The paper attempts to present the role of Jan Hus and of the Hussite movement in the Czechoslovak Church (CSC), known as the Czechoslovak Hussite Church (CSHC) as of 1971. It notes that after the creation of CSC in 1920 a rather romantic reminiscence of Jan Hus prevailed in the church nourished by Masaryk’s ideal of humanity, which gave rise to a broad symbolic, liturgical, artistic and partly ideological formation. It describes the disintegration of identity in the CSC in the totalitarian crises of the Czechoslovak state in the period of Nazism and Communism, and how CSC helped overcome these crises by symbols and ideas of the Hussite tradition, and how the idea of the extension of the name of CSC through the term "Hussite" was born at the end of the 1960s. It was adopted by the Church during the sixth Assembly of CSC in 1971. This decision had a remarkable effect on the quality and professionalism of the study of Hus’ works and other texts coming from the Hussite tradition.

The article presents the preliminary results of research on references to Jan Hus in 27 Protestant handbooks of doctrine from the 16th and 17th centuries. The image of the Prague reformer provided by these writings without special historiographical interest is remarkably vivid. Although many of the motifs repeat often and sound like clichés at first glance, a closer look demonstrates that they have been painstakingly adjusted into continuing new connections. Illustrative material has been collected portraying Hus as a judicial victim. The subsequent exposition demonstrates that Hus often came into play as an active player. He partially appears as a theological authority, but above all as an epochal appearance fitting into the Evangelical theology of history and serving the self-understanding of Reformed churches.

The texts of Jan Hus have been edited since the time of the incunabula. The article briefly describes the period of old prints and editions of Hus’ texts in the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. The series Magistri Iohannis Hus Opera omnia (MIHOO) is consequently analysed in a more detailed way: its origin, the first generation of editors and their work, and the present state of the series, now published by the Belgian publishing house Brepols publishers. Special attention is paid to the changes suggested by the Commission for the Edition of the Writings of Jan Hus. Appendix 1 contains an updated overview of the MIHOO series published by Anežka Vidmanová in 1999. Appendix 2 provides a concordance of the individual volumes of the series and the list of Hus’ treatises published by F. M. Bartoš and P. Spunar in 1965.

The article „Pre-Reformation theology of Jan Hus” presents, in its first part, life and work of Jan Hus, showing engagement of the Czech theologian in the Czech reformation-national movement of the 16th century. The second part focuses on presenting the content of Jan Hus’s most important theological work – the treaty De ecclesia – pointing, among others, to the use by him of the notion of church as a communion of the chosen and criticism of reducing the concept of church to its institutional form. The third part shows, how Jan Hus’s person and work were received by the Wittenberg Reformation, and especially by Martin Luther who, in his attitude towards the Czech reformer, underwent certain evolution from initial aversion to accepting the reformation movement as a continuation of the work started in Prague.

Nedoceněný objev neznámého Husova listu

A letter of Jan Hus to Hungarian prelates, unknown before and recorded in the manuscript 1994 held by the Regensburger Bischöfliche Zentralbibliothek (Holding Alte Kapelle) was found and presented by Stanislav Petr. The authenticity of the letter was disputed by Božena Kopičková and Anežka Vidmanová who concluded, on the basis of a false dating of the letter from the time of Hus´s vice-chancellorship in the winter semester 1409-1410, that the letter was just a rhetoric exercise of a student of Hus. Hus nevertheless was not the vice-chancellor of the Prague University in the time the letter was compiled, as the word rector was, in this one as well as in other cases, just a part of a set phrase rector et predicator capelle Bethlehem. By the way, a number of further indications testify Hus´ authorship of the Regensburg letter.

The article discusses the similarities between the writings of Jan Hus and Leonardo Boff. The author attempts at explaining them by conducting a comparative study, including text analysis and elements of prosopography. Appa¬rently, comparable socio-economic conditions and biographies may have influenced the works of the two theologians.

