Sommario/riassunto

This book reconsiders Jan Hus, the late medieval Bohemian priest who was burned at the stake six hundred years ago. This revisionist examination of heresy and religious and social reform in late medieval Europe explores his role and legacy as a priest and reformer in Prague and challenges prevailing views about Hus and the interpretation of his life and thought.
