Arnošt z Pardubic introduces Prague's first archbishop through a historical study grounded in contemporary sources. Zdeňka Hledíková connects his work in the Church with the learning of his time, his role in founding institutions, and a wider European context. The resulting portrait extends beyond his position as an adviser to the monarch.
Arnošt z Pardubic – Arcibiskup, zakladatel a rádce is a historical monograph by medievalist Zdeňka Hledíková about Prague's first archbishop, a significant figure in 14th-century Czech history. Rather than focusing solely on his close collaboration with Karel IV., the author gives particular attention to his leadership of the Czech Church. She examines his background, education, spiritual life, political and ecclesiastical activities, and involvement in major founding projects of the period. Drawing on contemporary sources, the book also explores his European outlook and the traditions surrounding him after his death.
