Exul. Perno. Printing and Provenance Bohemica from the Library of the Church of Virgin Mary in Pirna
Vaculínová, Marta
The development in the Czech lands after the White Mountain Battle brought great confusion not only to the lives of a large part of the non-Catholic citizens, but also to their libraries. Book collections built up over the years became objects of confiscation, sale, theft and plunder. Intellectuals were only able to take a small part with them into exile. One of the foreign libraries in which volumes from the property of Czech exiles have been preserved is the library of the Church of Our Lady in Pirna, Saxony. A large part of the local bohemica was purchased by the National Library in the last century, but another part (mainly books of Czech provenance) remains in the historical repository next to the church cure. We have tried to map the provenance of bohemica from both the Prague and Pirna parts and to capture traces of book collections of exiles and other important personalities. The paper includes inventories of the prints and provenances of both parts.

The views of Daniel Adam of Veleslavín on Czechs and foreigners
Černá, Alena M.
The paper is devoted to the views of Daniel Adam of Veleslavín (1546–1599) on the Czechs and foreigners with whom the Czech lands are in contact or who they know from the available literature. These are mainly Germans, Italians and Poles, but attention is also paid to peoples who pose a real or potential threat to the Czech lands (Turks and Russians). Veleslavín judges that the old Czechs possessed good qualities (bravery, faith in God, reliability, respect for order and laws), but that they lost these qualities through contact with foreign nations. They concentrate more on secular pleasures and slacken their concern for the nation and the homeland. The material base for the paper was the Czech written prefaces to the works that Veleslavín prepared for publication in 1578–1599.
