Marulićeva Institucija imala je snažan odjek u Češkoj te tako postoje čak dva prijevoda toga djela na češki jezik. Uz dosad poznati tiskani češki prijevod Marulićeva traktata De institutione bene vivendi per exempla sanctorum, autora Šimona Lomnickoga iz Budče (Šimon Lomnický z Budče), pod naslovom Cesta do Nebe (1621.), u praškoj Sveučilišnoj knjižnici (sign. XVII. D. 14.) čuva se još jedan, rukopisni prijevod Institucije s naslovom Historiae aneb Kniha o ustanovení a řízení pobožného života. Za razliku od tiskanoga prijevoda, koji obuhvaća samo pet poglavlja toga Marulićeva djela, rukopisni je prijevod opširan i zapisan na 478 stranica neobjavljena rukopisa. Dodatna je razlika i u tome što je rukopisni prijevod dosta nepoznat i neistražen te o njemu ne postoje zapisi u bogatoj literaturi o Instituciji. U kataložnome opisu rukopisa za potrebe praške knjižnice, koji je 1906. sastavio Josef Truhlář, navodi se kako je riječ o prijevodu nepoznata autora i podrijetla. Prema podatcima navedenima na stranicama rukopisa prijevod je izrađivan u razdoblju od 1620. do 1622. godine, i to prema predlošku antverpenskoga latinskog izdanja iz 1593. godine te nekoga nenavedenog njemačkog prijevoda. Rukopisni prijevod nastao je u Starom Etinku (Altötting) u Bavarskoj. Razlika između tih dvaju prijevoda nije samo u njihovoj cijelosti nego i u porukama koje taj prijevod nosi. Šimon Lomnický iz Budče snažno je angažiran prevoditelj, koji svoj prijevod piše u jeku Tridesetogodišnjega rata i posvećuje ga jednomu od sudionika takozvane druge praške defenestracije Vilému Slavati, dok je anonimni rukopisni prevoditelj više usmjeren na općenite kršćanske i biblijske pouke te ne korespondinira s aktualnim društvenim zbivanjima.U radu ćemo ponuditi opis dosada nepoznatoga češkog rukopisnoga prijevoda, predstaviti njegov sadržaj te ga formalno usporediti s antverpenskim latinskim izdanjem Institucije, koje je 1593. tiskao Martinus Nutius. Nadalje ćemo usporediti i analizirati poruke koje prevoditelji tih dvaju prijevoda šalju svojim čitateljima. Nadamo se time pridonijeti istraživanju dosad nedovoljno zastupljene teme prijevoda Marulićevih djela na češki jezik. In this article, we have presented the two 17th century Czech translations of the Marulić’s Institutiones. The first one is only a partial translation, made by the Czech well-known writer and poem Šimon Lomnický z Budče. His translation consists of only a few chapters from the 5th book and it was printed and published in 1621 under the title Cesta do nebe. His translation corresponds with the actual social and political events in the Czech Republic in those times, the Second Defenestration of Prague 1618, which led to the Thirty Years’ War and its first Battle of White Mountain 1620, in which Protestants and Catholics were confronted. Under these circumstances, Šimon Lomnický z Budče translates Marulić’s Institutiones and dedicates his translation to one of the people that were defenestrated, to Vilém Slavata, and picks the chapters from the Institutiones, which speak about martyrdom and patience. Šimon Lomnický z Budče is a highly engaged Catholic writer and he translates the Marulić’s Institutiones in order to give comfort and strength through the examples from the Institutiones to the Czech Catholics. The second translation called Historiae aneb Kniha o ustanovení a řízení pobožného života was made by an anonymous author at the same time as the first one from 1620 to 1622. It was not printed and published, but we suppose that the whole of Marulić’s work was translated. The saved manuscript lacks 48 pages from the original translation, which were probably lost during bookbinding. The only information about the translation were written on the 217th page of the manuscript in a special note, which reveals the time and the place of translation (Altötting in Germany) and the fact that the translation was made according to the Latin edition of Institutiones from Antwerpen made in 1593 and some unknown German translation. The translation was made probably as the sketch for the printed edition and it is interesting in the sense of the ongoing censure of the Marulić’s Institutiones. This translation consists of parts of the work which were censored in the German translation, and those parts were clearly marked by the translator. Although the translation was made at the same time as the first Czech partial translation, it does not correspond with the political events in the Czech Republic and in its foreword, only the general human and Christian messages were mentioned. Those two translations are not comparable but they testify the rich reception of Marulić’s works in the Czech Republic after the big censure of Marulić’s works in the 16th century.
