But we know that Barschius (who was Czech) tried hard to read the manuscript for may years, showed it to other people, etc. Then Marci (Czech too) held it for a while. Raphael, who taught Czech to the Emperor or his children, also looked at it.
Everybody who could read Czech surely would be able to read both versions, pre- and post- the ~1410 Hus reform. My lalamo gives this example:
- Before: Gyzt mne wsse radost ostawa / gyz me wsse vtiechi stanu.
- After: Jižť mě všě radost ostává / již mě vše útěchy stánu.
