Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to revise a popular in Czech medieval studies opinion, that preserved from 14th century Život Krista Pána (ŽKP) in its first part is based on Meditationes vitae Christi (MVC), Latin treatise for long time attributed to st. Bona- venture, or that ŽKP is an adaptation or translation of MVC. The author compares the convergent fragments of these texts with the sources of Meditationes vitae Christi and discusses similarities and differences between all of them. She also indicates some differences in the composition of ŽKP and MVC. Finally, she argues that the relationship between these two texts may be slightly different than previously claimed
