The Execution of the Miners of Kutná Hora at Poděbrady and in Křivoklát in 1496. On the Veneration of the Miners of Poděbrady in the Sixteenth Century

Original language description

These illuminations from an unknown choral book of Utraquist provenance are traditionally connected with the Gradual of Kaňk from 1559-1561. They differ from the subsequent Baroque depictions of the same subjects by the liturgical placement and context. Although all the extant variants emphasize the motif of unjustly executed miners in Poděbrady and in Křivoklát, it is only the illuminated fragment that connects the miners with the Bohemian Utraquist martyrs, and does it on the basis of a confrontation with the martyr´s death of Jan Hus. Just like Jan Hus, the innocent miners were unjustly sentenced to capital punishment. It is also possible to find a parallel with Hus in the motif of the miner who prior to death turns to God with the hope of a just divine judgment. The executed Kutná Hora miners were thus – on the basis of martyrs´ death and through linkage with Jan Hus – ranked with the Bohemian Utraquist saints, similarly as it happened in the late Gothic illumination of the Smíškovský Gradual. In distinction from Jan Chůdek and other Kutná Hora martyrs, they, however, were not given a liturgical mention in the officia for the feast day of Hus and the Bohemian martyrs.
