[36] This palace is traditionally identified with the house known as 'U Montagu,' between the Malostranské Námesti and the Nerudova Ulice. A tablet stating that the defenestration had been planned here was placed on this house, but almost immediately removed. [37] Dr Krebs, _Die Schlacht am Weissen Berge_. [38] _See_ Chapter VIII. [39] _See_ Chapter VIII. [40] 'Clamore mulierum horrendo rex perterritus arcem repetebat.'--Andreas ab Habernfeld Bellum Bohemicum. [41] I have translated a small portion of this account in my _History of Bohemian Literature_, pp. 342-344. The account above is also abridged from Skála. [42] Not 100, as stated in Murray's Guide Book. [43] 'Ecclesiam Sancti Viti quam Sanctus Wenceslaus construxerat ad similitudinem Romanae ecclesiae rotundam.'--_Cosmas Pragensis._ [44] The old chronicler Cosmas always calls it 'Sanctorum Martyrum Viti, Wenceslai atque Adalberti ecclesia.' [45] This legend forms the subject of a very fine poem by the gifted Bohemian poet, Svatopluk Cech. It has been admirably translated into German by the late Professor Albrecht. [46] Dr. Podlaha and Mr. Sittler have in the present year (1901) published a beautifully illustrated notice of the Loretto Treasury. [47] Rudolph was a great collector of Albrecht Dürer's pictures; this perhaps accounts for this picture being--undoubtedly wrongly--attributed to Dürer. [48] _See_ my _History of Bohemian Literature_, p. 93. [49] _See_ Professor Léger's _L'Evangile de Rheims_. [50] There are two churches of St. Nicholas at Prague; the one mentioned above, and another in the Malá Strana. [51] As a writer on Prague must almost assume ignorance of the national language on the part of his readers, I may mention that an excellent German translation of this poem by Mrs. Malybrok-Stieler has recently been published by Mr. Rivnác at Prague. [52] In his _Hundert Tage in Oesterreich_. I quote from the English translation, published by Messrs. Chapman & Hall in 1844. [53] _See_ my _Bohemia: A Historical Sketch_. [54] In his _Die Schlacht am Weissen Berge_. [55] In German 'Bestien.' [56] Some remains of the ancient structure appear to have existed in comparatively recent times. In his _Phosphorus Septicornus_ Pesina (1629-1680) writes of the 'castellum Hradec uno atque medio infra Pragam milieri' that 'castelli hujus rudera hodique spectantur in quorum medio templum ... adhuc integrum.' * * * * * Typographical errors corrected by the etext transcriber: Vaclavské Namesti=> Vaclavské Námesti {pg xviii} Mala Strana (small quarter)=> Malá Strana (small quarter) {pg 4} Ovocna ulice=> Ovocná ulice {pg 7} Staromestske Námesti=> Staromestské Námesti {pg 24} Celetná ulice=> Celetna ulice {pg 24} the Wyclefites=> the Wycleffites {pg 48} Celetna Ulice=> Celetná Ulice {pg 95} to re-establish Protestanism=> to re-establish Protestantism {pg 128}
