Abstract

Since mediaeval times, Czech people visited Egypt here and there. The first Czech man who can be connected with Egyptology was Jan (Giovanni) Kminek-Szedlo (1828-1896). Though Czech-born, he spent most of his life in Italy where he started his career in Egyptology as one of the founders of the Egyptological studies in Bologna.
