Abstract
An analysis of brief Latin and Czech texts on old hags which are included in miscellanies of Crux of Telcz (1343-1504), an Augustinian Canon of Třeboň, as well as excerpts from the pseudo-Ovidiam poem De vetula (On the old hag). These texts offer an insight into late medieval clichés and commonplaces and confirm the well-known cliches about old women: they are quarrelsome, lascivious, ridiculous but also dangerous.
And, last but not least, that they are considered a good topic for comic narrative.
