Three early printed books and one manuscript from the collections of the Regional Museum in Louny have been digitised. The earliest document is a binder’s volume of two German printed books on alchemy from around 1535, one of which was printed in Augsburg and the other in Frankfurt am Main. Another German-language book is a manual on fabric dyeing from 1724. The last printed book is written in Italian; it deals with the events of 1685 associated with the war between the Habsburg monarchy and the Ottoman Empire. The manuscript collection of texts concerning medicine comes from the turn of the 19th century; it contains mainly recipes, but also descriptions of diseases.
