Ludvík Kuba studied the Slavic peoples to learn about their music, musical instruments and customs. He tried to capture a comprehensive picture of the Slavic peoples with regard to the idea of Czech national revival, folk musical instruments (including their carved ornaments) also deserved attention in Cuba, he also noticed the occupation of the local inhabitants, whether it was a musician, a gravedigger, a shepherd or a passer-by . His notes also contain knowledge about religion, about wearing clothes in general, customs, songs and customs. In general, we can say that Ludvík Kuba, taking into account the above, was truly a Renaissance personality, which he sublimated in his book Reading about Bosnia and Herzegovina.
