This database was created thanks to internal projects of the Faculty of Arts, Palacký University, namely IGA_FF_2022_038 “Bohemistika – od tradice k digitalizaci (od minulosti k současnosti)” and IGA_FF_2023_040 “Průsečíky teoreticko-metodologických přístupů v současné bohemistice.” The technical completion of the database was supported by an internal grant IGA_FF_2025_042 “Čeština a její světy: Interdisciplinární přístupy ke zkoumání textu v 21. století”. The digitization of texts in these projects was carried out by Jana Hauschwitzová, Jana Jančíková, Hana Káčmarová, and Kateřina Sommerová under the supervision of Miroslav Vepřek.

The database contains digitized versions of the sources according to their manuscript versions. The respective texts are available in PDF files written using the Unicode font Bukyvede; in the case of Glagolitic text (Prague Glagolitic Fragments), transliteration into Cyrillic is used. Information about the sources (editions or manuscript versions) is provided for each item below. For further research (stylometric, automatic computer analysis, etc.), we also have “clean” texts in .txt format available, which we can provide upon request.

We publish some written monuments in their full text, while for others we only provide excerpts (due to copyright reasons). Again, upon request and with the permission of the copyright holders, we are able to provide the full texts on an individual basis.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to the academic staff of the Department of Paleoslavic Studies and Byzantine Studies of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Czech Academy of Sciences, namely PhDr. František Čajka, Ph.D., for providing the electronic text of St. Gregory the Great’s Homilies on the Gospels and his own edition of Legends of St. Anastasia in electronic form.

Prof. PhDr. Radek Čech, Ph.D., also contributed to the digitization conception and other research.