The article presents the oldest stages of the development of the Czech and Polish graphics. The Slavic languages discussed here interacted with each other from the moment they were created. As can be seen from the article, in both studied language systems it is possible to distinguish analogous periods of simple graphic (pravopis jednoduchý), composed (pravopis spřežkový) and diacritic (diakritický pravopis). As a result of various changes on the Czech linguistic ground diacritic graphics were created (the exception is today ch). In Polish – as you know – started to function the combined system of complex and diacritical graphics.
PL
W artykule zaprezentowano w skrócie najstarsze etapy rozwoju czeskiej i polskiej grafii, ponieważ omawiane tutaj słowiańskie języki oddziaływały na siebie od momentu ich powstawania Jak wynika z artykułu, w obydwu badanych systemach językowych można wyodrębnić analogiczne okresy funkcjonowania grafii prostej (pravopis jednoduchý), złożonej (pravopis spřežkový) i diakrytycznej (diakritický pravopis). W efekcie różnorakich zmian na czeskim gruncie językowym powstała grafia diakrytyczna (wyjątek stanowi dziś ch), w polszczyźnie natomiast – jak wiadomo – zaczął funkcjonować połączony system grafii złożonej i diakrytycznej.

In this paper I focus on Jakub Niemojewski’s book Odpowiedź na książki… które pisał przeciwko Conffesiej bracie naszej krześciańskiej… Przy tym odpowiedź na historią kacerzstwa Hussowego, którego ten pobożny człowiek nigdy nie by winien in which Niemojewski tries to present Jan Hus biography in context of early modern confessional discusses between Catholics and Protestants. Niemojewski’s book is one of the first attempts to construct Protestant historiography in Polish language, yet it remains a typical example of humanistic historic writing at same time typical. It leads to conclusion that Niemojewski is interesting but almost completely forgotten author, who played important role in Polish Reformation.

W artykule niniejszym staram się przedstawić niemal zapomnianą postać Jakuba Niemojewskiego, ważnego przedstawiciela polskich ruchów reformacyjnych z połowy XVI wieku. Skupiam się na polemice religijnej zatytułowanej Odpowiedź na książki… które pisał przeciwko Conffesiej bracie naszej krześciańskiej… Przy tym odpowiedź na historią kacerzstwa Hussowego, którego ten pobożny człowiek nigdy nie by winien, w której Niemojewski przedstawia biografię Jana Husa. W efekcie Niemojewski tworzy podstawy protestanckiej pamięci historycznej, przy równoczesnym odwoływaniu się do humanistycznych wartości.

Już od czasów św. Augustyna społeczeństwo średniowieczne było głęboko przekonane o związku herezji z diabłem, a heretyków często uważano za członków civitatis diaboli. W środowisku śląskim z podobnie skonstruowaną tożsamością religijną częściej można się spotkać w późnym średniowieczu, kiedy społeczeństwo śląskie stanęło w obliczu zagrożenia husytyzmem. Powyższe znalazło odzwierciedlenie w pracach ówczesnych kronikarzy (np. Petera Eschenloera, Caspara Borgeniego, Johannesa Frobena i innych). Opisy heretyków tworzone były zgodnie z istniejącą już tradycją chrześcijańską i w przeważającej mierze składały się ze stereotypów i toposów związanych z herezją. Artykuł skupia się na analizie strategii narracyjnych stosowanych przez śląskich kronikarzy i stara się wyjaśnić, w jaki sposób kreowali oni obraz heretyków, z naciskiem na rolę, jaką w tych opisach odgrywał diabeł.

Since the times of St Augustine, the medieval society was firmly convinced about the connection between heresy and the devil, and heretics were often considered members of the civitatis diaboli. In the Silesian milieu, a similarly constructed religious identity can be more often encountered in the late Middle Ages, when the society was facing the threat of Hussitism. This was reflected in the works of contemporary chroniclers (e.g., Peter Eschenloer, Caspar Borgeni, Johannes Froben, etc.). The descriptions of heretics were created in accordance with the already existing Christian tradition and predominantly consisted of stereotypes and topoi associated with heresy. The paper focuses on the analysis of narrative strategies used by Silesian chroniclers and endeavours to explain how the image of heretics was created, with an emphasis on the role the devil played in these descriptions, therefore it analyses the relationship between heretics and the devil.

The paper deals with the Jan Hus’ theological Commentary on Sentences by Peter Lombardus concerning the theology of creation, i.e. the creation of visible world, animals and humans before original sin. It is demonstrated that the content of this commentary does not deviate from the standard Catholic theology of that time and follows the theologically relevant questions, while leaving aside those merely speculative ones. The work of creation is conceived as a result of the action of the entire Trinity, i.e. the Father acting through his Word (the Son) in the Holy Spirit.

