Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on a manuscript of the collection of legends called Legenda aurea coming from the monastery in Vyšší Brod. The manuscript dating from the second half of the 14th century was not finished; the record was interrupted in the middle of the legend of St. Vitus. As the contents of the codex is written at the beginning of the codex, the scribe intended evidently to copy the so-called normal corpus of the Legenda aurea, without other legends.
