Medieval Manuscripts of the Museum of the Brno Region

In 2023, the Brno Museum expanded its digital collection with three more medieval manuscripts from the library of the Benedictine Abbey in Rajhrad. Two of them (R 352 and R 354) contain parts of the Bible with accompanying texts. The majority of the content of Codex R 383 consists of works dedicated to Marian devotion – “De laudibus virginis Mariae” by Augustine of Ancona and “Laus Mariae” by Conrad of Heimburg. In addition, the manuscript includes writings from other authors of the second half of the 14th century, such as Matthew of Krakow and Henry of Langenstein, sermons, and other texts.
