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.
The Tovačov lawbook is one of the most important sources of the Moravian provincial law in the 15th and 16th century. It has never been printed but it was spread only by numerous manuscripts.

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).

The relation between manuscript and printed books, their interaction and competition cannot be limited to the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century. Manuscripts accompanied human activity far into the modern period - not only in official matters but also in the area falling under codicology. The progressing research into the Kroměříž Chateau library, specifically its beginnings associated with the bishop of Olomouc Karl von Liechtenstein-Castelcorno (1624-1695), provides the opportunity to identify and assess the manuscripts that the bishop gathered during his life. His fondness for books has long been known and appreciated, but this seems to have applied only to printed publications, not to manuscripts. At least for the time being, there are no known records of major acquisitions of medieval codices or the establishment of a Kunstkammer (‘wonder room’) containing rare books. This would not have corresponded to his practical nature and focus on solving topical problems of his time (recatholicisation, the restoration of the residential network of bishoprics, the stabilisation and development of economic administration)., Miroslav Myšák., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Count von Manderscheid-Blankenheim´s library at Blankenheim Castle was closed after Napoleon´s army invaded the Rhineland in 1794. The last owner of the castle, Augusta and Filip Krisitan von Sterrnberg-Manderscheid took some of the books to Prague where they became parts of the Sternberg Library, which itself was incorporated into Prince Lobkowicz´s library, with which it was transferred in 1928 to the Czech National Library collection. This study provides information on the discovery of the uniquely preserved catalogue of the Blankenheim Castle library, compiled sometime between 1789 and 1794. It has been used to successfully identify a total of 29 manuscripts in the National Library collection. The study concludes with an edition of the Blankenheim manuscript catalogue and brief descriptions of the discovered codices.
