}.webp', extensionName: 'dorotheum')})
Kronyka Czeská Cum gratia et Priuilegio Regie Maiestatis. Prague: Jan Severin Jr. – Ondřej Kubeš of Žípy, 1541
Scope: 2°; [XII]-CCCCLXXIIII-[XLIII]
Literature: Zíbrt II. 1851; Bibliography No. 2867
Condition: the book's binding was repaired in the past, the book was partially restored and equipped with a leather ribbed binding. The binding is slightly frayed. There are 4 sheets of previous owners' notes before the title sheet. A title sheet is incomplete, missing parts are restored. Partially restored was the preface and some other sheets. A total of 7 sheets are missing from the Chronicle (XI, CCLXXXXI, CCLXXXXII, CCCCLXIIII, CCCCLXV, CCCCLXVI, CCCCLXVII).
The priest, Václav Hájek of Libočany (died 1553), finished his Chronicle manuscript already in 1539. In his Chronicle Hájek describes Czech history from ancient beginnings until 1527. The popularity of the Chronicle at the time prior to the Battle at White Mountain is evidenced by its early translation into German, which was for the Prague edition by Mikuláš Pštros made by Jan Sandel, the municipal scribe from Kadaň in 1596 (its reeditions were prepared in Nuremberg in 1697 and in Leipzig in 1718).
