English Translation

It is therefore necessary in a number of cases to be able to compare and see the books themselves in Prague, I therefore requested from the authority of the Imperial Protector, on whose behalf I had to carry out the move, instructions on how to behave in these cases. I was instructed to transfer in principle all manuscripts, incunabula, copper engravings, etc., as well as valuable works, which may be missing in the Präger University Library, to Prague, to carry out an overall revision and examination of the inventory here, in order to be able to meet your wishes if possible in contentious cases. It was found that Bextändexix's works of the library, which were not catalogued for any reason, were subject to the same principles as the library's catalogued collections.
