Publications of the Centre

The Centre brings together and co-ordinates various projects by individual researchers and research teams and helps in preparing their publications. These consist of editions, Czech translations with commentaries and specialised monographs.

Fontes Latini Bohemorum

Directed by H. Šedinová and Z. Silagiová. There are editions of Bohemian Latin texts (bi-lingual editions of unpublished Latin manuscripts with a connection to the Czech Lands, accompanied by a Czech and foreign language critical introduction, a Czech Czech translation, and explanatory notes). These editions of Latin texts are closely linked with the work on the Dictionary of Medieval Latin in the Czech Lands (Latinitatis medii aevi Lexicon Bohemorum), which is prepared under the supervision of Z. Silagiová from the Institute of Classical Studies of the ASCR. Many of the manuscripts which the researchers came across during their work on the dictionary make up an unknown part of the national culture and are worth publishing and being presented to an international forum.
