Here you will find a detailed overview of the books preserved from the medieval libraries of the Canons Regular of St Augustine, an order that played a key role in the book culture of the Czech lands during the Middle Ages. The database allows you to explore the collections of all houses of the order in Bohemia, together with selected libraries in Central Europe, including Vienna (Austria), Neunkirchen am Brand (Germany), and Żagań (Poland). For each library, a catalogue of its medieval holdings has been prepared, covering both manuscripts and incunabula. These catalogues provide information on provenance, dating, writing material, number of folios, dimensions, illumination, binding, detailed descriptions of the texts, and, where available, links to digital reproductions.
