The study places its focus on the Hussite invective from 1416 against the Kutná Hora preacher Hermann, which has so far been reflected only on the basis of an incomplete edition from the 19th century. After presenting the whole agitation letter, the author examines the credibility of Master Hermann’s preaching work in Kutná Hora and searches for his identity. He focuses on the personality of the Prague doctor of theology and the auxiliary bishop Hermann of Mindelheim and comes to the conclusion that the Kutná Hora preacher Hermann was most likely this Bavarian native. The study thus sheds new light on the transformation of Kutná Hora into an early anti-Hussite centre.

This study presents for the first time in detail two manuscripts dealing with the beginnings of the Unitas Fratrum which are in the holdings of the Benedictine Library in Seitenstetten in Austria. Manuscript 72, dating from the beginning of the nineties of the 15th century, contains Latin translations of five letters written by the Czech Brethren to Jan Rokycana from 1489, which have been unknown till now and excerpts from five introductory chapters of the Síť víry (The Net of Faith) by Petr Chelčický, also translated into Latin in 1477. Manuscript 302 contains a copy of the record of an interrogation of four prominent Brethren in Kłodzko in 1480. This article indicates the possibilities of studying these texts, focusing on three main points: on their possible contribution to text tradition research, on research of the circumstances of the origin of their translations, and on the person of the scribe who made the collection. From the possible persons the inquisitor Jindřich Institoris has been excluded as his autograph doesn´t correspond with the writing of the scribe being looked for.

The first part of the study presents comprehensively the late medieval manuscript K 16 of the Metropolitan Chapter Library in Prague. By the analysis of its structure, contents, and chronology of the texts the author determines the genesis of the manuscript in three layers well distinguished. The second part of the work verifies the identity of its primary user and focuses on the hussite conservative master and lawyer Jan of Jesenice. He studies the connections of fhis biography and work with the manuscript and he finds a very tight, although indirect relation in all aspects researched. In general, the study is a contribution to opening further ways of studying a late medieval manuscript miscellany.
