The Prayer Book of George of Poděbrady and Books of Private Devotion in Post-Hussite Bohemia
Original language description
The 15th century, which was in Bohemian kingdom marked by the religious struggle between theUtraquist majority and the Catholic minority, saw an unprecedented spread of literature intended forthe daily use of the laity. Among them were prayer books designed for private devotion. These smallbooks provide an interesting insight into the private religious practice of the elites. An exquisite exampleis the prayer book of King George of Poděbrady commissioned in 1466 by Queen Johanna of Rožmitál asa Christmas gift for her husband. The manuscript, now kept at the Morgan Library and Museum, NewYork, under signature M.921, was decorated in the anonymous painters' workshop active in Prague. Thecontribution analyses the visual as well as the textual aspects of King George's prayer book. Itdemonstrates the connections between the manuscript and the older projects such as the prayer bookof King Ladislaus the Posthumus as well as the connections to contemporary prints, such as the oeuvreof Master E.S. As for the textual part, it is evident that the texts of the prayers were shared between theBohemian Utraquists and the Catholics. Nevertheless, there are could be slight differences such as theomission of mentions of the Purgatory in the Utraquist commissions like King's George prayer book. Thecontribution thus provides a case study for the process of transformation and development of the dailyreligious practice among Bohemian elites during the complicated period after the end of the Hussitewar.
