The article is concentrated on a group of three manuscripts, connected with a person of the copist designated "glossator B": manuscript of the Library of benedictine abbey Rajhrad R 388 and two manuscripts of National Library of Czech Republik IX.C.6 and IV.D.7.

Diese Handschriften bindet eine gemeinsame Schreiberhand, die als "Glossator B" bezeichnet wurde. Die analysierte Handschriftengruppe wurde als Erzeugnis vom Skriptorium der Benediktinerabtei Břevnov in der Zeit des Abtes Meinhardus von Niederaltaich (1035/1044–1089) identifiziert. Für den "Glossator B" sind die Musikeinträge sehr typisch, seine Arbeit ist oft von Neumen begleitet.
The article deals with content and provenance interpretation of the oldest parchment manuscript fragment which is deposited in the Library of the Department of Auxiliary Historical Sciences and Archive Studies at the Faculty of Arts, MU. The piece is identified as a fragment of Lectionaria officii, which was probably written by the Order of Saint Benedict Benedictines in the first half of the 12th century, which was taken from the binding of one of the books from Bohemian or Moravian Franciscan library.
This paper is focused on the cartulary of Porta coeli nunnary in the late 17th century and provides a basic information about it using the codicologic and paleographic analysis. This analysis will help to determinate the provenance and the age of this cartulary.
Vydání kritické edice Apologie, latinského spisu husitského nonkonformisty Mikuláše z Drážďan z roku 1415, kterým reagoval na zákaz laického kalicha, jednoho z nejvýraznějších symbolů husitského hnutí. Součástí edice s textověkritickým aparátem je dílčí studie o genetických vztazích dochovaných rukopisů, analýza struktury díla a prozkoumání jeho předloh, které zasazují vydávaný text do jeho významových souvislostí. Jakožto výsledek zpřístupnění středověkého rukopisného materiálu je kniha primárně určena pro badatele zabývající se dějinami rané české reformace; díky kritickému aparátu své uživatele najde nejen mezi historiky, ale i mezi filology, lingvisty, právníky a teology. ,This book contains a critical edition of the Apologia, a Latin treatise written by a Hussite nonconformist Nicholas of Dresden in 1415, whereby the author reacted to the prohibition of the lay chalice, one of the most outstanding symbols of the Hussite movement. The edition comprises a critical apparatus, reassessment of the textual tradition of the text based on the surviving manuscript copies as well as an analysis of the structure of the text and its models. Thus the introductory study contextualizes the treatise within the contemporary literary production. The book is primarily aimed at researchers dealing with the Early Bohemian Reformation, nevertheless due to the wider context provided by the critical edition of a medieval manuscript material it will well serve the historians, philologists, lawyers and theologians as well.
There are many uncertainties about the production and dissemination of vocal polyphony manuscripts from Prague illuminators’ and scribes’ ateliers compared with the dissemination of monophonic vocal manuscripts. The only known “workshop” producing manuscripts with primarily polyphonic music is the one led by Master Jan Kantor Starý († 1582) in Prague’s New Town. However, the number of surviving manuscripts suggests that more “workshops” might have existed in Prague at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. The goal of this study is to ascertain if there were any other ateliers in Prague producing vocal polyphony manuscripts during the analysed period. The findings are based on recent palaeographic and codicological analyses of the selected group of polyphonic sources written by identical scribal hands: Kutná Hora Codex from 1593 (Czech Museum of Music, Prague), Trubka’s Gradual from 1604 (Prague City Archives, Prague), the Partbook of the St. Barbara Literary Brotherhood in Přeštice from 1619 (National Library of the Czech Republic, Prague) and a bifolio from an unknown partbook in the Gradual of the St. Castulus Church from 1580 (Library of the Archbishop’s Chateau, Kroměříž). The comparison of the analysed scribal hands indicates the existence of an atelier that was probably from the milieu of the royal court. Systematic inquiries into the professional production of polyphonic manuscripts should thus continue because that is the only way to better and fully understand the musical culture of the Czech lands during the Renaissance., Natálie Krátká., Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy, and Jan Pulkrábek [překladatel]
