At the end of his life, Sleidan expressed disappointment over a career that had "soured after once looking so promising" Kess has shown that the Commentaries were but one of many works composed in the sixteenth century that contributed to Protestant visions of history; the quest for the Protestant vision of history in this period is better redirected than further pursued. In this respect, the chapter on the French reception of Sleidan is thorough, down to details about the printing history and the various editions--more so than the parallel discussion of the German reception. Soon afterwards he became a civil servant of the city of Strasbourg, and finished his great task inthough lack of money and other misfortunes compelled him to delay printing.

Kess demonstrates that there is much we can discern only "in oblique light"if at all, simply because of the limitations of the evidence.

Despite early hostile reactions, this history was an immediate success with the buying public, published in numerous editions and by the year circulated in six different languages. Andrews Studies in Reformation History. Kess demonstrates that this was due to the timing of publication, which came in the midst of the sensitive negotiations toward what would become the Peace of Augsburg in When it became clear that a reconciliation was not to be achieved, among the projects taken up by the leaders of the league was an effort to provide an account of what had transpired over the course of the Reformation--a history that would cast the Reformers in a proper light and justify the actions of the league, especially the refusal of its members to submit to the emperor. In general, his history gives more attention to politics and does not seek to serve the interests of polemic. It remains a valuable contemporary history of the times of the Reformation, and contains a large collection of documents.

Alas, the collapse of the Schmalkaldic League resulted in the termination of his employment as its historian, but not of his work toward the history of the Reformation. Kess's analysis of how the Commentaries were differently received in the empire and France is a fascinating part of her book: in the empire immediate reactions were strong and varied; but thereafter, the Commentariesthough translated, expanded upon, and many times reprinted, became not much of a weapon or a target in conflicts between Lutherans and Catholics.

Aldershot: Ashgate Publishing Company, Over the course of the Reformation in Germany, the imperial city of Strasbourg provided several of the key figures who sought to mediate between Protestant and Catholic, most notably the reformer Martin Bucer and the statesman Jacob Sturm. Sleidanus had been accustomed to copy all papers bearing upon the Reformation to which he had access, and Martin Bucerwho had seen his collection, proposed to Philip of Hesse to appoint him historian of the Reformation, giving him a salary and access to all necessary documents.

These reservations aside, Kess has produced a fine study of a neglected figure from the Reformation--neglected by modern historians, that is, not in his own age, as she demonstrates.

  • History, Historiography, and Interpretations of the Reformations
    Chapter 1 History, Historiography, and Interpretations of the Reformations We are like dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants; thanks to them, we see farther than they. Busying ourselves with the treatises written by the ancients, we take their choice thoughts, buried by age and human neglect, and we raise them, as it were from death to renewed life. Peter of Blois (d. 1212) History and Historiography Peter of Blois penned this famous aphorism almost exactly three centuries before Luther’s “Ninety-Five Theses” rocked Europe. A major study of the historiography of the Reformation (Dickens and Tonkin 1985: 323) concludes that it is “a window on the West, a major point of access to the developing Western mind through the last five centuries. … By any reckoning, the Reformation has proved a giant among the great international movements of modern times.” On its shoulders we can look far- ther and deeper in both directions; that is, we can peer into both the medieval and contemporary worlds. History provides a horizon for viewing not only the past but also the present and the future. The philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer (1975: 269, 272) argued that a person without a horizon will overvalue what is immediately present, whereas the horizon enables us to sense the relative significance of what is near or far, great or small. “A horizon means that one learns to look beyond what is close at hand – not in order to look away from it, but to see it better within a larger whole and in truer proportion.” In other words, “far away facts – in history as in navigation – are more effective than near ones in giving us true bearings” (Murray 1974: 285).

