The paper examines provenances in the Jílové Castle Library, which is a fragment of the Thun-Hohenstein family library (Děčín branch). Apart from the Thun ownership marks, the library contains remnants of significant book acquisitions of the 19th and 20th centuries. The research has also proved that some books from the library of the Cathedral Chapter in Hradec Králové were accidentally included into this collection after its transfer under the administration of the National Museum Library. Even some particular book owners have been identified.
