Summary/Abstract: The authoress pays attention to glosses in Old Czech to be found in medieval Hebrew books. First she mentions the most important Hebrew texts of this kind and papers dealing with the subject. She also discusses some orthographic problems, mainly the transcription of OÏd Czech into the Hebrew alphabet. Finally the glosses in Hebrew books are compared with those to be found in Latin texts dating from the 12th-13th centuries.
