About De ecclesia

De ecclesia is a 1413 theological treatise by the Bohemian priest Jan Hus. Written in Latin during his exile at Kozí Hrádek castle in southern Bohemia following his excommunication, the book is considered his most significant theological work. Drawing heavily upon the teachings of the English theologian John Wycliffe, De ecclesia outlines Hus's views on ecclesiology, predestination, and papal authority. The book's premises formed the primary basis for the charges of heresy against Hus at the Council of Constance, where thirty of his propositions were formally condemned as errors by the Catholic Church.
