Art
  • Gothic Painting in Bohemia, Matéjcek, Antonin and Jaroslav Pesina
  • Czechoslovakia: Romanesque and Gothic Illuminated Manuscripts, Kvet, Jan (Preface by Swarzenski, Hanns), UNESCO and New York Graphic Society, 1959
    a more accessible introduction
  • Literature
  • Die Literatur des Mittelalters in Bohmen, Winfried Baumann, Munchen/Wien,Oldenbourg, 1978
    I think this has the stuff translated.
  • Anthology of Czech Literature, Walter Schamschula, Frankfurt/New York, P.Lang, 1990
    Certainly does, and into English.
  • Music
    General Information
    There are some CDs out now by Czech groups doing medieval and renaissance music of Bohemia (usually called something like 'Medieval and Renaissance music of Bohemia'), and there was a good deal of interaction between German culture (such as minnesanger) and the Bohemian court. Ulrich von Etzenbach (author of "Alexander" and "Duke Ernst") was supposed to have been there ca. 1290.