Traktát Stanislava ze Znojma „De vero et falso“

88%
EN
Stanislav of Znojmo (died 1414), a professor of the Prague Theological Faculty, first a teacher and friend to Jan Hus, but then his decided opponent, wrote a comprehensive treatise, probably around 1403, entitled De vero et falso. The subject of my article is an analysis of the content of this work. In it, Stanislav deals with the question of the truth of a proposition and the problem of its truth-maker. The question of the truth-maker falls into the area of metaphysics, and so the author speaks of metaphysi­cal truth. In so far as metaphysical truth is concerned, Stanislav of Znojmo defends a decidedly realist standpoint, judging that categorematic expressions are not alone in having real counterparts in the world, but syncategorematic expressions (for example, statement conjunctions, words expressing negations and so on) also have such counterparts. Stanislav’s treatise, in its overall orientation, belongs to propositionalism, a trend in logical thought widespread at the end of the Middle Ages. Although the author of the treatise De vero et falso does not cite contemporary authors, he shows a knowledge of some exponents of propositional logic (namely Gregory of Rimini, for example). His main inspiration, however, is undoubtedly the work of John Wyclif.

The author provides evidence in the paper that Hus’ christology and soteriology do not depart from the boundaries of Catholic orthodoxy. Although Hus’ theology was time-conditioned, the author finds compelling questions therein (in contrast to modern commentators). Hus worked on the third book in the first semester of the academic year 1408/1409, which was a time involving a dramatic turn in his fate. Hus’ christology and soteriology is shaped in Anselm’s manner. It contains thought-provoking statements about Christ’s predestination, about his natural mortality, about the reverence of Christ’s humanity and about the worship of images. Hus’ theology of history focuses on the incarnation as the climax and fulfilment of the history of the world. The concept of Christ’s sinlessness, not excluding the ability to sin, is also interesting. In the conclusion, the author brings to light certain inconsistencies contained in the first half of the third book of Hus’ Commentary on Sentences.

Úloha filozofie v živote a diele Jana Husa

EN
This study deals with the role and place of philosophy in the thought of the Czech reformer Jan Hus. The first part of the article seeks to identify some of the basic philosophical positions that Hus absorbed when studying at the Faculty of Arts of Prague University, and which are discernible, particularly in his academic writings. At the same time, attention is given to the consequences of those philosophical perspectives: these, however, are not reflected in Hus’ work. The second part of the article presents a polemic with an interpretation of the important Czech theologian, Zdeněk Trtík, on the question of the status of Aristotelian philosophy in the thought of Hus, especially in his ecclesiology. The third part of the text treats of the status of philosophy in the work of Hus in several of the different parts of his work. The aim of the article is to show that Hus did not devote any great attention to philosophical problems and that accepted philosophical positions sometimes came into contradiction with his reforming endeavour and his preaching activity.

Predložená štúdia sa zaoberá úlohou a miestom filozofie v myslení českého reformátora Jana Husa. Prvá časť príspevku je zameraná na identifikáciu niektorých základných filozofických pozícií, ktoré Hus absorboval počas štúdia na artistickej fakulte Pražskej univerzity a ktoré sú badateľné najmä v jeho akademických spisoch. Autor poukazuje aj na dôsledky týchto filozofických východísk, ktoré však Hus len málo reflektoval. Druhá časť príspevku predstavuje polemiku s interpretáciou významného českého teológa Zdeňka Trtíka vo veci postavenia aristotelovskej filozofie v myslení Jana Husa, najmä v jeho ekleziológii. Tretia časť textu pojednáva o postavení filozofie v Husovom diele, pričom je pozornosť sústredená najmä na relevantné spisy. Cieľom príspevku je poukázať na to, že filozofickým problémom Hus nevenoval veľkú pozornosť a prijaté filozofické východiská sa niekedy dostávali do kontradikcie s jeho reformnou snahou a kazateľskou činnosťou.

Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der Rolle und Stellung der Philosophie im Denken des tschechischen Reformators Jan Hus. Im ersten Teil des Beitrags werden bestimmte grundlegende philosophische Positionen identifiziert, die Hus während des Studiums an der Artistenfakultät der Prager Universität absorbierte und die insbesondere in seinen akademischen Schriften zu sehen sind. Gleichzeitig wird auf die Folgen dieser philosophischen Ausgangspunkte hingewiesen, die von Hus jedoch nur wenig reflektiert wurden. Der zweite Teil des Beitrags enthält eine Polemik bezüglich der Interpretation des bedeutenden tschechischen Theologen Zdeněk Trtík zur Stellung der aristotelischen Philosophie im Denken von Jan Hus, insbesondere in dessen Ekklesiologie. Im dritten Teil wird dann anhand von Werkpassagen die Stellung der Philosophie im Werk von Jan Hus abgehandelt. Ziel des Beitrags ist es, darauf hinzuweisen, dass Hus philosophischen Problemen nicht allzu große Aufmerksamkeit widmete und dass die von ihm übernommenen philosophischen Ausgangspunkte manchmal in Kontradiktion zu seinen Reformbestrebungen und zu seiner Tätigkeit als Prediger gerieten.

Staročeský traktátek o křivé přísaze

88%
EN
This article deals with a short Old Czech treatise on perjury which is written in a manuscript dating from the first half of the 15th century (Prague Castle Archive, Metropolitan Chapter Library by St. Vitus, Number H 10, fol. 270v). It is the unique coherent Czech text contained in this codex which according to its writing originated between the years 1416-1450. The analysis shows that it is a translation of a chapter of the second part of the Decretum Gratiani (causa XXII, questio V, capitulum V) not found elsewhere. The Old Czech text is compared with the Latin wording and with a passage of identic contents in the Czech work by M. Jan Hus called Výklad delší na desatero přikázanie. The executed analysis shows that some details in the Staročeský slovník and in the critical edition of the work by Hus need to be revised.

The main purpose of the article is to find the answer, how two different religious traditions (reformative and catholic) influenced the process of building of historical consciousness of secular Czech society in the interwar period. During the first years of the independent Czechoslovakia existence, a typical phenomenon was a domination of the hussite historical reminiscences, which culminated in the year 1925, during the national celebration of the 510 anniversary of Jan Hus’ death. In the same time, it was possible to notice voices, which were questioning an asymmetric construction of historical consciousness and emphasizing necessity of ‘extracting’ also from other historical traditions. The opportunity to merge two main Czech spiritual traditions occured in the year 1929, when not only Catholic Church, but also Czechoslovak state organised Saint Wenceslas Millennium celebration. ‘Over-confession’ and ‘over-ethnical’ meaning of state parts of celebration should be considered as the successful change of unequal paradigm of historical consciousness, as well as the beginning of gradual process changing Czech society from the community defined in the ethnical-language way into civic society

Miloslav Kaňák (1917–1985) was a Professor at the Jan Hus Czechoslovak Theological Faculty of Prague. M. Kaňák was appointed head of the department of history there in 1950 and worked there until 1981. He pursued his interest in five areas: general history, the period of the National Revival in Bohemia, the Modernist movement of Czech Catholic clergymen, the beginnings of the contemporary Czechoslovak Independent Hussite Church as well as the history of the Medieval Hussite period with special attention to its roots. The paper also pays deeper attention not only to the circumstances of the origin, but also the content of Kanak’s monograph on the English reformer John Wycliffe. The main result of Kanak’s study of this issue was the book: John Wycliffe: The Life and Work of the English Hus Predecessor which was published in Prague in 1973. The book includes an interpretation of the life and writings of Wycliffe and deals with the reception of Wycliffe’s doctrine in Bohemia. The author also discusses the Lollard Movement in England.

This study determines, from a doctrinal view, the date of the origin of Hus’s Quaestio de testimonio fidei christianae as, at the earliest, in the year 1408, and it displays in particular detail Hus’s teaching and its sources in this regard. Among these sources belong on the one hand the texts of Hus’s teacher Stanislav of Znojmo, on the other hand the texts of John Wyclif. It is the tracts of these two that allow one to reconstruct the doctrine of Hus’s standpoint. It is shown that Hus, like Stanislav and Wyclif, was a proponent of the dual creation of universals, that is by a pure act of God and by a pure potential in the sense of first matter. Hus addressed this quaestio in a theological context, or more exactly in the context of Christian faith, although his vocabulary preserves the semblance of philosophical language. Hus clearly sought, in this quaestio, to say that human reason is not capable of knowing universals, but that universals were revealed in scripture (Gen 1,21-25), and therefore every Christian must recognise their existence on the basis of faith.
