Though written in Latin, Andreas ab Habernfeld's _Bellum Bohemicum_ and Paulus Stransky's _Respublica Bojema_ should at least be mentioned, as they belong to this period. Habernfeld, who himself took part in the last war waged by Bohemia as an independent country, and was present at the battle of the White Mountain, has left us a clear though prejudiced account of the events of the years 1618 to 1620. Paulus Stransky, one of the many Bohemian Protestants who ended their lives as exiles, has given a short but lucid account of the ancient Bohemian constitution, and in the same volume a short history of his country. FOOTNOTES: [120] Edited and published by Dr. Erben in 1851. [121] It is impossible to translate this pun. Bartholomew plays on the similarity of the name "Vrat" to the words _zvratiti_ and _převratiti_ (to overturn and to overthrow). [122] It is impossible to paraphrase in fewer than eight words the Bohemian word _nemistrovany_. [123] See my _Bohemia, an Historical Sketch_, pp. 231, 232. [124] See Chapter IV. [125] See page 229. [126] _The Life_ (or rather _Captivity_) _of John Augusta_ was edited and published by Franta-Sumavsky in 1837. The work has recently been translated into German by Dean Joseph Müller of Herrenhut. [127] See Chapter V. [128] Professor Léger in his _Nouvelles Études Slaves_ has translated into French some of Žerotin's letters which refer to his French campaign. [129] See Chapter V. [130] This work has been translated into English by the late Rev. A. H. Wratislaw. [131] Edited and published by Dr. Erben in 1854 and 1855. [132] It is not easy to recognise this word in Harant's self-coined translation or rather adaptation, _trucelman_. [133] A proverbial expression. Senftenberg is a small town in North-Eastern Bohemia. I don't know how its inhabitants acquired this invidious distinction. [134] See pp. 343 and 344. [135] See p. 345. [136] In Bohemian _sekretaričky_. [137] The Altstädter Ring, where the executions took place. [138] It has often been asserted that Slavata, who was a personal enemy of Wallenstein, was the cause of the estrangement between him and the emperor, and indirectly of Wallenstein's murder. [139] This portion of Slavata's works has been edited and published by the late Dr. Jireček. [140] Slavata uses the German word _Knecht_. [141] Readers of Schiller's _Wallenstein_ will remember the scene at the banquet at Pilsen (_Die Piccolomini_, act iv. scene 5), when the servants are listening to the conversation of the generals.
