| Description | The monumental work of Opera omnia of John Hus and Jerome of Prague, printed by Flacius Illyricus in Nuremberg in 1558, completed a century-and-a-half-long interest in the life and work of Bohemia's prominent Church reformers. Yet at the beginning of the 21st century, Hus' Latin Opera omnia are for a greater part still not available in critical editions and Flacius' print remains the point of reference for many of Hus' treatises. The paper presented one of the volumes of Ioannis Hus Opera omnia, which, due to the loss of the original copy of Hus' text, is being prepared solely on the basis of Flacius' old print. Through comparing it with a treatise entitled Apologia by Nicholas of Dresden, which was similarly for a long time available only in an old print by Hermann von der Hardt, the paper discussed how these undertakings affect the modern apprehension of the legacy of the leading figures of early Bohemian Reformation up to this day. |
