This year’s (2023) digitized books from the Slavonic Library come from the 17th to 19th centuries from regions in present-day Dalmatia (Croatia) and Russia. The oldest book is a printed poetic transcription of the King David’s Psalter from 1678 with 3 prefaces by Symeon of Polotsk, a scholar and clergyman (shelf mark T 8086). From the end of the 18th century comes a manuscript collection of poems and translations of old Croatian authors from the Milan Rešetar collection (shelf mark T 4121). The 19th century is represented with (1) a manuscript description of a monastery in the former town of Voskresensk (current Istra) in the Moscow Region (shelf mark T 4328); and (2) a copy of the life of Peter I by Petr Krekshin from the Alexander Grigorev collection of North Russian manuscripts (shelf mark A 14).

In 2023, the Olomouc Research Library digitised a manuscript containing a part of a German translation of the statutes of the Tertiary Sisters of St Francis in Brno (shelf mark M II 166). The manuscript was written in 1519 and was dedicated to Mother Marta, who was already a member of the Brno convent from 1500 and thus was probably, after the Mother Superior, one of the nuns who had the right to decide on the internal issues of the convent.

In 2023, the Military Historical Institute in Prague digitised another 22 manuscripts, dating from the first half of the 19th century and, with a few exceptions, written in German. In terms of content, these comprise military theory manuals, overviews Austrian army units, including the histories of some of them, texts on war events and the figures of military leaders, as well as geographical works, musical texts (shelf marks IIR D 796, IIR F 1622) and documents of personal nature, such as Ludwig von Benedek’s 1843 testimonial from 1843 (shelf mark IIR F 1621).

The Czech Pharmaceutical Museum in Kuks (a centre of Charles University in Prague – the Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové) digitised two manuscripts in 2023. The older of them is a copy of the 17th-century work Miracula chimici seu chrisosophiae by Johann Baptist Großschedel von Aicha (shelf mark HK-SR-5). The second manuscript is the register of the General Pharmaceutical Council in Prague (shelf mark sign. HGL, inv. č. 5, kn. 2), which contains records mostly from the years 1823–1826, complemented until the end of the 19th century; these primarily include a list of pharmacies and their owners or operators, as well as a list of the pharmacists who graduated from Charles-Ferdinand University.
