Manuscripts from the National Museum Library in Prague

The digitisation of the collections of the National Museum Library in Prague continued in 2022 with another five manuscripts. Medieval codices are represented by a set of patristic homilies and treatises from the end of the 14th century, which used to belong to the library of the house of Augustinian canons in Roudnice nad Labem (shelf mark XIV A 2), a homiliary of the School of Auxerre from the first third of the 15th century (XVIII A 8), and a part of the Old Testament from the first half of the 15th century (XVIII A 19). A large collection of texts of Bohemian land law (II C 2) comes from the early 16th century. The hymnal that contains hymns for the Advent season and the Feast of the Nativity of the Lord and is referred to as the Rychnov Hymnal (I A 34), according to its documented place of use in the 19th century, was written around the middle of the 16th century.
