Unique manuscripts have attracted thousand of visitors

Nearly 6.000 people went to see the Vysehrad Codex, a unique Romanesque manuscript, which was temporarily on display in the Mirror Chapel at Prague's Clementinum during the weekend. The illuminated latin manuscript was written in 1085 to mark the coronation of the first Czech king, Vratislav II, and it is listed as a national cultural heritage. It was last displayed to the public in 1969. Thousands of people have also visited the Prague Castle Riding School to see the Bautzen Manuscript, the oldest existing version of the Dean Cosmas' chronicle from the early 12th century. The Bautzen manuscript will be on display until Monday evening.
