abstract
Melchior Vischer’s little known biography of Jan Hus (1940) The subject of this contribution is a biography of Jan Hus, written by Melchior Vischer, native of Teplice, and published by him in 1940 in Frankfurt. The author’s aim is to analyse the motives which inspired Vischer to deal with this topic and to provide a characterisation of this work. The article also follows the impact of the book in the context of the WWII and the Nazi ideology, which Vischer with his work opposed. Attention is also paid to the reception this work had received in Bohemia.
