Abstract

We can ascertain from the registers of a prison curate that the by name unknown curate of a Prague prison tried to take effect on the imprisoned by the means of the Aquinas-Kant etics. Apart from a basic edification about God's wisdom, his almightiness, strenght of faith and repeating Ten Commandments he targeted the bad basis of the commited crime and the religious explanation of the correct acting.

The registers show sensibility of the curate in face of evangelicals and Jews using non-conflicting examples from the Bible, which could be accepted by confessors of all mentioned religions.
