The Dvůr Králové and Zelená Hora manuscripts (, and Rukopis zelenohorský, RZ, and Grünberger Handschrift) are literary hoaxes purporting to be epic Slavic manuscripts written in Old Czech. They first appeared in the early 19th century. There were early suspicions about their authenticity, but they were not decisively established to be forgeries until 1886 in a series of articles in Tomáš Masaryk's magazine. The two manuscripts Dvůr Králové Manuscript Václav Hanka claimed that he discovered the Dvůr Králové Manuscript (also called the "Queen's Court Manuscript" in older literature) in 1817 in the Church of Saint John the Baptist at Dvůr Králové nad Labem in Bohemia. The original Old Czech text was published by Hanka in 1818, and a German version appeared the next year. Zelená Hora Manuscript The second manuscript, which came to be known as the Zelená Hora Manuscript (also called the "Green Mountain Manuscript" in older literature) named after Zelená Hora Castle, where it was purportedly discovered in 1817. It had been mailed anonymously in 1818 to Franz, Count Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky at the Bohemian Museum. The Count was Lord High Castellan of Prague and backer of the newly founded museum. It was later revealed that the sender was Josef Kovář who served as administrator of the manorial income to Hieronymus Karl Graf von Colloredo-Mansfeld, the owner of Zelená Hora Castle. Kovář allegedly discovered the manuscript at his master's castle in Nepomuk in 1817. It was not until 1858 that Kovář's role in publicizing this manuscript was publicly revealed by . Although Kovář had died in 1834, Tomek, through interviewing Father , was able to confirm that Kovář was the one who had originally sent the manuscript. Following Tomek's revelation, the work, which had sometimes been referred to as the Manuscript, after the poem it contained, came to be consistently called Zelená Hora Manuscript. Contents The Dvůr Králové Manuscript contained 14 poems, out of which 6 were epics, 2 were lyric epics, and 6 were love songs. Záboj and Slavoj, two invented warrior-poets, feature in the epics. The Zelená Hora Manuscript contained two poems, the "" ("The Assemblies") and "" ("Lubuše's Verdict"). A multilingual edition of the Dvůr Králové Manuscript (with other poems) appeared in 1843; this edition included John Bowring's English translation. Later, "Lubuša's Verdict" and some of the poetry from the Dvůr Králové Manuscript were translated into English by Albert Henry Wratislaw and published in 1852. Response When
