Cosmas of Prague (Czech: Kosmas Pražský; Latin: Cosmas Decanus; c. 1045 – October 21, 1125) was a priest, writer and historian.
Between 1075 and 1081, he studied in Liège. After his return to Bohemia, he married Božetěcha with whom he had a son, named Hermann or Zdic, and remained in minor orders. His son later became Bishop of Olomouc. In 1094, he was ordained a deacon, and in 1099, he was ordained a priest at Esztergom, Hungary.[1]
His magnum opus, written in Latin, is called Chronica Boemorum. The Chronica is divided into three books:
In the later 12th and 13th centuries, Cosmas's continuators brought his history down to 1283.[2]
