Humanistická bohemika v rukopisných sbírkách v Drážďanech a Lipsku
Humanist Bohemica in Manuscript Collections in Dresden and Leipzig

Summary/Abstract: The article describes Humanist Bohemica in two significant collections of manuscripts – in the Universitatsbibliothek in Leipzig and the Sachsische Landesbibliothek, Staats- und Universitatsbibliothek in Dresden. The two manuscript collections contain similar types of Bohemica. One can clearly distinguish two groups of manuscript material: translations of legal and historical writings from Czech into German, made for practical use, and manuscripts related to exiles from the Czech lands after the Battle of White Mountain, their lives in exile and literary activities. Concerning individual items outside these groups, it is worth mentioning the medical treatise by Laurentius Span of Spanov, previously unknown copies of poems by Bohuslaus of Lobkowicz and Hassenstein, and especially the poems by Ioannes Dubravius on the pictures in the collection of the bishop of Wrocław Stanislaw Thurzo.
