Manuscripts of Jan Krystof Bořek from the Strahov Library

In 2024, the Royal Canonry of the Premonstratensians at Strahov – the Strahov Library enabled the digitisation of the first group of the manuscripts of the collector and mercantilist economist Jan Kryštof Bořek (shelf marks DB I 1–7 and DC I 1–6) from its collections. This is the third redaction of the collection of his documents, which was created from the end of the 1710s (the prefaces to some volumes are dated 1718 and 1719) until the end of the 1720s. The individual volumes contain various reports concerning both the past of the Czech lands and Bořek’s present – they often comprise copies of official documents related to his official and economic activities.
