The Library and Manuscripts of Kunhuta, Royal Daughter and Abbess of St. George’s

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the chapter the author focuses on the Library and manuscripts of Kunhuta, the royal daughter and abbess of the monastery of St. George. In making use of a small, temporary scriptorium with new scribes who produced a greater number of manuscripts, of which the Passional is only the most famous, she built on a long tradition of book culture cultivated by her predecessors. To this setting, those around her, especially the Dominican Kolda of Koldice and the Canon Beneš, would have brought their own experiences. Some of these manuscripts were created for her own purposes, others for the convent at her command. Connecting her manuscripts and identifying them as a coherent group are commonalities of script, the work of the principal scribe, and Beneš, the focus on the cult of the Virgin and devotion to the Passion, and the memoria of the Přemyslid dynasty. Some of the codices are easily recognizable on account of dedicatory inscriptions. Moreover, Kunhuta tried to standardize liturgical use at the convent and the forms of many offices (especially that of St. Ludmila). Following Kunhuta’s death, her personal books became part of St. George’s library. Her bibliographical legacy – both the books she commissioned for herself and those she had made for her convent – shed light on the spiritual and devotional life of this noble-born Bohemian woman and reflect the book culture of the contemporary Bohemian kingdom.
