The influence of the University of Paris on the Predecessors of M.Jan Hus and on Bohemia

Štěpán z Pálče a pravzorový svět idejí

In his quaestio Utrum Deus super mundum archetypum seu multitudinem idearum, quae sunt rationes vel concausae rerum mundi sensibilis, aeternaliter dominetur, presented by the Master Štěpán of Páleč at the Faculty of Arts of the Prague University before 1407-1408, the author defends the teaching of John Wyclif on Platonic ideas

Wyclif's Ecclesiology and Its Prague Context

Wiclif's teaching on the church has - in the years preceding the Hussite revolution - undoubtedly inspired the Prague intellectual milieu of the Hus circle and even Hus himself. However, despite much of textual concord of both Wyclif's and Hus' like-titled treatise De ecclesia, it can be shown that Hus differs in some important points of this doctrine from Wyclif and that he advocates more moderate views

Hus and Wyclif. A comparison of the two tratises De ecclesia

The Latin treatise of John Hus De ecclesia was the main reason for his being sentenced at the council of Constance. It was supposed that Hus's main source was the treatise of the same name by the Oxford philosopher and theologian John Wyclif. The comparison shows that Hus's text and conception indeed coincides in many places with Wyclif's treatise. Nevertheless the agreement between both in their ecclesiology is far from absolute or total. Hus advocated a moral reform of the Church, continuing the ideas of his Prague predecessors. He also had more respect for the Church as an institutional entity
