The author looks into the problem of Hussitism, and asks the question if it is a forerunner of the Reformation or its first stage. He draws attention to the fact that it is an issue which is difficult to settle unequivocally. He gives examples of a clear reception of Hussite ideas in the Reformation movement but also shows cases of differences in their acknowledgement.

The theoretical base of Hus’ ethical thinking can be found in his Commentary on the Sentences. The paper is focused on moral virtues which rank among the important topics in Hus’ ethics. His texts on virtues are not particularly innovative. A number of Jan Hus’ thoughts of close to Aquinas, although in terms of the origin of virtues Hus is much closer to Augustinian thinking than to Aquinas’ Aristotelianism. His approach to virtues is similar to that of Bonaventure in this point.

The symbolic image of “light in attire” (světlo v obleči), found in Jan Hus’ medieval collection of Czech homiletic commentaries on scriptural passages known as Postil, is examined in the present study against the general background of Alexander Stich’s penetrating analysis of the symbolism of light and attire in Jaroslav Seifert’s Světlem oděna (“Attired in Light”, a collection of poems published in 1940). Compared with Seifert’s multi-faceted poetic image of the city of Prague “attired in light”, Jan Hus’ use of světlo v obleči does not seem, at first sight, to be much more than a translation of a metaphor used by Saint Gregory the Great. At closer look, however, Hus’ choice of obleč – arguably a rather uncommon and semantically somewhat vague word at the time – appears to be a well-considered creative act generating a variety of connotations of the concepts of “light” and “attire”. It is argued that by employing an uncommon word – yet a word easily identifiable with common Czech expressions derived from the same root – Jan Hus was able to masterly parallel the symbolic use of the Latin word testa – “(earthen) container (protecting the light inside)” – in the sense of “the human outside covering/protecting the godly inside” with the Czech word obleč – “a (cloth or leather) cover/attire (protecting the light inside)” – to express the same metaphor.

In his speech at Vatican II the cardinal Beran pronounced a warning against the shortage of religious freedom which had caused – as history warns us – a di- vision of the Czech society and spiritual injury lasting to this day. The article presents a view on the question of tolerance in versions of three important Czech authors of the 15 th and the 17 th century, i.e. from the times explicitly mentioned in the speech as illustrative examples of intolerance. These authors are John Hus, J.A. Comenius and Petr Chelčický. The first of them stressed on the ethical level and thus refused to tolerate a morally bad action of the holders of secular and ecclesial authorities, even including the use of violence. The second one focused rather on the questions of improvement of the world and of a possible coopera- tion, so rather he searched, out of the frame of reconciliation of Christian denomi- nations, for reasons for a more positive attitude towards both other Christians and the Jews and Muslims. The last named author, because of his inclination to the radical biblicism, tended to an apocalyptical look at the time contemporary to him, and thus called not only for tolerance towards people non-respecting the di- vine law who may be beneficial to orthodox-believing Christians, but especially refused violence as incompatible with both Gospel’s demands and the tradition of the early Church. Thanks to his systematical open opposition to use of capital punishment he has become the first Czech theorist of abolitionism. The conclu- sion of the article brings an attempt to summing up these authors’ thoughts in a broader historical and societal context.
