Leskovec-Dresden Bible or Dresden Bible (Bible leskovecko-drážďanská or Bible drážďanská) was the oldest known manuscript with the complete Bible translation from Latin into Czech language, and the oldest complete Bible in any Slavic language.
The bible was written approximately within the period of 1365–1375. It was destroyed by fire in Leuven (where it had been sent to be photocopied) in 1914. One third of the text survived in black and white photographs and copies.
