Summary/Abstract: This article deals with Latin medieval manuscripts coming from the holding of the Franciscan monastery in Cheb which were bought together with the complete book collection of the monastery for the National Library of the Czech Republic in 2008. Originally the Minorite monastery was founded in Cheb in 1247 already but the preserved manuscripts date from the period after the monastery was reformed in 1465. The holding of the monastery in Cheb amounts to more than 160 manuscript volumes, nevertheless only 17 of them are medieval, 7 Latin, and 10 German. More than 30 convoluts of incunabula and early printed books contain at least one Latin manuscript adligat. Several independent manuscript fragments also belong to this medieval manuscript material. Th e attached list describes all Latin medieval manuscripts contained in the holding, including manuscript adligats and manuscript fragments.
