The Jena Code ( Czech Jenský Codex, also Jena Hussite Codex , Latin Antithesis Christi et Antichristi) is a richly illuminated Hussite manuscript from the late Middle Ages.
The anthology was written around 1500 on behalf of the Prague citizen Bohuslav von Čechtice, a follower of the Hussite church. Soon after its creation in Bohemia, the volume became part of the "Bibliotheca Electoralis" in Wittenberg , most of which came to the University Library in Jena in 1549 (signature Ms. El., 50b).
The Codex contains various Czech and Latin texts on general Christian and Hussite topics. The introductory text is in Latin, the other texts are Czech. It includes manuscripts and an incunabula on 111 paper and 9 parchment leaves with a total of 122 illuminations. [3] are known especially the images with Hussite designs, such as the combustion of the Hus (fol. 38r) or the blind Jan Žižka at the head of an army.
