Christopher D. Schabel: Prozymites and Utraquists at the Council of Basel: Hermann Zoest and the Quarrel over Unleavened Bread
From the execution of a dozen monks in Nicosia in 1231 to the quasi mooning of the Latin Eucharist in Nicosia in the presence of John-Jerome of Prague in 1430, the quarrel over leavened and unleavened bread in the Sacrament of the Altar was the most heated of the religious disagreements between Greeks and Latins. In preparation for discussions with the Byzantines at Basel, the Cistercian Hermann Zoest took it upon himself to investigate the type of bread that Jesus broke at the Last Supper more thoroughly than anyone else had done until his time, composing in 1436 his De fermento et azimo, the critical edition of which is only now being printed.
