Abstract
This paper summarizes, corrects and supplements knowledge of period foreign-language versions of the legend of St. Prokop Sláva svatoprokopská by Fridrich Bridel.
In particular, it presents two new findings: 1) it demonstrates that the belief, which has been passed down, in the alleged existence of the Latin version of Bridel's legend of St. Prokop entitled Scintilla gloriae S.
Procopii is incorrect; 2) it provides information on the discovery of a previously unknown period translation of the 1st edition of Sláva svatoprokopská (1662) into German which was published entitled Lob des heilogen Procopii in the year 1666.
