'the forged manuscript of Liptákov'; Cimrman supposedly spent the rest of his career as a school teacher in Liptákov, a small, forgotten village in the mountains. The liptákovský podvrh (= forgery) is compared to the famous forgeries of Zelená hora and Králův Dvůr, where forged manuscripts written as if in the 10th and 12th centuries were "found" in 1817 and 1818, a discovery which helped maintain the self-esteem of the newly emerging Czech nation during the National Revival period. These manuscripts were supposed to illustrate an immense development of the Czech nation, language and society during the periods they were putatively written, the development not only comparable to and even exceeding the heritage of the Niebelung Songs, Chansons de Geste, Kalevala, or Beowulf. The forgery was revealed and admitted much later, during the 1880s [the future first president of Czechoslovakia, T. G. Masaryk, was involved in the "battle over manuscripts," commenting on the falsification from the sociological point of view]. There are some people even now who still insist on their authenticity.
