Anotace
The history of the Austrian National Library in Vienna has been associated with a great many Bohemical manuscripts since their medieval beginnings. This situation arises from the close link between Austrian and Bohemian political and cultural history. Among those manuscripts is a tiny illuminated prayer book incorporated by librarian Hugo Blotius into Turcica (Cod. 11704). On the basis of the illuminations this prayer book can be newly identified as an unknown Bohemical manuscript. The decoration is dated and signed. It may be connected with the Prague Old Town guild painter Fabián Puléř (died after 15 December 1562), who has been known as the author of illuminated music manuscripts and contractually documented altar retables. The manuscript was written by Italian Johannes Cavalerius (1524–1580), chaplain and confessor of Archduke Ferdinand of Tyrol, who dedicated the illuminated prayer book to Emperor Ferdinand I. The commission of such a specific manuscript completes the existing image of the relations in the court cultural circle, Catholic representatives of the Church, and the Prague community of guild painters from around the mid-16th century.
