Explanation: AI search is worse than fucking worthless, and I hate that it automatically comes up. Jan Zizka was a hero of the Hussite Revolution in the 15th century AD, and we have only a smattering of sources of his writing.

At no point did he write a self-titled autobiography about how great he was.

Could he even write? He wasn't exactly high nobility at birth and it might have been a little harder to read back what he wrote later in life.

Edit:looks like I found a book by Jan https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26761323-modern-computational-models-of-semantic-discovery-in-natural-languages

Who knew he got into computer science?

We have some letters from Jan Zizka, I believe, but nothing terribly long.
