Course description: The course will discuss the manifold ways of reform that took place in Central and Eastern Central Europe in the 15th century. It will thematise different reform movements of the century in the Central European region, the regional specificities of the observant movement, and the effect of the church synods (Constance and Basel) and several other monastic reforms, such as the Raudnitz (Roudnice nad Labem) or the Melk reforms, and their impact on medieval society. In some detail, the course will present the case of the Hussite reformers in medieval Bohemia and subsequently focus on the mission of the key player in the papal response to the Hussite heresy, John of Capestrano. On a general level, the course aims to discuss how these reforms and reform movements influenced the religious life of the contemporaries on a long run. The course will cover a wide range of topics and for this reason is designed as a blended learning model with the involvement of various experts on individual topics, including lecturers from Palacky University, Olomouc and University of Vienna.
