Zur Verbreitung theologischer Streitschriften im 15. Jahrhundert. Eine antihussitische Sammelhandschrift aus der Erfurter Kartause
The Spread of Theological Polemics in the Fifteenth Century. Anti-Hussite Manuscript from the Charterhouse of Erfurt

Summary/Abstract: The manuscript presently deposited in Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz in Berlin under the shelfmark Ms. Lat. quart.654 allows a reconstruction of ways in which recent theological literature used to be spread in the fi rst half of the fi fteenth century. The manuscript that is comprised predominantly of texts aimed against the Hussite teachings belonged to the library of the Carthusian monastery of Salvatorberg near Erfurt. This case study thus uncovers one of the channels by which the polemical tractates were spread during the times of intense literary production provoked by Bohemian heresy. The article is appended by a detailed list of works contained in the manuscript and an edition of previously unpublished text Responsiones facte ad quatuor articulos, which expresses the opinion of Catholic theologians of the fi rst crusade who participated in the debate with the Hussite representatives in the Lesser Town of Prague in July of 1420.
