    AnnotationThe study undertakes an interpretation of the fundamental philosophical texts of Jerome of Prague in the context of his activities in Prague and in Europe. It denotes the main components of his philosophical system with emphasis on the problematic of the universals and, in a discussion with the present research, newly shows sources from the milieu of the Oxford realism which influenced Jerome. By this fact, the study opens a new field for the future research. The article contains also a new interpretation of one of the polemics against Jerome and it also deals with Jerome´s assertion that the adherents of nominalism were diabolical heretics. It shows, on the basis of the study of medieval manuscripts, that this alleged change of the text of St. Anselm is an error in transcription which continued to be presented by the researchers for many tens of years and that Jerome has not modified the text of Anselm.