Mitchel This thesis ~nalyzes a variety of sources such as printed books, diplomatic correspondence, letters, and notes, from which a description of Tudor ideas in relation to proposals to hold a general council can be derived. This Tudor Conciliar Theory has a definite beginning. Henry VII I developed a.flexible foreign policy to deal with continental suggestions to hold a general council of the church. The position which he took was that the English nation was not opposed to such a gathering, but on every occasion, matters of detail were used to block English participation. While these procedural details kept Henry from participating, a second 11wal1 11 of defense was raised: Henrician propagandists insisted that the princes of Christendom, not the pope, should be instrumental in calling a council into session.

  • Discourses of Religious Change in England, C. 1414 – 1688
    THE SEMANTICS OF REFORMATION: DISCOURSES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, C. 1414 – 1688 By [Copyright 2016] Benjamin Michael Guyer Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson: Jonathan Clark ________________________________ Luis Corteguera ________________________________ Katherine Clark ________________________________ Steven Epstein ________________________________ Geraldo Sousa Date Defended: March 07, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Benjamin Michael Guyer certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE SEMANTICS OF REFORMATION: DISCOURSES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, C. 1414 – 1688 ________________________________ Chairperson: Jonathan Clark Date approved: March 07, 2016 ii Abstract The Semantics of Reformation: Discourses of Religious Change in England, c. 1414 – 1688 examines how the events of the sixteenth century were conceptualized as the English Reformation. The word ‘reformation’ was widely used during these centuries, but its meaning changed in significant ways. By adopting a linguistic methodology, the dissertation studies reformation as a concept in motion; consequently, the English Reformation, a term widely used today, is treated not as an analytic category but as a historiographical label that developed contingently. The chapters fall into three roughly equal sections, each of which covers a distinct discourse of reformation. Chapters one and two cover the first discourse, which identified reformation as the work of a church council. This discourse began at the Council of Constance (1414 – 1418) and remained firmly in place in all Christian localities through the mid-sixteenth century, when it was challenged by a new discourse: reformation by armed resistance, which is introduced at the end of chapter two and discussed in chapters three and four.

  • Reformations Lost and Found CARINA L
    INTRODUCTION 12 Reformations Lost and Found CARINA L. JOHNSON hen Johannes Sleidanus became the official historian of the Schmal- Wkaldic League in 1545–46, he was charged with describing “the whole matter of religion as it had started in our times, how far it has proceeded, and the events that have happened concerning this.” To advance the project, Elector John Frederick of Saxony and Landgrave Philip of Hesse agreed to supply Sleidanus with documentary source materials as needed. The princes also stipulated that they should have final approval over the resulting history. After the League was defeated and the princes imprisoned, Sleidanus perse- vered in his research, seeking documentary sources elsewhere. His history of the initial decades of religious reform was published in 1555 during the Diet of Augsburg. Sleidanus and his printer expected a controversial reception of the Commentaries on the Condition of Religion and the State under Charles V by Catholics and the Habsburg court, and sought to limit its social disruptiveness by printing it only in Latin. Protestant objections to the Commentaries were less anticipated, yet Philipp Melanchthon criticized it for containing “much which should be buried in eternal silence.” Sleidanus defended his history by emphasizing its dependence on the documentary evidence. Despite such cri- tiques, the Commentaries became extremely popular, and the book was soon translated into German, French, and other vernaculars. The history was con- sidered an indispensable account of politics and religion in the Holy Roman Empire during the first half of the sixteenth century. Its success led Sleidanus to be heralded as the first historian of the Reformation.1 Sleidanus’s experiences highlight the complexities of writing and reading histories of the Reformation.

