This paper focuses on the collection of Czech sacred songs written probably by Tobiáš Vokoun during the exile after the Battle of White Mountain and first published in 1627. The first part outlines the historical and cultural context of this early modern print. Main characteristics concerning the content and the form of the songs are given. In 1929, the collection of sacred songs was published as a bibliophily. Accordingly, the second part concentrates on how the modern edition was prepared for publication. Czech writer and translator František Táborský (1858–1940) was in charge of the content, Jaroslav Preiss (1870–1946), General Director of the Živnostenská banka, provided the early modern print, which he owned in his private library, and financed the edition. The bibliophily of 1929 is one example of numerous activities how the banker supported Czech book culture.
