W. L. Schaeiber - In 1489 Martin von Tissnowa printed a Bible in the
Czech language with 112 pictures illustrating the Old Testament
+ copied from the Nuremberg ed. of 1483. In the New
Testament there are only 8 pictures, in the Apocalypse, +
at the end a very good woodcut representing Two mineas
holding the city armor of Kuttenberg. Martin also printed
an ed. of Aesop in Czech.
- No manuscript in the Czech vernacular translation is known to
predate the 14th C but at least 50 complete of fragmentary
Bibles have survived from the 15th C.
-The names of P. Liechtenstein is found in colophons from
the inception of his press in 1498 until 1567 though it may
be doubted whether he himself survived so long. Like
Lucantonio de Giunta, he enjoyed an extensive trade in
liturgical works intended for foreign markets, in his
case chiefly Central European, but his considerable +
regular production would also included a variety of learned
works, amy of them in scientific fields.
-John Huss, Wyelif's Bohemian admirer + counterpart, who was
martyred in 1415, not only revised + corrected the Bohemian Bible
but through his work on it rearranged the alphabet + remodelled
the spelling of the Bohemian language.
