Modern Manuscripts from the Ethnographic Museum and Gallery in Česká Lípa

In 2022, the Ethnographic Museum and Gallery in Česká Lípa digitised six manuscripts from the period between the late 17th and the early 19th century from its collections. Two volumes contain personal records. These include an account of a trip to Rome undertaken in 1750–1751 by Count Franz Karl Rudolf von Swéerts-Sporck, his wife Anna Kateřina and son Jan Kristián (the account was compiled by their housekeeper and servant Franz Girtler and is recorded in RK 34) and a diary of the surgeon and obstetrician Ignatz Loringer from the turn of the 19th century (RK 78). Liturgical manuscripts are represented by a breviary with the feasts of Bohemian saints (RK 6) and a German book of hours (RK 29). The codex RK 30 contains a handwritten copy of Pantheon Augustinianum and RK 61 is a German collection of recipes, proverbs and various other texts.
