The paper deals with the Czech theologian and Catholic priest Ignac Vesely (+1964) and his contribution to inter-religious relations between Christianity and Islam. The paper summarises his texts published in the periodical Journal of the Catholic Clergy (Časopis katolického duchovenstva) and describes his translation of the Koran (the first in the history of the Czech language) from Arabic to Czech. Ignac Vesely is presented as one of the predecessors of the declaration on the relation of the Church with non‑Christian religions of the Second Vatican Council, Nostra aetate.
