Muzejní zlomek s opisem Evangelia sv. Matouše s homiliemi

The article presents a new found Old Czech manuscript fragment of the Gospel of Matthew with Sermons (Evangelium sv. Matouše s homiliemi) from the third quarter of the 14th century (Prague, National Museum Library, shelf mark 1 D a 2/18b). The translation of the Gospel of Matthew, accompanied by sermons, had been previously known from a single manuscript (Prague, National Library, shelf mark XVII A 4, the 1370s) and from the paraphrases of the Gospel of Matthew without sermons in the Old Czech biblical manuscripts (Bible drážďanská, Bible litoměřicko-třeboňská, Bible olomoucká). This paper compares the text of the fragment with those biblical sources. The strip from the parchment folio contains only short passages from Matthew 8 and 9, which are divided into pericopes similarly to the Evangelium sv. Matouše s homiliemi, however, no sermons are included. Therefore this fragment poses new questions about the origin and history of the Gospel of Matthew with Sermons.
