This chapter deals with three groups of intellectuals displaced from Bohemia and Moravia after 1620 and with the ways they developed their networks, strategies of communication and patronage in exile. The first group was formed of humanists previously attached to the University of Prague who continued their networking and literary practices in Saxony. The second group was centred on the Lutheran and Utraquist exile community in the Saxon town of Pirna, which was confronted with attempts to make it confessionally more coherent with the Saxon Lutheran orthodoxy. The third case deals with the Bohemian Brethren exiled in Poland, who previously developed a broad international network that helped them to survive in exile. Thanks to their bishop, Jan Amos Comenius, they were able to benefit from his broad contacts, specific forms of patronage and correspondence networks of Samuel Hartlib and Louis de Geer in which Comenius played a prominent role.
