Abstract
Summary – This article presents the work of the Olomouc Bishop Robert (1201–1204) based on the findings resulting from the preparation of an edition of his exegesis on the Song of Solomon (Compilatio super Cantica canticorum) and from the modern study of the manuscripts of two of his other, hitherto unedited writings (the sermon collection Opus super epistolas and the compendium Summa confessionum). The author points out that although up to now the Cistercian prelate has received little attention in medieval research, Robert of Olomouc was one of the greatest scholars living in the Bohemian lands during the reign of the Přemyslids, and as a bold pioneer in various genres of theological literature, he plays an important role in the history of medieval Bohemian Latin literature.
