Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the manuscript library of the former house of the Canons Regular of StAugustine in Rokycany (Rokitzan). The text presents extant sources: apart from the manuscripts themselves, some of which contain donation records, there are testaments of Přibyslav, son of Jan, of Ujezdec and Adam of Nežetice. The article further analyses them and describes the history of this library including the reconstruction of the system of shelf marks. The core of the study is a description of the surviving part of the library, from which fifty-one manuscripts have been identified. It summarises the physical characteristics of the codices, their dating, provenance, and language classification. Most attention is given to a detailed thematic categorization of the library’s contents.
