Michal Pěčka of Radostice (c.1575/6–1623), a Czech humanist and author of Latin poems, converted to Catholicism around 1617 and from then on published pamphlets and poems promoting Emperor Ferdinand II, mostly anonymously. The culmination of his propaganda activity was a collection of satires on representatives of the Bohemian Non-Catholic opposition, executed in 1621. He published it under assumed names, but some of his contemporaries claimed him as its real author. These assumptions were confirmed after the discovery of Pěčka’s own request for the privilege of printing the Satires in the Haus- hof- und Staatsarchiv in Vienna. A Czech translation of the document is attached to this article.
