This article brings a codicological analysis of a manuscript belonging to the Carthusian monastery at Tržek near Litomyšl that was found by researching manuscripts relating to Bohemia and held by the Biblioteca Palatina Vaticana. Moreover, the author deals with other preserved manuscripts coming from this monastery and relating to other monasteries of the same order in Bohemia and Moravia in the Middle Ages. Attention is also paid to the destiny of Albert of Sternberg, the founder of the Carthusia.

The author of this article focuses on two transcriptions of the Tovačov Book, previously unknown in the literature. The first case involves Manuscript R 4 in Strážnice Museum. The manuscript comes from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries and is worth noting because it was transcribed from a source in a text version not too remote from that in which the Lord of Tovačov presented it to the nobles. The text is of the "Olomouc type". In addition to the Book it also provides a dual non-identical translation of Matthew's freedoms (and if we examine the other texts, the codex provides sources on Moravian provincial law up to and including the 16th century). The more recent Liberec transcription, housed in the North Bohemian Museum in Liberec, is interesting for its features which are related to manuscript A 165 of the Mitrovský collection, which we can justifiably place at the front of the Olomouc variant manuscripts' affiliation order.

This article deals with the manuscript of a little known Baroque sermon called "Rurale Ivaniticum" from the Library of the Prague Crusaders. Its author is the forgotten Carmelite P. Ivanus a S. Ioanne Baptista. The main subject is the usefulness of the manuscript for the study of 18th century popular culture in Bohemia. The sermon by P. Ivanus a S. Ioanne Baptista was aimed almost exclusively at the lower class rural population. Hence the "Rurale ivaniticum" manuscript provides quite frequent examples of didactically intended folk sayings, as well as attacks on folk demonology and oneiromancy. It is from these parts of the manuscript that a merger of scholarly and folk culture clearly emerges.
