Abstract

In this paper, we recover an early fifteenth century Bohemian chronicle entitled Husitská kronika (in Czech or Hussite chronicle in English) written by Vavřinec z Březové (Lawrence of Brezova), master of arts from the University of Prague. In that document, the author describes the events ranging from the acceptance of communion in both kinds to the first battles of the Hussite Wars, 1414-1421. Given the absence of material regarding this document in Portuguese, this article will reconstruct the biographical traces of its author and map the chronicle from two versions published in Czech in the second half of the twentieth century. Further, as a first approach to the text, we will make an overview of the nationalist self-image that the author helps build from the association between being a true Czech and a true believer.
