The contribution is dedicated to the problems of the folk religious literature of Bohemia at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. The research focuses on a small sample of popular printed titles as well as several manuscripts of prayer books. In the opening part, the authoress maps the present condition of tally of folk religious manuscripts. Based on existing published catalogues, it can be stated that large collections of such a kind can be found in the regional museums and libraries. The second part of the contribution deals with interrelationship between printed books and manuscripts. A direct relation of a manuscript to the printed model seems to be less frequent than it can be deduced on the base of plentiful use of the titles of printed prayer books. The texts were usually selected either from one printed model, or from a number of resources. Taken all in all, not the printed prayer books were published without modifications for decades. The wording of texts of some authors were more stable (Martin of Kochem), while others were more conveniently adapted to requirements of potential readers (Karl Eckhart von Eckhartshausen, Gott ist die reinste Liebe).

The paper quantitatively analyses a sample of 300 Czech prayer books and other popular religious handwritten material (not including songbooks) from the 18th and 19th centuries. The author maintains that most of the material consisted of (partial) transcriptions of popular printed books and their widespread popularity was influenced by the growth of literacy and the individualization of piety. Their use was by no means limited to the milieu of the secret non-Catholics which were proscribed until 1781; indeed the majority of Catholic writings were not fully orthodox. The character and decoration of the writings in question were not directly related to the confessional nature of their originators and/or users; in fact the general rules of early modern popular culture played a much more important role and in many cases it is difficult to determine whether the source is catholic, protestant or sectarian. Prayer books fully reflected official forms of religion relatively late i.e. from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries as a result of church domination over popular piety. However, even at this time the process did not result in absolutes: religious writings substituted the non-existence of baroque literature the printing of which was prohibited by the enlightened censorship prevalent at the time. Only a change in religious forms and new opportunities for the printing of pre-enlightenment books in the mid-19th century led to a decline in handwritten prayer books.

The article focuses on Czech handwritten prayer books of protestant provenance from the 18th and 19th century. It analyzes the form and sources of inspiration, especially the Biblical quotes, paraphrases and references. A special attention is paid to illustrations of manuscripts in relation to strict protestant requirements on visuality. According to the analysis of selected sample of prayer books, the paper represents their typical structure and typology of contained prayers. The topics of prayer books belong to wider social context, whether general – mentality and devotion of population being of non-Catholic confession; or specific – in search of “Czech national fine arts” at the Czechoslavic Ethnographic Exhibition held in 1895.
