[Footnote 24: By whole Bibles are here intended also those
manuscripts, of which, although in their present state incomplete, it
is presumed that the missing parts were lost accidentally. The New
Testaments also are not all of them perfect. Of single biblical books,
manuscripts of the Psalms are found the most frequently. See
Dobrovsky's _Lit. Magazin für Böhmen. Reise nach Schweden, p. 57.
Geschichte der böhm. Spracke_, p. 211.]
[Footnote 25: Vict. Cornelius of Wshehrd composed in 1495 a work in
nine books, "On the Statutes, Courts of justice, and Legislature
(Landtafel) of Bohemia," which is the most celebrated among several
similar works of this period, and was in its time indispensable to the
Bohemian lawyer. It has since been published, 1841. The same learned
individual translated Cyprian, Chrysostom, etc. See Dobrovsky's
_Geschicte der böhm, Sprache_.]
[Footnote 26: See his _Historie literatury Czeske_, Prague 1825, p 49,
68. Schaffarik agrees with him. Pelzel presumed that the letter of
Huss, of 1459, was printed in some foreign country by a travelling
Bohemian.]

[Footnote 28: At Venice; see the preceding note. Dobrovsky calls it a
splendid edition, and thinks the reason why the Bohemians had it
printed at Venice was, that it could not have been executed so well in
Bohemia. _Gesch. der böhm. Sprache_, p. 343.]
