This website was created as part of the project “Medieval Libraries of the Canons Regular of St Augustine in Bohemia in the Context of Central Europe,” funded by the Czech Science Foundation and carried out at the Faculty of Humanities, Charles University. The project investigates preserved books from the medieval libraries of the Canons Regular of St Augustine. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these libraries and their role in the dissemination of knowledge across Central Europe. Please note that this website is currently under development and is not yet complete. We are working diligently to finalize it, and new information will be added gradually. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We would be delighted if this database could be expanded in the future to include not only the libraries of the Canons Regular of St Augustine, but also those belonging to other orders. If you are interested in collaborating, please contact us. For any questions or comments, please use the following email address: adela.ebersonova@fhs.cuni.cz.
