Jakobellus von Mies
Jakobellus von Mies (also Jacobellus von Mies ; Jakob / Jacob von Mies ; Czech Jakoubek ze Stříbra ; Latin Jacobus de Misa , also Jacobus Bohemus ; * around 1372 in Mies ; † August 9, 1429 in Prague ) was a Hussite priest and writer .
Life
Jakobellus von Mies lived for several years in the Minorite monastery in Mies. He later studied theology at Charles University , where he befriended the reformer Jan Hus . In 1393 he earned the academic degree of baccalaureate. After he received his master's degree in 1397 , he taught at the university. He was ordained a priest in 1402 and pastor in 1407 at St. Michael's Church in Prague's Old Town . There he was one of the first to give the Holy Communion to the faithful .
At a synod in February 1413, he rejected the mediation efforts of King Wenceslas IV between Hus and the Catholic Church. With his demand made in the trial against Jan Hus at the Council of Constance that the Lord's Supper be served in both forms in the future, he was unable to prevail. Nevertheless, it soon found widespread use in Bohemia. In the defense of the lay chalice, he was initially supported by Johann von Příbram , who later rose to become the leader of the conservative-utraquist university masters. In 1417 Jakobellus pleaded in a disputation against Simon von Tišnov for communion for children.
Since 1419 Jakobellus von Mies preached in the Bethlehem Chapel . In the disputes between the Utraquists and radical Hussites, he was on the side of the moderate Utraquists. In 1420 he defended his interpretation of the Lord's Supper in a disputation held at the university with such success that several parishes introduced the chalice communion. In response, he was banned from church .
Together with Johann von Seelau , Johann von Přibram and Prokop von Pilsen , Jakobellus belonged to a committee that defended the teachings of the Hussites. At a meeting called by them on November 12, 1421, he turned against the radical thoughts of Johann von Seelau, whom he therefore accused on March 7, 1422.
He defended the thesis that it was absolutely right to defend the word of God with the sword. The Taborites accepted this thesis and thus justified their military traits. This provoked further arguments with Petr Chelčický , who opposed all violence.
Jakobellus von Mies wrote under his Latinized name "Jacobus de Misa" numerous writings on the utraquist doctrine. Some of them were edited by Paul von Bydžov , who himself had written several utraquist defenses.
