Modern Manuscripts from the Strahov Library

In 2023, the Royal Canonry of Premonstratensians at Strahov – the Strahov Library digitised 22 modern manuscripts placed under the shelf mark DA V. Without exception, these are notes from lectures given at the Archbishop’s Seminary in Prague, at the studies of individual religious orders or at the university of Prague between the 17th century and the beginning of the 19th century. The lecturers included prominent church leaders and teachers of the time, such as the Irish Franciscans (Hibernians) Anthony Farrell and Eduard Tyrrell, the Premonstratensians Gilbert Jan Michael Himmer and Benedict Johann Nepomuk Pfeiffer, the Jesuit Martin Eisman, and the Cistercians Nivard Maschka and Hieronymus Besnecker.
