Xerox University Sysicrofilms 300 Norih Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 75 - 11,358 HENDEL, Kurt Karl, 1944- JOHANNES BUGENHAGEN's EDUCATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pa^(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5.

While Melanchthon*s contributions have been extensively examined, Bugenhagen*s work has not been analyzed as carefully. His place in the triumvirate of German reformers is quite se­ cure, but Reformation scholars have little to say about the Pomeranian reformer. A general recognition of his organizing genius and his close relationship with Luther usually suffices as a description of Bugenhagen*s signif­ icance for the Reformation. Few biographies of Bugenhagen have appeared in the twentieth century, and those which have are generally based on the nineteenth-century works of Karl August Trau- gott Vogt 1 and Hermann Hering. 2 While a series of commem­ orative collections appeared in 1 9 5 8, the four hundredth anniversary of Bugenhagen*s death, a large proportion of the articles addressed themselves to Bugenhagen-s signif­ icance for a particular geographical area. The volume edited by Werner Rautenberg does contain helpful material#^ The only significant monograph about Bugenhagen in the twentieth century has been Johannes H. Bergsma*s analysis & of Bugenhagen*s liturgical work. Even Bergsma's study 2 is in large part merely a collection of the liturgical sec­ tions in Bugenhagen*s church orders. It is particularly surprising that BugenSmgea* s edu­ cational work has not attracted significant historical scholarship. Luther's creativity and contributions in the area of education have quite naturally received extensive attention.^ Melanchthon has found a place in history as the Praeceptor Germaniae. However, except for passing references in histories of education and two nineteenth- century doctoral dissertations devoted to the general sub­ ject , ^ Bugenhagen*s educational contributions have been overlooked or ignored. Yet Bugenhagen deserves recogni­ tion for his dedication to the revival and the growth of education in the sixteenth century. He established schools wherever he organized churches in northern Germany and Den­ mark. His church orders, the constitutions of the new evangelical churches which Bugenhagen produced for every area in which he worked, consisted of three major sections. A school order always constituted one of these sections. In his school orders Bugenhagen presented a comprehensive educational program for the new evangelical churches. It is my purpose in this dissertation to examine and evaluate Bugenhagen*s educational contributions through a study of his career as an educator and a careful analy­ sis of his school orders. While Bugenhagen was not a creative educational theorist, he was a capable and dil­ igent educator and administrator. His body of school 3 orders, one of the most extensive and significant produced during the sixteenth century, played an essential role in the establishment of schools in the evangelical areas of northern Germany. Bugenhagen's educational work was deeply appreciated by his contemporaries. It deserves the atten­ tion of twentieth-century Reformation scholarship.

  • Law, Counsel, and Commonwealth: Languages of Power in the Early English Reformation
    Law, Counsel, and Commonwealth: Languages of Power in the Early English Reformation Christine M. Knaack Doctor of Philosophy University of York History April 2015 2 Abstract This thesis examines how power was re-articulated in light of the royal supremacy during the early stages of the English Reformation. It argues that key words and concepts, particularly those involving law, counsel, and commonwealth, formed the basis of political participation during this period. These concepts were invoked with the aim of influencing the king or his ministers, of drawing attention to problems the kingdom faced, or of expressing a political ideal. This thesis demonstrates that these languages of power were present in a wide variety of contexts, appearing not only in official documents such as laws and royal proclamations, but also in manuscript texts, printed books, sermons, complaints, and other texts directed at king and counsellors alike. The prose dialogue and the medium of translation were employed in order to express political concerns. This thesis shows that political languages were available to a much wider range of participants than has been previously acknowledged. Part One focuses on the period c. 1528-36, investigating the role of languages of power during the period encompassing the Reformation Parliament. The legislation passed during this Parliament re-articulated notions of the realm’s social order, creating a body politic that encompassed temporal and spiritual members of the realm alike and positioning the king as the head of that body. Writers and theorists examined legal changes by invoking the commonwealth, describing the social hierarchy as an organic body politic, and using the theme of counsel to acknowledge the king’s imperial authority.

