That monastery was founded in the 14th century.

After Methodius's death Slavic liturgy lived on at the Sazava 
Monastery (not in Prague).  The Sazava Monastery was founded in the 
11th century but there was continuity between the monastery and 
Methodius's disciples expelled after his death.  It was closed and 
Slavic liturgy was banned in Bohemia in the same century.

The foundation of the Emmaus Monastery (Na slovanech) in Prague in 
the 14th century was tied to a revival of C&M's cult.
