- From November 2002 to February 2003, I worked on the conservation of this inclinable (Prague, Municipal Library, H 417), printed in Prague in 1488 by Jan Kamp in the so-called Prague Severin's printing workshop. This book is the first non-illustrated printed bible in Czech or Slavonic. This exemplar has blue and red initials and rubrication in yellow pigment. There are 72 known copies, 19 in Prague. I am grateful to Jiří Vnouček, former Head of Conservation of the National Library for supervising this conservation work
