The first director of the University Library and its beginnings in 1777-1780 (L. Kubátová)  ... p. 117-125

Based on still unexploited archival documents the author presents František Josef Kinský of Vchynice and Tetov (6.12.1739-9.6.1805) as a proposer of unifying university libraries (i.e. the New-Carolinum and Clementinum Libraries) with the libraries of the cancelled Jesuit Order and with the Majorate Kinský Library as well as the first director of these united libraries. He was appointed by Maria Theresia at the same time when the new institutions were established, i.e. in January 25, 1777. Although he worked in the Library only for more then one year (he was dismissed by his own request to be able to fulfill his military duties) he provided for the Library sufficient premises for book storage for a long time, started their adaptation and obtained financial means with a long perspective ahead. The author documents also Kinský effort to organize higher technical education at the Prague University and presents his proposal to establish a lower military academy in Prague. Only a passing mention deals with his engagement as the director of the Military Academy in Vienna.
