The paper aims to present recent results of the ongoing research of Bohemian old prints from the collections of the Tschammer Library belonging to the Evangelical Church. The original goal of the research was to complete the bibliographic data on foreign-language bohemian old prints and make them available to the national Bibliography of Bohemian Prints in Foreign Languages 1501-1800. The research was later extended to encompass the excerption of bohemian prints written in Czech to complete the register of all Bohemian old prints of the Tschammer Library. The author focuses on ownership book provenances of the 16th century Bohemian prints inscribed in the books by their previous owners and readers. Although primary research is still in process, the data presented in this article suffice to suggest a very lively cultural exchange that was taking place in the Bohemian-Silesian, and thus also to Cieszyn Evangelical community of that time.
