Johannes Hus deutsch

On 6 July 1415, in Constance, Jan Hus was burnt at the stake for heresy. 600 years after this event, this edition of his writings, sermons and letters is intended to remind of the Prague Magister. For the German public the works of Jan Hus in Latin and Old Czech are difficult to access. Therefore the present edition presents a selection of important texts by Hus from 1403 to 1415 in a new German translation. Hus's main work "The Church" is available for the first time in a complete German translation. Introductions and texts will enable the reader to inform himself on the biography, the theological thinking and the trial against Hus before and during the Council of Constance by means of documents written predominantly by Jan Hus himself.
