Passion and Passion: Intertextual Narratives in late medieval Bohemia between Typology, History, and Parody

Abstrakt

An analysis of three medieval Latin texts written in late medieval Bohemia (namely Passio Johannis Hus, Passio Iudeorum Pragensium, and Passion raptorum de Slapanicz) which are all describing actual events using the structure of the Gospel Passion narrative. What are the implications of this sort of biblical typology? And what does such strong level of intertextuality reveal about the society that produced this text?
