The Municipal Library in Bautzen houses a lot of Czech manuscripts which are dealt with by special literature, but the illuminations of which are known very scarcely. The decoration of the collection of work by Jan Hus (Ms. fol. 51) can be narrowed to the middle of the 15th century; the present date of 1412 is based on an entry in fol. 137v and is untenable because it is the text, not the decoration which came into existence in this year. The depictions - the figural and the heraldic ones - were added to the manuscripts supplementally; it is probably a picture of Jan Hus mounting the pulpit and a coat of arms of a member of the Hroznata family, maybe of the Kladruby abbot Busek of Vrtba or of the front warrior of the Catholic Side, Burian of Gutstejn. The collection of theological-juridical texts (Ms. fol. 56) contains moreover yearly records; only one text item (Reci besedni) can be attributed to Tomas Stitny of Stitne. The decoration of the codex is limited only to one fi gural illumination and one ornamental initial. Its style is quite advanced; it can most likely be dated to the 1470s.

On the basis of the formal and iconographical analysis, after evaluation of the existing literature and taking in consideration hypothetical cultural historical circumstances of the creation of the manuscript, the author of the paper suggests to consider the manuscript a Bolognese school product - from the style group dating to the turning of 1320s and 1330s (in connection with Master from 1328 and his circle and with ties to painters active before Vitale da Bologna, as a point of departure for further development in Val Padana and in Veneto) and supposes that the cardinal Bertrand du Pojet might be a receiver of the manuscript. Dating is shift ed between 1331-1333 on the basis of the research results and on connections with the historical activities of the Luxembourg dynasty members in Italy in that time.

The Decretum Gratiani is the first and the longest text of the Corpus Iuris Canonici, the body of Catholic Church Law. The Bratislava Gratian belongs to a small group of early illuminated copies where the initial H that opens the text is formed by the bodies of Pope and Emperor standing side-by-side and extending hands, and, together with the Arras Gratian, probably represents a native Bolognese example of a very early stage of introductory iconography to the Decretum Gratiani (12th century).
