In 2025, the library of the Premonstratensian Canonry in Nová Říše made four more manuscripts available online. The oldest of these is a part of the Bible dating from around the second half of the 13th century (NŘ 68). Two other codices, based on the language of the texts or annotations, originate from a German-speaking environment: a collection of sermons and legends, NŘ 16, dating from around the second quarter of the 15th century, and a legal compendium, NŘ 84, dating from around the third quarter of the 15th century. The collection of theological and meditative texts NŘ 30, dated 1475, is of Czech origin.
