Matouš Konečný (1569-1622) was a priest and bishop of the Unity of Brethren, administrator of the Mladá Boleslav diocesan diocese and a writer. As part of his episcopal duties, he oversaw the priesthood of the Mladá Boleslav diocese and, as bishop-scribe, was in charge of all the literary production of the Unity. In August 2006, two chests-full of correspondence belonging to Matous Konecny were discovered during the reconstruction of the former premises of the Unity at in Mlada Boleslav. Inside the chests were letters, registers, drafts and other documents hidden just under the floor in the backfilling of the vault, undiscovered since the summer or autumn of 1620. Rare. Czech National Library only in OCLC, a copy which apparently lacks three leaves. No others found in national COPACs. Item #34429
