Gindely's chief work is his Geschichte des dreissigjahrigen Kriegas (Prague, 1869-188o), which has been translated into English (New York, 1884); and his historical work is mainly concerned with the period of the Thirty Years' War . Perhaps the most important of his numerous other works are: Geschichte der bohmischen Bruder (Prague, 18S7–1858); Rudolf II. and seine Zeit (1862-1868), and a criticism of Wallenstein, Waldstein wahrend seines ersten Generalats (1886) . He wrote a history of Bethlen Gabor in Hungarian, and edited the Monumenta historiae Bohemica . Gindely's posthumous work, Geschichte der Gegenreformation in Bohmen, was edited by T . Tupetz (1894) .
