| Description | A digital critical edition of the synodal sermon with the incipit State succincti. The sermon is based on the Bible verse from the Epistle to the Ephesians (Eph 6, 14) and was delivered by Jan Hus in Prague archdiocesan synode on 18 October 1407. It was his second synodal sermon (cf. Diliges Dominum Deum from 1405) and he used it to launch a sharp critique of the Church, especially its schism, which was according to him the clearest manifestation of the Antichrist's presence in the world. Many critical passages were inspired especially by John Wyclif's sermon Confortamini in Domino which is based also on Ephesians 6, and as well as by Sermones super Cantica Canticorum composed by Bernard of Clairvaux. Many ideas were later repeated by Hus also in his other works – Tractatus de ecclesia, Expositio Decalogi, Contra octo doctores or can be found in pseudo-Hus's Dicta de tempore or Sermones in Capella Bethlehem. The web presentation of this edition is available on the Magistri Iohannis Hus Opera omnia site. |
