Summary/Abstract: The article introduces, on the basis of manuscript research, an unpublished treatise of Johannes Braclis from 1379, which is one of the first apologetic documents concerning the legitimacy of Pope Urban VI (1378–1389) in the Bohemian setting. In his treatise, Johannes Braclis responded to the objections raised by the Cardinals who, in September of the same year, 1378, elected Pope Clement VII. Braclis based his argumentation on the allegory of the biblical story of the election of King Saul by the Prophet Samuel while also interpreting other biblical texts, using the writings of Christian and pagan authors and quoting many provisions of contemporary canon law.
