Antonín Boček

Antonín Boček , also Anton Boczek (born May 20, 1802 in Bystřice nad Pernštejnem , † January 11, 1847 in Brno ) was a Moravian archivist , historian and manuscript forger .

Boček published the first volumes of the Codex diplomaticus et epistolaris Moraviae .

As early as 1861, Alois Vojtěch Šembera described some of his documents as allegations and forgeries. Likewise 1875: forgery and mutilation (mutilation) of several documents in the “Codex diplom. Moraviae ”. He forged several documents from the 13th century to support his theory that the Doubravník monastery was destroyed by the Golden Horde in 1241. In 1909, in connection with the publication of his work on the history of the town of Bystřice, Jan Tenora described the documents found by Boček as very suspicious. Furthermore Boček invented for Vojtěch of Medlov the predicates and Štěpán of Medlov of Bystřice and of Zubří , in order to create a proof of the existence of both places in the first half of the 13th century.

He was the uncle of Alois Boczek , who worked as a finance officer, journalist and member of the Frankfurt National Assembly .
