Abstracts

EN

The article deals with the iconography of St. Augustine of Hippo in medieval Bohemian art up to the Hussite Wars. The text represents the first attempt of explaining the beginnings of the cult of St. Augustine in the 12th-century Bohemian Lands and also focuses on the oldest depictions of St. Augustine in illuminated Bohemian manuscripts and wall paintings until the year 1420. The paper provides some iconographic details while examining the most relevant examples of the Bohemian depictions and also informs about the earliest examples and gradual dominance of the new iconographic type of St. Augustine as a bishop which replaced the older types of St. Augustine portrayed as an author or a monk.
