Abstract
The article develops the thesis of Professor Stefan Swieżawski that Jan Hus, the Czech Reformer sentenced as a heretic by the Council of Constance and in consequence burnt at the stake, can be considered as a precursor of the Second Vatican Council. After a short historical introduction there is an analysis of those ideas of Hus that were reflected in the Vatican II documents Dei verbum, Lumen gentium and Dignitatis humanae. The arguments are completed by a description of the present Catholic approach to Hus and by indicating a possible re-interpretation of his person thanks to the great metanoia launched in the Catholic Church by Vatican II.
