Abstracts

This contribution, on the basis of data from a recently discovered primary source on the history of the Unity of the Brethren, i.e. the name index of its members from the Towns of Prague and suburbs from 1607, and their confrontation with other contemporary documents, reveals the allegiance of Wenceslaus Hollar’s father to this confession. However, some members of the Hollar Family, which had Czech Brethren roots, suceeded in behaving rather pragmatically in a new contemporary confessional environment and in adapting to the changes of confessional conditions by which they went beyond the usual notions of the Brethren confession and stood in contrast to the fortunes of the majority of other Prague members of the congregation of the Unity of the Brethren.
