Adtiser Department of History ACOONLEDGMENTS The research for this dissertation was completed in 1965-1966 while I was a Fulbright Graduate Fellow in Ger many. I would like to acknowledge my appreciation to the staffs of the Nuernberg Oity Library, the Nuernberg City Archives, and the Bavarian State Archives in Nuernberg. Especially deserving of gratitude are Dr. Fritz Schnelbfigl, Director of the latter institution, for his advice and helpfulness, and Marianne Alt for the multitude of services rendered. I am very grateful to Dr. Josef Pfanner, who greatly lightened the task of examining the Pirckheimer- papiere by making available to me Emil Reicke's notes and numerous copies of those papers. I am deeply indebted to ray adviser, Professor Harold J. Grimm, who first inspired in me an interest in Pirck- heimer and the "herrliche Stadt" Nuernberg, and who pro vided constant assistance in every aspect of this work. To my wife, who assisted me in innumerable ways, I owe a lasting debt of gratitude. ii VITA March 10, 1939 Born-Ellwood City, Pennsylvania 1 9 6 1 ......
