Language as a Weapon. Hilarius of Litoměřice and the Use of Latin and the Vernacular Language in Religious Polemics in Fifteenth-Century Bohemia

Original language description

The study proposes an analysis of the bilingual Latin-Czech controversy between Hilarius of Litoměřice, a Catholic convert and administrator of the Prague archdiocese, who was one of the leading Catholic intellectuals, and the Utraquist university master Václav Koranda the Younger. The written dispute during the reign of Jiří of Poděbrady (in 1464) is a valuable testimony to the perception of the vernacular and its relationship to Latin in a theological context. The article examines this controversy from various perspectives, in particular analysing the conscious and commented choice of Latin and vernacular by both authors and their discussion of this issue, as well as the bird-like metaphor used to designate Catholics and Utraquists. The polemic is interpreted in the context of the wider debate among contemporary theologians and scholars about confession in Bohemia under the reign of the king of heretics.