  • Elizabeth I's Commonplace Book
    Duncan 1 Educating a Princess: Elizabeth I’s Commonplace Book by © Moira Duncan A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts Department of English Memorial University of Newfoundland July 2019 St. John’s Newfoundland Duncan 2 Abstract Elizabeth I (1558-1603) received an exceptional humanist education in a time when female learning primarily meant moral and domestic training. Elizabeth’s instruction combined elements of both the privately oriented domestic education of women and the more public rhetorical training reserved primarily for men. Her educational model is most clearly shown in the commonplace book associated with her, which constituted a vital component and indispensable tool in her training. In 1563 a commonplace book, entitled Precationes Priuate, Regiae E[lizabethae]. R[eginae] (STC 7576.7) was published under Elizabeth’s name by the London printer Thomas Purfoot. Aside from Precationes, or private prayers, the composite volume also includes two other works: Sententiae, a collection of sayings, and Regna Quibis Imperat Elizabeta Regina Angliae, a detailed description of the administrative bodies of her realm. Not only are these elements typically found in both male and female commonplace books, but they also reveal her unique princely education shaped by both feminine and masculine rhetorical instruction. The same gendered duality that is present in her commonplace book is also detectable in her speeches. In fact, Elizabeth applied the same compositional techniques associated with her commonplace book in her speeches written for both her subjects and parliament.

An indispensable source for Alberti’s political thought and a supremely interesting example of how the comic spirit of the early Renaissance expressed itself in literature, Alberti’s Momus is a political and social satire set in the form of an allegorical/mythological fable. Its mood is that of a light- hearted humanist jeu d’esprit; its humorous and even farcical manner was intended, as Alberti states in his preface, to make readers laugh while at the same time confronting them with serious political and social issues, in particular, with the question of what makes a good ruler.

  • “If Luther Will Accept Us with Our Confession …”: the Eucharistic Controversy in Calvin’S Correspondence up to 1546
    “If Luther will accept us with our confession …”: The Eucharistic controversy in Calvin’s correspondence up to 1546 Alasdair Heron (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany)1 Visiting Professor, Department of Dogmatics and Ethics University of Pretoria Abstract The article explores Calvin's attitude to the Eucharistic controversy between Wittenberg and Zurich in the years up till Luther's death in 1546. The main source is Calvin’s letters from that period, which cast a differentiated light on his aims, hopes and disappointments on the question as well as on his relations to other leading Reformers. Account is also taken of several recent publications, which suggest revision of some long-standing views in Calvin scholarship. 1. INTRODUCTION Early in 1536, at the age of only 26, the young John Calvin published the first edition of his Christianae Religionis Institutio2 and thereby made his first prominent entrance on the public stage of protestant theology – the setting among other things of the Eucharistic controversy between Luther and his followers and the adherents of Zwingli in Switzerland and southern Germany. It is not therefore surprising that already in this early work Calvin took up a 1 Prof Dr Alasdair I C Heron, is Chairperson of Reformed Theology (Lehrstuhl für Reformierte Theologie) at the Institut für Systematische Theologie, Friedrich-Alexander Universität, Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.

The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Abstract Ingemarsdotter, J. 2011. Ramism, Rhetoric and Reform. An Intellectual Biography of Johan Skytte (1577–1645). Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 42. 322 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-8071-4. This thesis is an intellectual biography of the Swedish statesman Johan Skytte (1577–1645), focusing on his educational ideals and his contributions to educational reform in the early Swedish Age of Greatness. Although born a commoner, Skytte rose to be one of the most powerful men in Sweden in the first half of the seventeenth century, serving three generations of regents. As a royal preceptor and subsequently a university chancellor, Skytte appears as an early educational politician at a time when the Swedish Vasa dynasty initiated a number of far-reaching reforms, including the revival of Sweden’s only university at the time (in Uppsala). The contextual approach of the thesis shows how Skytte’s educational reform agenda was shaped by nationally motivated arguments as well as by a Late Renaissance humanist heritage, celebrating education as the foundation of all prosperous civilizations. Utilizing a largely unexplored source material written mostly in Latin, the thesis analyzes how Skytte’s educational arguments were formed already at the University of Marburg in the 1590s, where he learned to embrace the utility-orientated ideals of the French humanist Petrus Ramus (1515–1572).

