The Letters of John Hus - With Introductions and Explanatory Notes #246766

The translation of The Letters of Hus in the present volume, though both authors are jointly responsible for the form in which it is now presented, is almost wholly the work of Mr. Pope. The Life, Introductions, Collation of Texts, Chronological Arrangement, and Notes have been contributed by Mr. Workman, who is solely responsible for this portion of the book.<br><br>The Letters of Hus have never yet been adequately translated into English. The only extant translation is one by Mackenzie, published in Edinburgh in 1846. This is a rendering, not of the original, but of the French of Bonnechose's edition of the Letters. Unfortunately Bonnechose's work is based upon the very imperfect edition of 1558 - Historia et Monumenta J. Hus et Hieron. Pragensis (also with different pagination and some additional matter, 1715).
