This study focuses on the preacher Jan Hus as an iconographic type, familiar in particular from the illumination Jan Hus before the Council of Konstanz in the Gradual of Litoměřice, where Hus is depicted performing the gesture of counting arguments, so-called comput digital. However, the gesture of comput digital that Jan Hus makes not only characterises him as a defender of the true faith but also has the character of the act of blessing and ranks him among the saints.
