries more accurate. He recommends the manuscripts themselves should be dealt with to obtain more precise data.
