Abstrakt

The article focuses on extant examples of a collection of miracles associated with the feast of the Visitation (Miracula beate Marie Visitacionis) which was written by the third Archbishop of Prague, John of Jenstein (died 1400). Based on a paleographic, codicological and textual analysis of four manuscripts which include the text of this work, the authors show that Miracula beate Marie Visitacionis has been preserved in two versions – Jenstein's own version (as a separate work) and a modified version (forming part of a work entitled Institucio festivitatis Visitacionis). The article presents the main differences between these two versions of the text of Miracula beate Marie Visitacionis, characterises their relationship, and describes the circumstances, in which Jenstein's miracle collection was created.
