The landgraviate of Thuringia The Ludovingian dynasty reached its peak in 1040. The Wartburg Castle (built in 1067) was the symbol of the Ludovingian power. In 1131 Luis I. received the title of Landgrave (Earl). With this new political landgraviate groundwork, Thuringia became one of the most influential principalities. It was directly subordinated to the King and therefore had an analogous power to the traditional ducats of Bavaria, Saxony and Swabia. Moreover, the sons of the Landgraves were married to the aristocratic houses of the European elite (in 1221 the marriage between Luis I and Isabel of Hungary was consummated). Landgrave Hermann I. was a beloved patron of art. Under his government (1200-1217) the court of Thuringia was transformed into one of the most important centers for cultural life in Europe.

The life of so distinguished a servant of God as Me- lanchthon deserves to be better known to the general reader than it actually is. In the great Reformation of the sixteenth century, his work stands second to that of Luther alone. Yet his life is comparatively unknown to many intelligent Christians. In view of the approaching four hundredth anni- versary of Melanchthon's birth, this humble tribute to his memory is respectfully offered to the public. It is the design of these pages, by the presentation of the known facts in Melanchthon's career and of suitable extracts from his writings, to give a truthful picture of his life, character and work. In the preparation of this book, the author has made use of a number of r^ biographies of ]\Ielanchthon by German authors, and of such other sources of information as were accessi- ble to him. His aim has been to prepare a brief but sufficiently comprehensive life of Melanchthon, in such a form as would interest the people. To what extent he has succeeded in his undertaking, others must judge. (V) That these pages may, in some measure at least, ac- complish their purpose, and make the Christian reader more familiar with the work and merit of the man of God whom they endeavor to portray, is the sincere wish of Thern Author.A CONTENTS, PAGE Introduction ix CHAPTER I.

  • The Word They Still Shall Let Remain
    The Word they still shall let remain: A Reformation pop-up exhibit This exhibit marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. We invite you to explore different perspectives on the Reformation, including the impact of print in producing the German, Swiss, radical, and English reform movements, as well as the response from the Catholic Church and the political ramifications of reform. Indulgences granted by several Popes of Rome in the several churches of Rome collected by William Crashaw in Fiscus Papalis, 1621. V.a.510(8), fol. 1-2v In 1095, Pope Urban II first introduced indulgences as pardons for sin to entice fighters to join the crusades. Later, these ephemeral sheets of forgiveness were granted for completed pilgrimages, for purchase to release souls from purgatory (the doctrine itself authorized in 1439), and were sold to cover sins during life out of the “Treasury of Merits,” a spiritual coffer that contained redemption through the deaths of martyrs and Christ. Rome officially announced the sale of indulgences in exchange for pardon of sin in 1476, 41 years before the 95 Theses. Pope Leo X provided the bishopric of Mainz to Albrecht of Brandenburg and then allowed him to sell indulgences to pay back personal debts. Indulgences are granted to this day for receiving Holy Communion, reciting the rosary, the exercise of the Stations of the Cross and reading scripture, among other acts. Here we see a manuscript account of the various indulgences offered and received, copied from Crashaw’s Fiscus Papalis and provides information on the amount of time remitted from purgatory.

  • 1 the Personal Letters of Martin Luther the Diet of Worms Papers
    The documents below are excerpts from Martin Luther's personal letters written between December 29, 1520 and April 28, 1521. These letters were written before his appearance at the Diet of Worms regarding his excommunication and publications, his appearance at the Diet of Worms where he refused to recant his statements and publications, and the events up to the date of his kidnapping by friends who took him to the Wartburg Castle. The purpose of this edition is to encourage discussion and research by students in World and European History and other interested groups and individuals. The statements following the "Reflection" are the perspective of Hank Bitten, history educator. The pictures and images are not part of Luther's letters and included for the purpose of education and context.

  • Reforming from Below Chapter
    REFORMING FROM BELOW PETER MATHESON CHAPTER ONE igh above the town of Eisenach in Saxony towers the imposing HWartburg castle. With its great halls, its superb museum, and its Renaissance façade, the Wartburg is one of those rare, haunting places a visitor can never forget. It became famous as the refuge of Martin Luther when he was smuggled there after the dramatic gath- ering of the German princes at Worms in 1521. Luther had already been excommunicated by the papacy. By the time he left Worms, he was also under the ban of the empire. He had had the audacity to defy the assembled might of church and state. He was now the ultimate outsider, both heretic and outlaw. His marvelous hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” which still inspires people today, recalls this time of crisis and yet confidence. Luther’s productivity in the Wartburg was remarkable. Despite the threats he was under and his inner turmoil, he succeeded in translating the New Testament into pulsing, vivid German in the unbelievably short period of eleven weeks. Just imagine it! This, then, is the familiar, glory side of the Reformation. On the southern tower of the Wartburg, however, one notices a bronze plaque that alerts us to a much darker side. It records the solitary confine- ment there of Fritz Erbe, a peasant arrested in 1533 for his refusal to have his child baptized. Though by all accounts he had been a gentle, good-living man, the Wittenberg theologians and the Saxon Elector wanted him beheaded for what they regarded as a blasphemous act.
