The illuminated Bible in Czech, which was copied and partly also decorated in 1431–1435 by the scribe Jan of Prague, called Aliapars, at the commission of the captain of Tábor, Filip of Padařov, still attracts the attention of researchers. The monograph by Viktor Kubík provides a comprehensive interpretation of the Padeřov Bible, which at its time was a rather unique example of a consistent illumination style in the Czech lands. The focus of the work lies in an extraordinarily beneficial analysis of the decorative elements of the ornamental style exhibited by the two Masters of this exceptional work of art. The book moved the author of the article to examine partially some of the open questions from the cultural-historic viewpoint. Apart from a few additions of a component or hypothetical nature, the treatise provides one important finding for assessing the role of the commissioner of the Bible being studied. Although Filip of Padařov came from a peasant family, he achieved lower ordination in his youth and thus access to school education. The author of the article further believes that the miniature of the fortified locality in the right margin of 286r was to represent two cylindrical towers of Castle Kotnov and the fortification of the entry barbican of the newly founded Hussite town of Tábor.
