Sheet-Music Manuscripts from the National Library

Another 22 manuscripts, mostly from the beginning of the 19th century, have been digitised from the collections of the Music Department of the National Library. All of these documents form part of the set of the Mozart Memorial, which was established in the National Library in 1837 as the very first Mozarteum in the world. It contains a representative selection of Mozart’s work, especially historically important copies and the first printed editions.

The Bible from the Museum of the Bohemian Paradise from 1513

The Museum of the Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj) in Turnov has digitised the Bible printed by Jacques Sacon in Lyon in 1513 (Inv. No. HST 3089). Its text with indices, prologues and other accompanying texts is decorated with numerous woodcuts and initials, which are mostly coloured. An unknown user has also added in hand a list of periscopes and an alphabetical index of the incipits of the Psalms.
