Osudy rukopisu Svatovítské apokalypsy (a Pražských zlomků hlaholských)
The Fate of the Manuscript of the St Vitus Apocalypse (and the Prague Glagolitic Fragments)

Summary/Abstract: The study deals with the manuscript of the St Vitus Apocalypse (Prague,Prague Castle Archive, Metropolitan Chapter Library shelf mark A 60/3) from the second half of the 11th century, whose back pastedown contains the so-called Prague Glagolitic Fragments (ibid., shelf mark N 57). After 1233, the manuscript was supplemented by a quire with the legends of St Cordula and the Five Holy Brothers, which indicates that the manuscript then must have been placed at the Olomouc cathedral, where both cults are very strong. In this time both Glagolitic Fragments were pasted at the new created book binding. However, it is possible that it had already been intended for the Olomouc cathedral or the Hradisko monastery near Olomouc originally by its commissioner, Vratislaus II.