Neben dem be- trächtlichen Vorrücken seiner eignen Grenze nach Westen hat es im Be- sitz von Königsberg und mit der Kontrolle der pommerschen Häfen eine Stellung erreicht, die mit Leichtigkeit weiter ausgebaut werden kann. Pommern aber ist auf diese Weise wieder in das Spiel der Kräfte ein- geschaltet worden, die sein Schicksal von je bestimmten, den Kampf um den Ostseeraum.

Nicht als den bahnbrechenden Strom, aber auch nicht als den abseits liegenden stillen Seitenarm, sondern mitten im Flusse des Geschehens, so müssen wir Pommern sehen, wollen wir sein wahres Gesicht erkennen.

  • Christian Networks in the Early Modern Period by Markus Wriedt
    Christian Networks in the Early Modern Period by Markus Wriedt Modern network analysis is extremely useful when investigating not only the relationships between individuals and within groups and institutions, but also virtual connections. It allows one to systematically identify, examine and depict commu- nicative relationships within their historical context. This enables the researcher to recognise efficiently which individuals interacted with one another, in what spaces and in the framework of what regulatory structures, and what function and significance individuals had in the context of these interlocking relationships. In addition, this approach shows how a net- work is not comprised of the sum of the individual contributions, but rather develops systematically its own potential, which per se constitutes the attractiveness and significance of the network. In regard to their composition and to their own potential, networks are continually subject to developments that must be understood in the light of both external and internal factors. This article attempts to provide a historical overview of those communicative networks that existed, or began to establish themselves, in the early modern period and that possessed a markedly Christian character.

    CENTRALANTIKVARIATET catalogue 80 POMMERN Books from and about Pomerania, from the library of Victor von Stedingk Introduction by Lars Victor von Stedingk Stockholm mmxv centralantikvariatet Österlånggatan 53 | 111 31 Stockholm | +46 8 411 91 36 www.centralantikvariatet.se | e-mail: [email protected] Bankgiro 585-2389 Medlem i Svenska antikvariatföreningen Member of ILAB Förord För 200 år sedan, i oktober 1815, lämnade de sista svenska soldaterna och ämbets- männen Svenska Pommern, som då i ungefär 170 år varit en svensk provins. Istället blev det en del av Preussen. Detta 200-årsjubileum har väl inte uppmärksammats nämnvärt i Sverige, men vi tycker det är mycket roligt att just detta år kunna pre- sentera en katalog med böcker om och från Pommern. Böckerna i samlingen har tillhört Victor von Stedingk, boksamlare och bok- bandsspecialist, som på grund av släktens pommerska ursprung hade en stark för- kärlek för böcker rörande Pommern, och då inte bara det Svenska Pommern utan lika mycket det forna hertigdömet Pommern. Om familjen von Stedingk och Pom- mern berättar Lars Victor von Stedingk i sin inledning till katalogen. Urvalet av böcker i samlingen är mycket personligt och deras olikartade kopp- lingar till Pommern ger en stor variation på både ämnen och ålder. Påpekas bör mängden av tidiga Pommerntryck, med många tryckorter och tryckare represen- terade. Åtskilliga av dessa är också i mycket fina samtida band, ofta även de med associationer till Pommern, och i några fall med utsökta provenienser, som t.ex. det hertigliga biblioteket i Stettin, nuvarande Szczecin i Polen. Ett särskilt register över pommerska tryckare och tryckorter återfinns sist i katalogen.
