Summary/Abstract: This paper summarizes, corrects and supplements knowledge of period foreignlanguage versions of the Legend of St. Prokop Sláva svatoprokopská by Fridrich Bridel (1619–1680). In particular, it presents two new findings: 1) it demonstrates that the belief, which has been passed down, in the alleged existence of a Latin version of Bridel’s Legend of St. Prokop entitled Scintilla gloriae S. Procopii is incorrect; 2) it provides information on the discovery of a previously unknown period translation of the first edition of Sláva svatoprokopská (1662) into German. A unique example of this German Legend of St. Prokop, which was published anonymously under the title Lob des heiligen Procopii in 1666 by Jesuit printers in Prague, has been preserved in the Rajhrad Benedictine Abbey library collection.
