Abstract
In his editorial work for the planned series Hymnorum Thesaurus Bohemicus, Antonín Škarka also focused on the hymnographic legacy of the Brethren bishop Jan Augusta, especially the hitherto neglected liturgical Register of Songs. The author of the paper will try to summarize Škarka's view of Jan Augusta as it can be observed in synthetic and editorial texts, and in this context will also ask more general questions about the main tendencies of contemporary interpretation of the history of Czech hymnographical production.
It will also make use of a previously unpublished inventory of Škarka's estate, stored at the Institute of Musicology of the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, made by Jan Bata.
