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.
The Tovačov lawbook is one of the most important sources of the Moravian provincial law in the 15th and 16th century. It has never been printed but it was spread only by numerous manuscripts.

This article deals with manuscripts from the library at the Franciscan Convent of Our Lady of Angels in Hradčany. It follows the way the manuscripts were recorded in the existing catalogues for 1675, 1728, 1850 and 1855. The 1850 catalogue preserves a list of manuscripts which indicates that at the time there were 116 manuscripts in the library. When we inspect the catalogue itself we find that the list is not complete and does not record all the manuscripts detailed in the catalogue (with at least fifteen items missing).

The manuscript collection of the Royal Canonry of Premonstratensians Library in Strahov, Prague, currently houses over three thousand manuscripts (plus almost 700 manuscript fragments). A catalogue by Bohumil Ryba helps us to find our bearings in the collection for shelf marks DF–DU. Shelf marks DA–DE have not to date been made available for printing. This study provides an inventory of early modern manuscripts compiled between 1526 and 1620 with shelf mark DA–DE.
