Augustinus Olomucensis information

Augustinus Olomucensis (March 1467, Olomouc^[2] – 3 November 1513, Olomouc)^[4] was a Moravian humanist and theologian. His birth name was Augustin Käsenbrot (or Käsenbrod), but he was also known as Augustinus Moravus or Augustinus Bemus, or, in Czech, as Augustin Moravský or Augustin Olomoucký (or Olomúcký). Augustinus is generally considered the foremost Moravian humanist of his time.^[3]^[5]

^ Truhlář, Josef: Humanismus a humanisté v Čechách za krále Vladislava II., Praha, 1894, p. 64, states that "according to all accounts but one, he was born in Olomouc", the one dissenting account being a verse in a poem written by Augustinus himself, which could be construed to imply that he was born in Bohemia; an interpretation that Truhlář rejects. Czapla gives a brief overview of the controversy about Augustin's birthplace, which has its roots in his sometimes giving his last name as "Käsenbrot von Wssehrd" ("of Všehrdy"). (There are two places called Všehrdy, both in Bohemia, and it is uncertain to which one "Wssehrd" referred.)^[1]
