The Lives Of John Wicliff, Lord Cobham, John Huss, Jerome Of Prague, And Zisca is a historical book written by William Gilpin in 1766. The book is a collection of biographical accounts of five prominent figures of the 14th and 15th centuries who played a significant role in the religious and political upheavals of their time. The first part of the book focuses on John Wicliff, an English theologian who was a key figure in the Protestant Reformation. Gilpin details Wicliff’s life, his religious beliefs, and his contributions to the translation of the Bible into English. The second part of the book is dedicated to Lord Cobham, a prominent English nobleman who was a follower of Wicliff’s teachings. Gilpin provides a detailed account of Cobham’s life, his political and religious beliefs, and his eventual imprisonment and execution for heresy. The third and fourth parts of the book are dedicated to John Huss and Jerome of Prague, two Czech reformers who were influenced by Wicliff’s teachings. Gilpin recounts their lives, their religious beliefs, and their eventual martyrdoms for their faith. The final part of the book is about Zisca, a Czech military leader who played a crucial role in the Hussite Wars. Gilpin provides a detailed account of Zisca’s life, his military campaigns, and his role in the religious and political conflicts of his time. Overall, The Lives Of John Wicliff, Lord Cobham, John Huss, Jerome Of Prague, And Zisca is a comprehensive and informative book that sheds light on the lives and contributions of five important historical figures who played a significant role in shaping the religious and political landscape of their time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
