Jan Hus , auch Johannes Huss genannt, war ein christlicher Theologe, Prediger und Reformator. Er war zeitweise Rektor der Karls-Universität Prag. Als er während des Konzils von Konstanz seine Lehre nicht widerrufen wollte, wurde er auf dem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt. Die nach Jan Hus benannte Bewegung der Hussiten geht zum Teil auf sein Wirken zurück.
Neuere Forschungen geben den 1. Juli 1372 als Geburtsdatum an.

„I call God to witness that all I have written and preached, has been to rescue souls from sin. There can be no turning back. My Lord walked the path of truth and duty, even though it took Him to Calvary. Can I, one of his humble followers, turn back now? To witness to God's truth is more important than life. Joyfully then, will I confirm with my blood all the writings and preachings of truths that I've held. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commit my spirit.“

„The people from Prague and other Czechs should be whipped who speak half Czech and half German (...) And who could enumerate how the Czech language has already been corrupted, so that the true Czech hears they speak, but he does not understand them. And from that arises envy, anger, conflict, strife and Czech humiliation.“

„God is my witness that I have never taught or preached that which false witnesses have testified against me. He knows that the great object of all my preaching and writing was to convert men from sin. In the truth of that gospel which hitherto I have written, taught and preached, I now joyfully die.“
