Manuscripts from the National Library of the Czech Republic

Another group of digitised medieval manuscripts of the National Library of the Czech Republic comprises ten volumes. These are codices created over a wide time span. The oldest of them are a binder’s volume of various originally separate books of the Bible with glosses (shelf mark III.E.3) and a homily on the Gospels by Saint Gregory the Great, Pope (VI.C.25). The other manuscripts come from the 14th and 15th centuries; apart from theological and preaching texts, they also contain miscellaneous educational works. Czech authors are represented by the works recorded in the codex VI.C.11: these include an exposition of the Book of Psalms by Mikuláš of Rakovník and a treatise by Štěpán of Páleč, De aequivocatione nominis ecclesia. German-language texts are contained in the manuscripts VI.C.27 (instructions for growing fruit trees) and IV.E.26 (the contents of individual Psalms).
