Pronuntiatio means the dictation of a complete work to several scribes for its dissemination amongst interested specialists, often university students. At Prague University a professor could dictate his interpretations of any book from the Faculty of Liberal Arts or have them dictated from his text by a qualified pronunciator. It is uncertain if the pronunciatio record in the manuscript can be considered to be a secure proof of authorship of the recorded work. A summary of previously ascertained reports leads to the conclusion that apart from the record of the treatise of M. Jan Rokycana De quinque prioribus sacramentis, no other designated pronuntiatio involved an author dictating his own work. It is evident that records of such pronunciatios are for the most part definitely not proof that an author has dictated his own work and that without further examination of the creation and content of a work they are not enough to establish authorship.
This article brings a codicological analysis of a manuscript belonging to the Carthusian monastery at Tržek near Litomyšl that was found by researching manuscripts relating to Bohemia and held by the Biblioteca Palatina Vaticana. Moreover, the author deals with other preserved manuscripts coming from this monastery and relating to other monasteries of the same order in Bohemia and Moravia in the Middle Ages. Attention is also paid to the destiny of Albert of Sternberg, the founder of the Carthusia.

This article examines the evolution of the term tabula from antiquity onward and the use of it in middle ages and early modern age literature. It analyses in detail the term tabulae ecclesiae finding its triple meaning in the Central European environment: 1) tabulae written on parchment (later on paper) and fixed on a board in the church – these contained information and instructions for laymen, those in the sacristy or in the choir contained normative constitutions or doctrinal auctoritates for clerics, 2) tabulae on the church walls near the high-altar contained lists of persons to be remembered in liturgy permanently; their external form were frescos framing their names like funeral tablets, 3) the same term tabulae ecclesiae is used also in the sense of financial cash resulting from a church collection. In all cases the ideological connection of medieval church boards to antique legistic texts (1.), to fasti (2.) or to the external form of a real board only (3.) is examined.
