This article deals with a legacy report of six books to the Augustinian Canon monastery in Třeboň which was writen down in the years 1460-1468 by Martin of Třeboň, a physician. Two of the manuscripts were identified in the holding of the National Library of the Czech Republic today and moreover, further manuscripts belonging to Martin not mentioned in the legacy were found. They are also held in the National Library of the Czech Republic and by the National Library in Vienna. Another codex belonging to the same owner may be held by the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. The contents of the manuscripts indicate that Martin intended to build up his library as and expert reference library with special regard to medicine and natural sciences but it also contained manuscrips of other branches.
This article is the first to publish a versified pamphlet with the incipit De sancto Stephano Symon celebro male sano (Walther, Initia, no. 4155). The author sees in its 166 verses two pamphlets: the first targets a Constance priest from St Stephen's, Simon Lind, and was evidently composed in Constance some June after 1300, while the second targeting an unknown Simon, was composed some 18th October. The author believes that this double-pamphlet was included in Summa recreatorum by its unknown author, who was perhaps working to the order of Albrecht of Šternberk, as part of the struggle between himself and Petr Jelito for the favour of Charles IV and the associated ecclesiastical posts. The Summa was not drawn up for the death of Charles, soon after which followed that of Albrecht of Šternberk. Hence its ongoing composition must be put down to the 1370s.

This paper attempts to reconstruct the now lost aide-memoire notes of Hradec Králové chroniclers, who at the end of the 16th and in the first half of the 17th century used the second dedition of Veleslavín's Historical Calendar (1590) for their notes, recording events of a local nature in particular. In contrast to others which were used by their owners for personal purposes, the Hradec copy of Veleslavín's Calendar came into being in 1590 at the order of the Hradec political representatives and was housed at the Hradec town hall until the 19th century. Today we only learn indirectly of its existence from the testimony of Jan Soukup (1867-1933) and an analysis of the preserved Hradec Králové history by Karel Joseph Biener of Bienenberk (1731-1798) and František de Paula Švenda (1741-1822).
