This study focuses on a collection of medical and other health-related literature that belonged to Princess Maria Ernestine of Eggenberg, née Schwarzenberg (1649–1719). Today, it is part of the Eggenberg book collection kept at the castle in Český Krumlov. The main aim was to reconstruct the Princess’s collection of medical books, and thereby trace the reception of medical texts of varied national and linguistic provenance by a selected representative of the Baroque nobility settled in the Czech lands. The Princess mainly collected contemporary medical literature in German, French, Italian and Latin, which predominantly came from the 17th and early 18th centuries. The books with Princess’s supralibros include not only several important 16th-century books but also the incunable of Gart der Gesundheit from 1485. The fact that her preserved medical collection in the Eggenberg library consisted of 58 catalogue units (out of a total of 68) indicates that Maria Ernestine’s interest in this area of human knowledge was highly exceptional. Furthermore, about a quarter of all surviving medical texts bear traces of an active interest in reading, thus offering a glimpse into the thought world of a particular reader and her interest in medicine and health. In the case of Maria Ernestine of Eggenberg, this was also manifested outside her own library, namely in the establishment of the castle pharmacy in Český Krumlov.

The focus of this study is on the topographic and travel literature by Italian authors that are part of the Eggenberg book collection kept in Český Krumlov State Castle and Chateau. The goal was to reconstruct the collection of books by Italian authors within the context of the complete Eggenberg book collection. Through a content analysis of these books, this study seeks to depict how Italian writers in the 16th and 17th centuries portrayed the known world and how it was perceived by a noble family settled in the Czech lands. Twenty-five bibliographic items in Italian, French, German and Latin have been identified in the Eggenberg library, primarily from the 17th century, including several books belonging to Princess Maria Ernestine of Eggenberg (1649–1719). While there are fewer preserved books from the 16th century, numerous deperdita indicate Hans Ulrich of Eggenberg’s (1568–1634) interest in the Cinquecento. As a result, the analysis of topographic and travel literature written by Italian authors during the Cinquecento and Seicento periods reveals an intriguing balance and indicates Eggenbergs’ continuous engagement with the geographical genre. Regarding content and authorship, this book collection features a variety of esteemed writers of that era. It contains depictions of different Italian cities and Italy in general, various European countries, travel reports from the Holy Land and the Orient, and historical and geographical representations from the entire known world at that time. This study builds on the extensive research conducted by leading Czech scholars on the Eggenberg book collection and the theme of travel by early modern nobility, firmly entrenched in Czech historical studies.
