AGUIAR, Thiago Borges de. Abra esta carta após minha morte: escrita como testamento na correspondência entre Jan Hus e seu discípulo. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2011, vol.33, n.01, pp.87-95. ISSN 2178-5201.
The priest and educator Jan Hus, who was killed by fire in 1415 the Council of Constance, wrote two letters to his disciple Martin of Volyne, in which left a set of instructions for distribution of their material possessions and an list of spiritual teachings. The letters were similar, and the first should only be opened if Martin received from a reliable source news of the death of Hus. This paper examines the context and content of these letters for clues (concept based on historian Carlo Ginzburg) from an educational activity on the part of the sender and the transmission of his place of master to his disciple.
