The article summarises new findings and complements earlier studies concerning the history of the library of the Franciscan monastery of Our Lady of the Snows in the New Town of Prague. Its first part deals with the maker of rococo bookcases from 1764, the second part summarises previously unused information on the library rules created by the Franciscan provincial Bernard Sannig in 1685, and the third part reports on the rediscovered copy of a Czech printed book from the 16th century, which was, together with other books, donated to the Franciscans of Prague by Jan Sferýn of Sferýn, a New Town burgher, and which was stolen from the library at Our Lady of the Snows in the first half of the 19th century.
