In this biography the author extends our understanding of the
personality and work of the man he has characterized as
"essentially a reformer whose ideal was the pure church." Since
1915, the date of the last similar study of Hus, a great deal of
new information has become available, especially in the Czech
language. Professor Spinka has based his study on these new
materials and on critical works about Hus. He has also abstracted
Hus' writings, in Latin and in Czech, thereby clarifying what Hus
taught. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.

This volume in the Library of Christian Classics series offers
fresh translations of works by several early reformers. Inlcuded
among the authors is John Wyclif, whose work is often characterized
as a precursor to the Protestant Reformation.
Long recognized for the quality of its translations,
introductions, explanatory notes, and indexes, the Library of
Christian Classics provides scholars and students with modern
English translations of some of the most significant Christian
theological texts in history. Through these works--each written
prior to the end of the sixteenth century--contemporary readers are
able to engage the ideas that have shaped Christian theology and
the church through the centuries.
