Leskovec-Dresden Bible or Dresden Bible (Bible leskovecko-drÃ¡à ¾ÃÂanská or Bible drÃ¡à ¾ÃÂanská) was the oldest known manuscript with the complete Bible translation from Latin into Czech language, and the oldest complete Bible in any of the Slavic languages.
The bible was written approximately within the period of 1365âÂÂ1375 (though this date might not be correct since Holy Roman Emperor stationed in Prague during this time, Charles IV, forbade translating Scripture).
In 1914 it was destroyed by fire in Leuven (Louvain), Belgium, where it had been sent to be photocopied during the sack of Leuven by German forces. One third of the text survived in black and white photographs and copies.
