Two Unknown Manuscripts by C. R. Jakobson

Summary/Abstract: In the summer of 2005 the author made a discovery at the Latvian National Historical Archives. The two manuscripts by C. R. Jakobson (1841–1882), written in 1871 addressed the lives of two religious reformers – Arnold of Brescia and John Wyclif. As the basic idea of both manuscripts was hostile to the Christian Church they were banned by the Riga censor. Later, Jakobson published them in his newspaper Sakala (1878). The found manuscripts shed additional light on the formation of Jakobson’s anti-clericalism as well as on censorship.
