The Council Of Constance To The Death Of John Hus Being The Ford Lectures Delivered In The University Of Oxford In Lent Term, 1900 (1900)

""The Council of Constance to the Death of John Hus"" is a book written by James Hamilton Wylie and published in 1900. The book is based on the Ford Lectures delivered by the author at the University of Oxford during the Lent Term of the same year. The book covers the events that took place during the Council of Constance, a major event in the history of the Catholic Church. The Council was held between 1414 and 1418 and was convened to resolve the papal schism that had divided the Church for almost 40 years. The book also covers the life and death of John Hus, a Czech theologian who was a key figure in the Protestant Reformation. Hus was burned at the stake for heresy in 1415, during the Council of Constance. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the Council, the proceedings of the Council, and the aftermath of the Council, including the trial and execution of John Hus. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
