After a historic introduction the author deals with the manuscript of the Museum of Western Bohemia in Pilsen (5 MA 11). The manuscript entitled „Inventarium Bibliothecae Archidiaconatus Plsnensis“ came into being at the Pilsen archdean Jan Václav Emerich´s instance. Emerich wrote the book in part (ff . 51r, 54v) himself and in part (ff . 52r–54v) got an unknown scribe (X) to do so. Should an edition of the book be prepared, the complete text by the scribe (X) on ff . 52r–54v will be decisive. This scribe wrote – maybe by mistake.

This article deals with the ex-Capuchin, chaplain and later parson at the Brno parish church of St James, P. Maurus Simonis (*1740-†1815) and his catalogue of the manuscript library which came into being in the Middle Ages, was permanently maintained at the church and only in 1931 did it become a part of the Brno City Archives. The manuscripts – 125 codices – serve as valuable evidence of book culture in medieval Brno. The definitive catalogue was compiled in 1805, while its first "critical" version, which does not include all manuscripts, dates from 1802. On the evidence of numerous specimens, our paper analyses the way of describing of external features – watermarks, writing, decoration and binding – as well as the content of individual codices, and it compares the work of P. Simonis with the previously unofficial conclusions of the modern catalogue which is currently at the printers.

This article deals with manuscripts from the library at the Franciscan Convent of Our Lady of Angels in Hradčany. It follows the way the manuscripts were recorded in the existing catalogues for 1675, 1728, 1850 and 1855. The 1850 catalogue preserves a list of manuscripts which indicates that at the time there were 116 manuscripts in the library. When we inspect the catalogue itself we find that the list is not complete and does not record all the manuscripts detailed in the catalogue (with at least fifteen items missing).

This study focuses on the manuscripts of the library of the Piarist College in Mikulov which is kept at the Moravian Provincial Library in Brno as a closed holding. The inventory is based on an old manuscript inventory compiled by Vladislav Dokoupil (1918–1992) which, however, has been adapted, completed, and extended substantially by a historical commentary. In the commentary the author tries to determine the origin of the manuscript collection by analysing preserved manuscripts and other archival material of Piarist provenance.
