Abstract
The aim of the article is to show the Whore of Babylon as presented by Jacob of Mies in his Výklad na Zjevenie (Explanation on the Book of Revelation). Jakoubek referred to the apocalyptic character frequently (close to 50 times in the whole of his work), but the remarks are scattered and it is not easy to gather them in one, coherent image. Instead of building a definition, he used biblical images (like Jezebel, Babylon) and exposed those features which let him explain his own vision of the figure. An important metaphor he uses is that of the false Christ’s bride confronted with vera sponsa Christi – a concept very popular in the Middle Ages to describe relation between the Church and Christ. Jacob shows the Whore of Babylon as a hypocritical gathering of the clergy serving their own lust and needs, whose end is ineluctable and will be caused by a riot of the people once seduced and kept under their rule.
