Manuscripts from the Military Historical Institute in Prague

In 2025, the Military Historical Institute in Prague digitized another 27 documents, mostly in German, dating mainly from the 19th century. More frequently represented are sources on the history of military units or accounts of their history (IIR B 2490, IIR F 539, IIR F 540, IIR F 1472) and textbooks and texts on military training (IIR B 2875, IIR B 7181, IIR F 245, IIR F 542, IIR F 850). However, the documents also cover a number of other areas. For example, a Czech manuscript entitled Článkové vojanský pro císařsko-královskou armádu from the period between 1835 and 1849 (IIR B 8530) has been made available, excerpts devoted to various types of weapons compiled by Florian Amtsbüchler (IIR C 13304), a certificate issued to pipe manufacturer M. Kiascheck (IIR F 1470), the educational poem Die Geschichte by Karl Johann Braun von Braunthal (IIR D 2568), an obituary and materials on the life of Count Jeroným Colloredo-Mansfeld (IIR F 450), and other works devoted to weapons and fortifications.

Medieval Manuscripts from Museum of the Brno Region

In 2025, the Museum of the Brno Region digitised three more medieval manuscripts from the library of the Benedictine Abbey in Rajhrad.

Medieval Antiphonary of the National Museum Library

In 2025, the National Museum Library provided online access to the summer part of the Minorite antiphonary of Czech origin (shelf number XV A 1). The manuscript is dated to the period around 1380 on the basis of its decoration, and the oficium for the feast of St Wenceslas, which is recorded in it, represents one of the basic sources for understanding its medieval form in the context of the Minorite Order.

Martyrologium from the Olomouc Research Library

A martyrology from the first half of the 14th century (shelf number M II 100) was digitised from the collections of the Olomouc Research Library in 2025. The manuscript was probably intended for a monastery of the Minorite order and, according to the obituary inscriptions in the margins of the pages, was certainly used in the Czech environment in the Middle Ages, perhaps in Olomouc, where it is evidenced in the 15th century.

Autographs of Magdalena Dobromila Rettig from the Regional Museum in Litomyšl

The Regional Museum in Litomyšl has made two autographs of Magdalena Dobromila Rettig available online from its collections. The more extensive one (R-207) contains parts of the text Mladá hospodyňka v domácnosti jak sobě počínati má, aby své i manželovy spokojenosti došla, published in Prague in 1840, and documents the author's creative writing style, including corrections and additions to the text (the autograph dates from 1833). The shorter text (R-206) is a German-language autobiography. The manuscript is incomplete or incompletely preserved, yet these notes are the most comprehensive biography of Magdalena Dobromila Rettig.

Codices from the Town Museum and Gallery Polička

In 2025, two more manuscripts were made available online from the collections of the Town Museum and Gallery Polička. Under the shelf number K 127 is a copy of the work Zdravá rada lékařská, authored by Jan Tonsoris. The text has been printed repeatedly since 1771 and this copy is probably an adaptation of one of the printed editions. Under the shelf number K 165 are the notes of Tomáš Sýkora, a tailor from Polička, which relate to the years 1666-1794, but the vast majority of them inform about the events of the 18th century.
