His vast collection of "Bohemica and Moravica" included nowadays unretrievable items such as the first "Biblia Bohemica" (Prague 1488), a complete set of the famous "Kralice Bible" in six volumes (Kralice 1579-1601), several incunables and many prints from the 16th century. The author, J. J.Heinrich Czikann, became famous for his work "Österreichische National-Enzyklopädie". Unused, untrimmed, and mostly uncut copy. From the library of Anton Ritter von Beck (1812–1895) of Plevna/Cilli (Slovenia).
