Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to draw attention to two facts: 1) some copies of Fridrich Bridel’s Vita Sancti Ivani (1656) contain an inset broadsheet depicting the legend on St. Ivan, 2) this broadside was published in 1795 separately, in a text-expanded Czech-German-Latin form. The broadside on St. Ivan from 1795 is (so far) one of the few pieces of evidence of the publication of rather typographically ambitious broadsheets in the Czech lands in the 18th century in vernacular languages and encourages the study of this type of early modern single-sheet publications containing picture stories.
