Реформатори католицької церкви ХІІ–ХV ст. в працях медієвістів України (1835–1885 рр.)

Abstract

The article dwells on the degree of study of the history of reforming activities of Arnoldus de Brixia, Jan Hus, Girolamo Savonarola in the works of researchers in Ukrainian lands of Russian Empire. Medievists (V.P. Buzescul, V.A. Bil’basov, V.C. Nadler, A.F. Vertelovskiy, M.N. Petrov) emphasized justified character of the moves against abuses of medieval Roman Catholic Church, but in characterization of the reasons of such moves not social, but religious ethical aspects were decisive. In works on history of Hussism the Slavophilic point of view dominated that allegedly the struggle of Jan Hus and the Hussite movement itself were genuine attempt of Czechs to return to Orthodoxy, to end German dominance in Czech lands and to desert from the West.
