| Description | The paper deals with different types of audiovisual propaganda in the time of the early Czech Reformation. As an example, it analyzes antithetical illustrations preserved in two famous medieval codices and their possible original textual model, a Latin text entitled Tabule veteris et novi coloris written by Nicholas of Dresden. By way of bringing a new piece of information about its textual tradition it reassesses the communication means its author arguably had in mind. |
