The study deals with the specific common iconography of the Four Great Western Church Fathers in the Czech Middle Ages in the wider ecclesiastical historical context. Development of the cult of the Four Great Western Church Fathers, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine of Hippo, St. Jerome and St. Gregory the Great, arrived after the year 1295, when Pope Boniface VIII. proclaimed them to the Doctors of the Church. The visual depictions of the Church Fathers on art monuments became a visible expression of this artificially created cult. Between medieval Bohemian Art monuments survived to nowadays 14 common depictions of the Church Fathers from the middle of the 14th century to the beginning of the 16th century. The images of the Four Great Western Church Fathers were the personification of the Holy Church, therefore they were portrayed as high Church dignitaries. Saint Ambrose usually as a bishop with the mitre, St. Augustine as a bishop with the mitre, St. Jerome as a cardinal with the cardinal’s hat and St. Gregory the Great as a pope with the tiara.

The narrative of the sojourn of St. Hilarion in Dalmatia within the Vita writ­ten by St. Jerome seems to encompass and synthetize all the principal elements of the biography of this Palestinian hermit. The search for solitude and anonymity amidst the populations of far distant lands, the impossibility of hiding – for the sake of charity – God’s operating power in miracles, the very presence of the Lord in the faithful monk living a life of prayer and penance, humbleness and love for God, the capability of showing the Lord’s presence in deeds, and the autobio­graphical references of the author of the Vita, St. Jerome, to himself through the life of Hilarion are all elements – though present in the brief section concerning the events occurred in Dalmatia – which profile the author. It is of significance his resorting to Biblical references, especially to the Gospel, highlighting the relevance of faith. St. Hilarion carries out the work of Christ and presents himself as “alter Christus”. The victory over the sea monster is the vic­tory over evil-the devil and over death. The dominion over nature’s power, namely over the power of the waters of the seismic wave, endangering the earth and its inhabitants. It is – through Christ, with Christ and in Christ, Word of the Living God – the victory of life over the primordial chaos, as well as the new creation over the wound of the original sin. St. Hilarion proposes himself as a “living gospel”, proclaiming and revealing the mystery of the Kingdom amidst humankind. For this reason his lamp, namely he himself as the shining glory of the light of Christ, can­not remain under the bowl, although he would have liked so but, on the contrary, it is God’s will that the lamp be put on its stands, so that everyone may see it, be enlightened by the truth and glorify the Heavenly Father (Mt 5:14-16). Finally, the passages selected and analyzed – though brief in content – witness of the wide classical knowledge of the Dalmatian, who does quote Latin works and authors containing references to events and people of the past. Especially in those pages whom St. Jerome devotes to “his land”, Dalmatia, he seems to grant the highest homage to his Christian hero.

Opis pobytu mnicha Hilariona w Dalmacji, przekazany przez św. Hieronima w Vita S. Hilarionis, zdaje się zawierać i streszczać wszystkie główne przesła­nia i treści, które znajdują się w tej biografii świętego mnicha palestyńskiego: poszukiwanie samotności i bycia nieznanym pośród ludów w dalekich stronach, niemożność ukrycia się w imię miłości, Boża moc działająca poprzez wielkie cuda, która świadczy o tym, że w wiernym i rozmodlonym, pokutującym mnichu, pełnym pokory względem Boga i bliźniego jest obecny Pan, objawiający swoją chwałę za jego pośrednictwem. Nie bez znaczenia jest fakt, iż Hieronim nawiązuje tu wyraźnie do znanych fragmentów Ewangelii, które podkreślają znaczenie wiary mnicha. Święty konty­nuuje dzieło Chrystusa na ziemi i jawi się jako “alter Christus”. Zwycięstwo od­niesione nad morskim potworem jest zwycięstwem nad złem, diabłem i śmiercią. Panowanie nad siłami natury, w naszym przypadku: nad żywiołem rozhuczanego morza, które grozi zniszczeniem ziemi i ludzi, staje się przez Chrystusa, z Chry­stusem i w Chrystusie zwycięstwem życia nad pierwotnym chaosem i grzechem pierworodnym. Hilarion jawi się więc jako żyjąca „Ewangelia”, która głosi i jed­nocześnie objawia tajemnicę Królestwa istniejącego już wśród ludzi. W tych krótkich fragmentach ujawnia się także wielka erudycja Hieronima oparta na znajomości kultury klasycznej. Wydaje się, że właśnie na tych stro­nicach poświęconych ojczyźnie – Dalmacji – Hieronim złożył największy hołd temu palestyńskiemu mnichowi.

The study deals with the Medieval cult of the Bishop of Poitiers and the Doctor of the Church of St. Hilary of Poitiers in the region of Bohemia and Moravia. Although this important theologian and Western Church Father achieved a significant position in the world church environment, he does not play an important role in the Bohemian lands, including the current Roman Catholic Church, which is reflected in the quite small number of scholarly works devoted to his personality. The study is therefore aimed at emphasizing the antiquity of the cult of St. Hilary in the Bohemian and Moravian environment and with the help of detailed analyses provides the first interpretation of the development and position of reverence for St. Hilary of Poitiers in Bohemian Medieval society. The study primarily answers the basic questions of when and how the cult of St. Hilary of Poitiers developed, where and why it spread or what its overall significance was. The study is based on a broadly conceived dissertation research of the historical sources, which in the case of the cult of St. Hilary include primarily the Medieval calendars, homilies, legends and artistic monuments.

A method of comparative analysis of late Merovingian hagiographic production associated with Saint Arnulf of Metz, Audoin of Rouen, Eligius of Noyon, Aunemund of Lyon, Leudegar of Autun, and Praejectus of Clermont was applied.
