Jerome of Prague was a 14th-century Czech philosopher and theologian who became a prominent figure in the reformist movement led by Jan Hus. Educated at Charles University in Prague and later at Oxford, he was heavily influenced by the teachings of John Wyclif. As a university professor and traveling scholar, he advocated for religious reforms, arguing that believers could access divine teachings directly without the mediation of church officials. His radical views led to frequent imprisonment and eventual execution at the Council of Constance in 1416.
