Tomáš Štítný ze Štítného


Tomáš Štítný ze Štítného was a Czech nobleman, writer, theologian, translator, and Christian preacher. He was one of the leading figures of the early Czech Reformation, writing and translating Christian tracts for the benefit of the nobility, to assist in wise governance. The Klementinum Codex, a major work, is a collection of some of the essentials necessary for Christian practice and the needs of daily life. He also wrote parables for ordinary people and works purely for entertainment. There is a bronze bust of Tomas Stitny in the pantheon of the National Museum of Prague.
