To advance Medieval studies at the Masaryk University in Brno (Czech Republic), Prof. Martin Wihoda initiated the creation of a comprehensive collection of the MGH editions and studies series as a part of the departmental library. Mr Wihoda is professor for Medieval history at the Masaryk University and a corresponding member of the MGH central board of directors. The collection comprises ca. 75% of all MGH publications to date.
With ca. 30 000 students, the Masaryk University in Brno is the second-largest university in the Czech Republic. The university was founded in 1919 and is named after its founding father, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of the state of Czechoslovakia.
