History
Melantrich, or Nakladatelství Melantrich, was a large Czech-language publishing house connected with the Czech National Social Party. Established in 1897, it was initially called the "Knihtiskárna národně sociálního dělnictva" ("Printing press of national socialist workers"). It became "Melantrich" in 1922 after the Renaissance publisher Jiří Melantrich of Aventino. The firm closed in 1999.
