This article aims to provide a better understanding of the Basel Compactata by discussing the controversial nature of these documents as demonstrated in international diplomacy and polemical writings of the fifteenth century. It shows that the Compactata could easily have become a crucial bone of contention between Catholics and Bohemian Utraquists, yet the Catholic diplomats’ negative approach toward these documents was evidently not influenced by their origins in the Council of Basel, for other phenomena played a more prominent role. The article also shows that there existed at least three major differences between the standard Catholic and Utraquist interpretation of the key provision of the Compactata, which was possible due to their compromise wording.
