Abstract
The present paper aims to linquistically assess Czech bibles published between 1488 an 1715. However, the bibles within this period are not examined so much from a theological, translational or linguistic standpoint as from that of book culture.
Trough research into printing type, decoration, illustrations and also to some extent publishers´and individual bindings, we shall attempt by means of comparisons with foreign bibles to answer the question whether publishing initiatives of this type contributed to the cultivation of the community of readers and the book printing craft.
