Capital letters in the Old Czech Chapter Psalter
 Voleková, Kateřina
The article deals with the influence of the notation of capital letters on the text of the Old Czech Psalters from the 14th century. The capital letters have a different function in the Psalters than in other contemporary manuscripts, where they usually serve for syntactic division of the text, while in the Psalters they mark the beginnings of verses and are written into the text additionally in a different colour of ink. In most Old Czech Psalters, the scribes supplemented the capital letters according to the prescribed letters. However, this does not apply to the so-called Chapter Psalter from the 1380s, whose scribe in some cases relied on his own judgment and added a different capital letter to the text than was prescribed. This could lead not only to a change in one word, but also to the overall meaning of the given Psalm verse, the scribe thus contributed significantly to the final version of the Old Czech Psalms.
