[Footnote 51: Palacky's Bohemian works, besides the various
productions of his youth, and many valuable articles in the Journal of
the Museum both in German and Bohemian, are the following: _Aelteste
Documente der Boehmischen Sprache_, Prague 1840. _Literaerische Reise
nach Italien in 1837_, with Schaffarik, Prague 1838. _Geschichte von
Boehmen_, Th. I. Prague 1836; in Bohemian, _Dejing narodu Czeskeho_, I.
Prague 1848.]
[Footnote 52: For more complete information in respect to Bohemian
literature, a knowledge of one of the Slavic idioms or of the German
language is absolutely required; we know of nothing written on this
subject in the English language, except the article of Bowring already
cited. This gives an able survey of the poetical part of the
literature, but does not profess to cover the whole ground.--The
grammatical and lexical part of the Bohemian literature is uncommonly
rich, and exhibits no small mass of talent. We confine ourselves to
citing the titles of those written in German or Latin. No helps in
English or French for learning the Bohemian language, so far as we
know, ever existed.--GRAMMARS. _Kurze, Unterweisung beyder Sprachen,
teutsch und boemisch_, Pilsen 1531, and several later editions.
Klatowsky _Boemisch-deutche Gespraeche_, Prague 1540, and several later
editions. B. Optat _Anleitung zur boehm. Orthogr._ etc, 1533, Prague
1588 and 1643. Beneshowsky _Gram. Bohem._ Prague 1577. Benedict a
Nudhozer _Gram. Bohem._ Prague 1603. Drachowsky _Gramm. Bohem._ Olmuetz

linguae Bohem._ 1670-80; new edition 1783. Jandit _Gramm. ling. Bohem._

Pressburg 1746. Pohl _Boehmische Sprachkunst_, Vienna 1756, five editions

_Gesch._
