Jan z Jičína
Jan z Jičína ( German Johann von Jitschin ) († after 1423) was a Czech radical reformer .
The historical sources are silent about the early life of Johann, so his origin is not even cleared. Between the years 1404 he passed the bachelor's examination as a student of Nikolaus von Dresden (Mikuláš z Drážďan) and in 1408 that of the master of the liberal arts at the Prague University . At the same time, John also became a supporter of the Church's reformers .
In 1410 he defended John Wyclif's work De materia et forma together with Jan Hus . In the Anaxagoras , a Quodlibet by Hus, he answered the Quaestio Utrum materia prima est idem compositum in numero cum forma an informis (whether the first substance was a composition with regard to the number of forms or misshapen). A year later with Michal Čížek z Malenic he answered the question Utrum universalia in essendo possunt suscipere predicacionem accidentalem .
In 1412 he honored three slain craftsmen and reformers, Jan, Martin and Stašek, who preached against church indulgences, in the Bethlehem Chapel as the first martyrs of the Hussite movement . His saying “These are saints” has been preserved. He became one of the leaders of the Taborite priests, among other things he is mentioned in 1415 in Sezimovo Ústí . In Tabor , where he joined in the suppression of the so-called Adamic involved sect, he published in 1421 together with Mikuláš Biskupec a diatribe against the Pikartismus the priest Nicholas and sent a letter to decision to Eucharistic dispute with the Pikarten to Jacob of Mies and Jan of Příbrami .
The last time Johann was mentioned in 1423.
