The monograph focuses on the prominent writer and cleric Martin Lupáč of Újezd († 1468), who played a key role in the history of Czech Utraquism. The book analyzes his literary work, ideological positions, and historical reflections, particularly in relation to the Basel Compacts, which he helped to negotiate and to which he returned throughout the rest of his life.
Images of the European Middle Ages today are shaped by a wide range of mutually interacting disciplines: history, archaeology, art history, philology, theology, and philosophy. The encounter of different fields and evolving methodological approaches invites a reappraisal of traditional and seemingly closed topics. It is precisely in this direction that the series Středověk (The Middle Ages) proceeds, offering both scholarly monographs and thematic volumes, as well as original sources and their translations. Particular emphasis is placed on making medieval texts accessible, providing commentary on them, and presenting the various ways in which their meanings may be understood.
