The main purpose of the title is to present the image of Saint Ludmila in written book culture of the Czech Middle Ages and Modern Era. The work is divided into author´s papers and a subsequent catalogue of originals that were displayed at the exhibition of the same name. The papers reflect the personality of Saint Ludmila in written documents from the earliest manuscripts to the printed production published up to the year 1800 and place her in the overall picture of mediaeval and modern book culture. Individual authors devote themselves to the evaluation of partial topics, which in many cases led to new discoveries and finding further connections. The second part with catalogue includes 51 entries in chronological order, out of which 14 refer to manuscripts and 37 to the printed originals. Each entry is accompanied by pictures, in which you can see the development of visual depiction of Saint Ludmila.
