English

From the collections of the Town Museum and Gallery Polička, two important works related to the history of Czech book printing and Bible translation were made accessible in 2016: the second edition of the one-volume Bible of Kralice from 1613 and the first part of the Old Testament of the St Wenceslas Bible from 1715. The first of them is also interesting for its earlier fortunes – it belonged i.a. to the monastery at Karmel in Mladá Boleslav.
