Description The study examines one particular aspect of the cult of the saints in the period of the early Bohemian Reformation, connected to veneration of sacred images. By presenting one concrete example, namely a complicated textual tradition of a text by Nicholas of Dresden (who was traditionally considered a theoretician of the Hussite iconoclasm), it addresses itself to the problem of how the abstract philosophical critiques of images could have been transmitted to the popular masses and thus explores the possible connection between theory and iconoclastic practice in the given period.
