The National Library in Prague acquired in 2016 incunable of Opus super sapientiam Salomonis by Robert Holkot to which eighteen manuscript pages are added. They contain two astronomical tables and a short explanatory text. One of the tables is the Table of astrological houses for the seventh clima. The other one – the Equation of time – is ascribed to Wenzeslaus Faber of Budweis and it is really identical with the table published in his Opusculum tabularum utile verarum Solis et Lunae coniunctionum (1494). Both tables are analyzed here and discussed in their historical contexts.
