Abstract

This study deals with an excerpt from a sermon on the Eucharist of Milíč of Kroměříž, just recently identified by the author of the study, which was written, most probably in the first half of the 1460s, by Crux of Telč in the manuscript I F 18, stored in the National Library of the Czech Republic. After concise introductory notes on the content and the manuscript survival of the sermon itself, the first part of the study is devoted to the excerpt of Crux of Telč, its peculiarity as well as the effort to put its wording into the context of the manuscript tradition of Milíč's sermon.

In the second part, the text of the excerpt is published as a critical edition, including the collation of four other manuscripts containing the entire sermon, with a parallel original translation of the excerpt into Czech.
