AB The study represents the closure of two-volume article about a vast library of a Czech catholic priest Frantisek Matejovic Vetesnik (1784-1850), dean of Sobotka located in the northwest Bohemia and one of the members of the Czech revivalist priests of the first half of the 19th century. While the author introduced Vetesnik's life in the first part of the study and he tried to reconstruct his library in Vetesnik's times, the second of the two parts represents a probe into Vetesnik's library regarding its content. Through the only existing catalogue and two surviving inventories, we can uncover the inner structure of the library, briefly characterize all 25 thematic parts and we introduce especially rare (old prints from the 16th and the 17th century) or in its time very popular works, which Vetesnik gathered during his life.By this, the picture of a library of one of the Czech priests - revivalist of the first half of the 19th century is finished.
