Publishing Activity of the Restored Convent of the Knights of Malta in Prague until the End of the Eighteenth Century

Original language description

Shortly after the restoration of the religious community in the first half of the 1730s, the convent began to print directories. It was the only title published regularly each year for more than forty years. The first officia propria sanctorum was also created. The golden age of convent prints overlaps with the activity of the second prior of the restored convent, František Špinka, and includes the second half of the 1740s and the 1750s. In addition to this production, there were other various types (directories, again officia propria sanctorum, librettos and most likely also a book about the pilgrimage church), and financial support for prints of the work of university students is also documented. The period of the 1760s was marked by a slowdown in publishing. In the 1770s and 1780s, the printed work of Jan Raymund, a member of the convent, dominated. In addition, two editions of the Order’s legend of Princess Ismeria were made. At the same time, however, the printing of directories stopped. The printed title pages of parish registers were a mere episode in the printing activities of the convent and its members, and, moreover, these were not typical prints. In the last decade of the 18th century, the publishing activities of the convent were apparently limited to occasional small prints.
