“Star Atlas of Czech Kings” ( Czech Hvězdný atlas českých králů ) is a medieval astronomical collection belonging to the Czech royal court. The creation of the manuscript began during the reign of Vaclav II and was completed in 1334 [1] . The text is accompanied by drawings made by pen and made, apparently, from the older Sicilian-Arabic originals. The manuscript served as the basis for two other astronomical collections of Vaclav IV (Cod. 2378 and 2352 in Vienna) [2] .
During the Hussite Wars, part of the astrological manuscripts of the Czech monarchs and star atlas was acquired by Nikolai Kuzansky [3] . The collection is currently in the library of the hospital in Bernkastel (Cod. Cus 207).
