| | Czech Baroque Literature |
 | | Czech remained by far the majority language, however, and much valuable Czech literature was printed, including fine sermons and lyrical poetry, inspired by the revived spiritual and stylistic values of 17th-century Roman Catholicism. |
 | | Other patriotic historians were Tomáš Pešina z Čechorodu, Dean of St. Vitus, who specialised in Moravian history (Prodromus Moravographiae, to jest předchůdce Moravopisu, 1663, and, in Latin, Mars Moravicus, 1677), and later the Moravian priest Jan Jiří Středovský, who wrote on the Slavonic mission of Constantine and Methodius in Sacra Moraviae historia (1710). |
 | | The most lively cultivated Czech prose is to be found in abundant Catholic sermons and related devotional literature. |