  • Die Manderscheider Herrschaft Schleiden Im Reformationszeitalter
    Die Manderscheider Herrschaft Schleiden im Reformationszeitalter Vortrag für das Geschichtsforum Schleiden im Evangelischen Gemeindehaus Gemünd am 13. September 2016 von Andreas Züll, M.A. Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, verehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen, verehrte Gäste! Lassen Sie mich – als gebürtiger Schleidener – einige persönliche Worte voranstellen. Es ist mir eine außerordentlich schöne Ehre, heute hier im evangelischen Gemeindehaus zu Ihnen über die wechselvolle Geschichte der Reformation in unserer Region sprechen zu können und ich möchte mich herzlich bei dem Geschichtsforum Schleiden, der evangelischen Trinitatis- Gemeinde und dem Netzwerk Urft und Olef für die Einladung hierher bedanken. Ich wähne mich dabei in bester Gesellschaft: Im ansonsten unglückseligen Jahr 1933 hielt hier in Gemünd der Ihnen sicher bekannte Lehrer und Lokalhistoriker Wilhelm Günther schon einmal einen thematisch ähnlichen Vortrag, wenn auch mit dem aus heutiger Sicht etwas martialisch klingenden Titel Die Reformation und der Kampf um ihren Bestand in der Nord- Eifel. Die kämpferische Rhetorik zwischen den christlichen Konfessionen gehört – Gottlob! – im Großen und Ganzen längst der Vergangenheit an und ist der ökumenischen Zusammenarbeit gewichen. Und so ist eigentlich schon fast selbstverständlich geworden, was vor 83 Jahren noch gar nicht so selbstverständlich war, dass ein katholischer Historiker in einem evangelischen Hause über die gemeinsame Geschichte der Reformationsepoche sprechen kann. In Zeiten, in denen wieder viel über religiöse und kulturelle Unterschiede debattiert wird, ist das eine gute, eine hoffnungsvolle und vor allem eine ermutigende Sache! Auch der Protestant Günther hat das schon verstanden, er hat in seinen Arbeiten oft die Wogen zu glätten versucht, die zu seiner Zeit unter den Lokalhistorikern beider konfessioneller Lager noch oft hoch schäumten.

Oberman genially agreed that a room without books is like a body without a soul. Every room in Oberman’s pleasant home in the Santa Catalina foothills overlooking Tucson did in fact have its books—many books—and indeed a soul. From his student years in his native Utrecht and at Oxford and then through his long career of research and teaching at Harvard University, the Universität Tübingen, and the University of Arizona, he had assembled an extensive personal library in support of his untiring scholarship in late medieval and Reformation history. Shortly before his death on 22 April 2001 he and his family offered his books for acquisition by the University of Arizona Libraries as part of an arrangement that would establish a chair in his name in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences’ Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies, a unit that he had founded five years after his arrival at the University in 1984.

  • Commentary on Additions to a Tale of A
    Additions to A Tale of a Tub Commentary p.1 Abstract of what follows after Sect. IX. in the Manuscript] Although this has been thought to be “a mistake for ‘X’” (GUTHKELCH AND NICHOL SMITH, p. 302n1), there are good reasons to believe that “Sect. IX” is correct (see Textual and Historical Introduction, p. 7). The History of Martin] ‘Martin’ naturally evokes the spiritus rector of the Reformation (see the footnote appended to the Tale’s fifth edition of 1710 [Prose Works, I, 84]), Martin Luther (1483-1546), whose controversial and contentious life looms particularly large in two ecclesiastical histories which Swift “abstracted” at Moor Park in 1697/8 (REAL [1978], pp. 128, 130): the first by Johannes Sleidanus, Commentariorum de statv religionis & reipublicæ Carolo V Cæsare libri xxvi ([Frankfurt: Johannes Theodor Schönwetter, 1610], pp. 1-74), and the second by Pietro Soave, better known as Father Sarpi, History of the Council of Trent (trans. Sir Nathanael Brent [London: by John Macock for Samuel Mearne, et al., 1676], pp. 5-15, 70-72, and passim [PASSMANN AND VIENKEN III, 1704-5]); ‘Martin’ also represents the Church of England (see the gloss on “to drop the former Martin, & to substitute in his place Lady Besses Institution, which is to pass under the name of Martin in the sequel of this true History” [p. 5, ll. 18-20]). Irritatingly, however, Martin seems to be the ‘weakest’ and the least outstanding of the three brothers in the Tale; a fact that has led to the extraordinary conclusion that “Swift would have accomplished his aim best by leaving Martin out” (Ehrenpreis, Mr Swift, pp.
