Erstausgabe
First Edition. Hardback in original purple boards with the slightly tatty dust-jacket; vii, 269 pp; photographic frontispiece and numerous engravings in the text; edges of pages rather dusty. A Fine copy in VG+ dust-jacket. John Hus (1369-1415) was a Czech theologian, Catholic priest, philosopher and rector of Charles University in Prague. He became a church reformer, an inspirer of Hussitism, a key predecessor to Protestantism and a seminal figure in the Bohemian Reformation. Today we might consider him to be, after John Wycliffe, the first church reformer, as he lived before Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli. His teachings had a strong influence on the states of Western Europe, most immediately in the approval of a reformed Bohemian religious denomination. He was burned at the stake for heresy against the doctrines of the Catholic Church, the Eucharist, and other theological subjects. Book.
