Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the person of Martin from Tišnov, printers of Bible of Kutná Hora, and a scribe of several manuscripts. Based on the historical context and in particular with palaeographic analysis confirms an assumption of J. Vobr, that the printer Martin from Tišnov and author (and a scribe) handwritten celebratory file to the Lords of Cimburka, Latin file Herbarium carmine conscriptum and scribe works [PseudoCyrillus]: Quadripartius Apologeticus [sive Speculum sapientiae] are one person. It adds a palaeographic comparison with Bible of Lords of Kunštát, a handwriting, which was commissioned by Sophie from Kunštát and Skály, married from Cimburk. Our knowledge is not extend only at Martin from Tišnov and his authorship to another manuscript, as well as for research on this manuscript is an important information because it allows better dating its origin, thereby moving the writing of the manuscript dating from further dating of the Czech version of the biblical text, which is the text content of the manuscript.
