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 portion of the manuscripts of Jan Kryštof Bořek (1665–1729/1730), a collector and mercantilist economist, from its collections (shelfmarks DB I 1–7 and DC I 1–6). This is the third redaction of the collection of his documents, which was created from the end of the 1710s (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.
