This article is focused on the life and work of Stephen of Dolany (cca 1350 - 27 July 1421). He was of lower origin descended from a noble German family called Schramm the knights of Melice (a vanished castle near Vyškov). His ancestors were vassals of the Bishops of Olomouc. He studied at Prague University (Bachelor of Liberal Arts 1372). After completing his studies, he began to work in the royal chancery. He entered the Carthusian order around 1380 and was made prior of the newly founded charterhouse in Dolany near Olomouc in 1388. He led the monastery up until his death continuously. Despite his addiction to Church reform ideas ("devotio moderna"), he strongly opposed the rise and spread of the new-born Hussite movement. In terms of his writing, he is known for the demonstrative anti-Hussite tendencies in his Latin works, f. e. Medulla tritici seu Antiviklef (1408), Antihuss (1412), Dialogus volatilis inter aucam et passerem (1414) and the last Epistola ad hussitas (1417). The authorship of the Latin-Czech bilingual satirical poem Gaude mater ecclesia - Již se raduj cierkev svatá (1419) was recently attributed to him.
