This article presents a brief summary of research results on handwritten newspapers preserved in book and archive fonds in Vienna and Dresden. The research focused on handwritten newspapers from Prague, with the emphasis in particular on the period between 1583 and 1612, when Prague was Rudolf II's city of residence. At that time it was one of the most important European cenres of news reporting, conveying reports from the entire known world at that time.

The essay concentrates on the question to what extent William of Rosenberg and Peter Vok were informed about confessional frictions in the Kingdom of Poland. It introduces one of the most remarkable written newspapers, which were sent to them. The report concerns unrests in Krakow in May 1591. The unknown reporter described transformation of a festive service in the main parish church into a campaign against evangelic chapels. Although the chapels were initially defended, they were destroyed within several days. The mentioned newspaper, which has survived in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň, is characterized by certain confusion alongside the dramatic recount. This is because the writer drew information from an extinct source, which he hastily tried to shorten. Such a report thus demanded comparison with other contemporary materials, much like understanding aspects in which the described assault followed previous unrests, which features were new and why the author contacted noblemen who lived abroad.
