Summary/Abstract: In this study I focus on the reconstruction of the state of the book culture in medieval Louny. This is a closely related question to the origin of the historiography there. Inicially, I outline the preconditions for reception of the book culture and pursue the milieus where books could be used. I also pay attention to the ancestors of the historiography in this town, which are an important precursor to their fully developed forms. Finally, I deal with the oldest annals that originated in Louny.
