Arnošt of Pardubice / Archbishop, founder and mentor

A book by a leading Czech medievalist, an expert especially in church history, Professor Zdeňka Hledíková, presents Arnost of Pardubice not only in his role as Charles' "right hand", but also and above all as a tireless and creative organizer and reformer of the life of the Church and society, whose fervor seemed to foreshadow the reforming zeal of the pre-Hussite and Hussite era. Z. On the basis of numerous contemporary sources, Hledíková presents Arnošt's education and spiritual world, his European outlook and the respect he enjoyed in the European context, as well as the intimate aspects of his personality - and the mentality of his piety.
