Abstract

Arnest's provincial statutes from 1349 represent the first codification of medieval church law issued in the territory of the historical Czech lands. Several of the total of 86 articles include rules on matrimonial law, the prohibition of clerical concubinage and serious sexual offences. The aim of this paper is to introduce these offences and the penalties imposed on their perpetrators.

Keywords: adultery – canon law – clerical concubinage – Czech lands – medieval church – sexual offences
