The study deals with the contribution of the members of the Family Skrbenský of Hříště from Upper Silesia to preserving the tradition of the Unity of Brethren in the Bohemian Lands during the period following the Battle of White Mountain, that is during the period when the Bohemian and Moravian Brethren congregations ceased to exist and the members of the Unity of Brethren left for a foreign exile (mostly for Hungary and Poland) or converted to Catholicism. The study observes the overall genesis of the Skrbenský Family’s affiliation to the Calvinist confession or rather to the Unity of Brethren already during the period preceding the Battle of White Mountain. During this period, the main representative of the family was Jan Elder [II] Skrbenský, the Lord at Fulnek, a prominent figure of the Moravian uprising of the estates and an important supporter of the Unity of Brethren congregation in Fulnek which was headed by John Amos Comenius. The study furthermore discusses particular manifestations of the affiliation with the Unity of Brethren in the case of the family members coming from Upper Silesia (Cieszyn, Opava) during the period from the defeat of the uprising to the beginning of the 18th century, their contacts with the exiles in Hungary, Silesia and Poland as well as their de facto unsuccessful struggle with the Jesuit re-Catholicization of the Opava region during the 1670’s.

The study attempts to reconstruct the life of Knight Jan Labounský of Labouně, his confessional ties that can be observed on his relations with the Unity of Brethren and his intellectual interests that are reflected in preserved prints and manuscripts from his book collection. As such, the study also contributes to the topic of the book culture of the early modern age and to studies of aristocratic libraries.

Based on an analysis of official, private and literary sources, the presented study deals with various forms of education of the Unity of Brethren nobility during the period preceding the Battle of White Mountain, namely from its beginning in the so called fraucimor (women’s quarters), through school education both in the Czech Lands and abroad, up to the grand tours which were the conclusion of the educational process of the nobility. Attention is paid not only to boys but also to girls. The last part of the study deals with the links between the upbringing and education of the Unity of Brethren nobility and their confessional identity. It focuses mainly on various influences that could affect the children and youth. However, at the same time, it maintains that the influence of personal and other factors on the creation of confessional identity of individuals from the noble ranks of the 16th and early 17th century is rather difficult to decipher.

The aim of the article is to show how the Hussites referred the apostolic pattern to themselves. One of the fields where such an attitude may be observed is the liturgy of the hussite radicals described by Vavřinec z Březove – which at least intended to replicate the Last Supper, and the general conviction about the necessity of communion under both kinds to salvation. Another field is the repeated and fierce discussion over the role of Judas Iscariot and the meaning of being the true apostle. The will to be the new apostles among Christians seduced by evil was so strong among the reformers, that the new generations took over the idea and confronted it with their forerunners.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie sposobu, w jaki husyci odnosili do siebie wzorzec apostolski. Jest to zauważalne na polu liturgii – husyccy radykałowie, jak podaje Wawrzyniec z Brzezowej, starali się powielać formę znaną z Ostatniej Wieczerzy. Także podzielane powszechnie wśród reformatorów przekonanie o konieczności komunii pod dwiema postaciami do zbawienia wskazuje na tę zależność. Innym polem, gdzie można ją dostrzec, są ostre i zawzięte dyskusje na temat roli Judasza Iskarioty i tego, co oznacza bycie prawdziwym apostołem. Wreszcie pragnienie stania się nowymi apostołami wśród chrześcijan zwiedzionych przez zło okazuje się tak silne wśród reformatorów, że kolejne pokolenia przejmują je i przeciwstawiają swoim poprzednikom.

Throughout its entire existence, the Unity of Brethren’s approach to education was very cautious in the period preceding the Battle of White Mountain. Education – together with upbringing – constituted a coherent complex the aim of which was to gain basic knowledge and to acquire doctrinal basics of the Unity, as well as practical skills. Until the middle of the 16th century, the Unity of Brethren’s approach to education was ambivalent – since its beginnings, the Unity did not refuse basic education (reading and writing), but its relationship to higher education was reserved. Yet in the end, the higher education started to be valued as well, partly owing to external circumstances. Lay members of the Unity of Brethren were being educated in schools established by congregations of the Brethren, while upbringing and education of future priests of the Unity took place directly in the houses of the Brethren. In both cases, the Brethren used textbooks and other aids coming from domestic printing offices, as well as those of foreign origin. Youth priests of the Unity were also sent to study at foreign educational institutions, from which they brought many books upon their return. These books could later become a basis for their personal book collection, as is evidenced by the book inventory of priest Bohuslav Jafet († 1615) who had studied at Calvinist universities and academies.
