What it is
Four demands: free preaching of the word, communion in both kinds for the laity, clergy stripped of worldly property, and public sins punished regardless of rank.
Why it lasted
The programme a Bohemian nation went to war for and defended through five crusades — the first successful armed defence of a reform movement in Europe.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
