[Footnote 28: At Venice; see the preceding note. Dobrovsky calls it a
splendid edition, and thinks the reason why the Bohemians had it
printed at Venice was, that it could not have been executed so well in
Bohemia. _Gesch. der boehm. Sprache_, p. 343.]
[Footnote 29: The Picardites, or Picards, who are also called
Adamites, existed as early as 1491, when Zhizhka crushed them, without
annihilating them entirely; the Utraquists detested them because they
denied the doctrine of transubstantiation, although they agreed with
them in their general principles. They were frequently confounded with
the Taborites, among whom at last the remnants of them became lost.
The Grubenheimer were the remnants of the Waldenses, who fled to
Bohemia in the middle of the 14th century; where, under persecution
and ridicule, they used to hide themselves in caves and pits,
_Gruben_; hence their name. Under the shield of the Reformation they
thought themselves safe; but met only with new oppressors and
persecutors.
