COSMAS

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COSMAS , of Prague (10451125), dean of the
cathedral
  and the earliest Bohemian historian. His Chronicae Bohemorum libri iii., which contains the history and traditions of Bohemia up to nearly the time of his death, has earned him the
title
  of the
Herodotus
  of his country. This
work
 , which his continuators brought down to the year 1283, is of the highest value to historians in spite of the fact that its reputation for disingenuousness and credibility has been greatly affected by the
critical
  attacks of J. Loserth (Studien zu Cosmas von Prag, Vienna, 188o, &c.).
The
work
  was first published at Hanover in 1602, from the imperfect Strassburg codex. A perfected edition was brought out at the same place in 16o7; this was reprinted, with notes by Q. G.
Schwarz
  in I. B. Menckenius, Scriptores rer. Germ. (3 vols., Lips.,17281730). It is included in Peizel and
Dobrowsky
 , Script. rer. Bohem. i. pp. 1-282, after collation with Dresden MS., edited very fully by R. Kopke in Mon. Germ. Hist. Scrip. ix. 1-132, and repeated in
Migne
 , Patrol. lat. elxvi. pp. 55-388, and in Fontes rer. Bohem. ii. (1874), 1-37o (Latin and Czech), by W. Wl. Tomek. See A. Potthast, Bibliotheca Hist. Med. Aevi.
