Prvotisky olomoucké kapituly

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Olomoucká kapitula byla ve středověku významným církevním, ale také kulturním centrem. Jedním ze způsobů, jak tyto její role zkoumat může být právě analýza knihovny, pokud se vyznačuje kontinuálním trváním, jako je tomu v případě knihovny olomoucké kapituly. Zpracování její prvotiskové části přináší další střípek k poznání dějin olomoucké kapituly, a především dlouhodobě formované instituční knihovny, která doposud stála na okraji zájmu badatelů. Právě moderní katalog zpřístupňující svým podrobným popisem jednotlivých exemplářů část knihovny je nezbytnou podmínkou pro další bádání. Úvodní statě zařazují prvotisky do širšího dějinného rámce a zároveň shrnují poznatky týkající se nejvýznamnějších aspektů, jako jsou geneze knihovní sbírky, knižní vazby, malířská výzdoba nebo obsahová stránka děl. Prvotisky olomoucké kapituly jsou nezbytnou pomůckou a příručkou pro studium pozdně středověké intelektuální, kulturní a církevní historie českých zemí.

Incunables of the Olomouc Chapter

Popis výsledku anglicky

The collection of incunables is a part of the Collection of incunables, paleotypes and old prints of the Olomouc Chapter Library, which belongs to the Metropolitan Chapter of St Wenceslas in Olomouc and is stored in the Olomouc branch of the Opava Regional Archive. It contains 271 volumes with 327 bibliographic titles, which were printed from the beginnings of book printing until 31 December 1500. It also includes thirty-four paleotypes dated shortly after that date and four manuscripts, which are an integral part of the volumes. The collection is not among the most important ones in Moravia in size, but it is a very valuable due to its linkage to a specific church institution, such as the Olomouc Chapter. While the larger collections of the incunables were formed mainly by confiscations of church property, pickups and later purchases, the chapter incunables are part of a continuously created library of a long-lasting and functioning institution. As in other cases, the Olomouc Chapter was an important ecclesiastical and cultural centre in the Middle Ages. The chapter mainly ensured the administration of the diocese and the course of the cathedral liturgy, but the fact that scholars and educated canons concentrated there meant that the influence on local cultural development was not negligible and reflected in the library. Its composition corresponds to all the roles of the chapter and the personal interests of individual canons. At a time of spreading humanism, the Olomouc Chapter was one of the most important cultural centres in Central Europe, although of course it could never reach the dimensions of university centres. Based on the ownership records, which can be found in almost one third of the volumes, it can be seen that the Olomouc canons had the largest credit in the growth of the library in terms of incunables and afterwards. Other owners of the original prints were the citizens of Olomouc and various monasteries and churches in Olomouc. Unidentified people from near and far also appear. The exact reason for placing these books in the chapter library can be speculated, but it could probably have been gifts from people close to the chapter or a mere circulation of books by the trade. It can be shown, however, by the examination of ex libris, that these copies became part of the library in the seventeenth century at the latest. So far, no clear organizing tool has been created. The only information could be found in the provisional inventory created in the 1940s. The collection of incunables has not become a subject of research interest to a greater extent, only small studies on selected aspects have been published. The valuable corpus of the chapter library needed to be given a modern catalogue with introductions that draw attention to the most important parts of the collection. At the same time, however, the overview of the collection of the incunables remains a torso without inclusion in the library whole, which also contains manuscripts and old prints that together formed the institutional library. The collection of incunables of the Olomouc Chapter Library can be described as a church library par excellence. The vast majority of the collection consists of theological literature, followed by literature on canon law; both these sections are supplemented by examples of literature of the Antiquity as well as philosophical, historical, political, medical, and other literatures. At the same time, it is clear that those who created the library between the fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries, were interested mainly in the works of modern authors of the fifteenth century, who were not and could not be so widely represented in the existing manuscript collection of the library. In terms of preserving original or contemporary late Gothic bindings, the collection of incunables of the Chapter Library in Olomouc is one of the most remarkable collections in the Czech Republic. The older layers of re-bindings make up only a negligible part in the total number, while thirteen bindings can be classified as Renaissance (sixteenth century) and only two as Baroque. The full 93 percent of books therefore bear late Gothic elements. Identification of specific bookbinding workshops shows that 117 are of Czech provenance, including eighty-four cases where Moravian location of the workshop can be assumed. We can even specify this information, as seventy-seven incunables were bound directly in Olomouc. Based on the painting decoration, the corpus can be divided into several groups according to the place of origin of these illuminations. The most numerous group is represented by incunables illuminated in Germany, especially in Saxony and Bavaria. A relatively large number of incunables were decorated in Bohemia and Moravia and among these the largest number of books can be attributed to the Olomouc illuminators. The Olomouc book painting of the third quarter of the fifteenth century was influenced by the prominent artistic personality of Master Friedrich’s breviary. Among the remarkable illuminated originals is BCO.32 from the library of the Olomouc humanist and canon Augustin Käsenbrot, part of its decoration is the figure of a shield bearer.
