  • Johann Tetzel in Order to Pay for Expanding His Authority to the Electorate of Mainz
    THE IMAGE OF A FRACTURED CHURCH AT 500 YEARS CURATED BY DR. ARMIN SIEDLECKI FEB 24 - JULY 7, 2017 THE IMAGE OF A FRACTURED CHURCH AT 500 YEARS Five hundred years ago, on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther published his Ninety-Five Theses, a series of statements and proposals about the power of indulgences and the nature of repentance, forgiveness and salvation. Originally intended for academic debate, the document quickly gained popularity, garnering praise and condemnation alike, and is generally seen as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. This exhibit presents the context of Martin Luther’s Theses, the role of indulgences in sixteenth century religious life and the use of disputations in theological education. Shown also are the early responses to Luther’s theses by both his supporters and his opponents, the impact of Luther’s Reformation, including the iconic legacy of Luther’s actions as well as current attempts by Catholics and Protestants to find common ground. Case 1: Indulgences In Catholic teaching, indulgences do not effect the forgiveness of sins but rather serve to reduce the punishment for sins that have already been forgiven. The sale of indulgences was initially intended to defray the cost of building the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome and was understood as a work of charity, because it provided monetary support for the church. Problems arose when Albert of Brandenburg – a cardinal and archbishop of Magdeburg – began selling indulgences aggressively with the help of Johann Tetzel in order to pay for expanding his authority to the Electorate of Mainz. 2 Albert of Brandenburg, Archbishop of Mainz Unused Indulgence (Leipzig: Melchior Lotter, 1515?) 1 sheet ; 30.2 x 21 cm.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.

Institutional Transplant and Cultural Proximity: Evidence from Nineteenth-Century Prussia* Giampaolo Lecce† and Laura Ogliari‡ This version: March 2017 Abstract The economic impact of exported institutions depends on the underlying cultural envi- ronment of the receiving country. We present evidence that cultural proximity between the exporting and the receiving country positively affects the adoption of new institutions and the resulting long-term economic outcomes. We obtain this result by combining new information on pre-Napoleonic kingdoms with county-level census data from nineteenth- century Prussia. This environment allows us to exploit a quasi-natural experiment gener- ated by radical Napoleonic institutional reforms and deeply rooted cultural heterogeneity across Prussian counties. We show that counties that are culturally more similar to France, in terms of either religious affiliation or historical exposure to French culture, display bet- ter long-term economic performance. We analyze a range of alternative explanations and suggest that our findings are most easily explained by cultural proximity facilitating the adoption of new institutions. Keywords: Institutions, Institutional Transplants, Culture, Economic Growth JEL classification: N13, N43, O47, Z10, Z12 *This is a substantially revised and extended version of a paper previously circulated in Spring 2016.

  • Printing and Europe's Transformation After Gutenberg Jeremi
    ISSN 2042-2695 CEP Discussion Paper No 1600 January 2019 New Media and Competition: Printing and Europe's Transformation after Gutenberg Jeremiah Dittmar Skipper Seabold Abstract We study the role of book content in economic, religious, and institutional development after the introduction of printing, and the role of competition in determining the amount and content of local printing. We focus on (1) business education content and (2) religious ideas during the Protestant Reformation. We construct data on printing output and competition in European cities 1454-1600.We document positive relationships between business education content and city growth, and Protestant content and institutional change. We find competition predicts content. We confirm the relationships between competition, content, and outcomes using printer deaths as a source of exogenous variation. Key words: competition, firms, media, technology, institutions, religion, politics JEL Codes: L1; L2; N0; N3; N8; O3; O4 This paper was produced as part of the Centre’s Growth Programme.

  • Institutional Trans- Plant and Cultural Proximity: Evidence from Nine- Teenth - Century Prussia” by G
    SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS TO “INSTITUTIONAL TRANS- PLANT AND CULTURAL PROXIMITY: EVIDENCE FROM NINE- TEENTH - CENTURY PRUSSIA” BY G. LECCE AND L. OGLIARI A APPENDIX Prussian counties by French Presence Figure A1 shows the counties in territories controlled by Napoleon differentiating between annexed areas and satellite states in our sample. All the counties under Napoleonic influence west of the Elbe river belonged either to the Duchy of Warsaw, a state established by Napoleon in 1807 after the Treaty of Tilsit, or to the Republic of Danzig, a semi-independent city-state established by Napoleon on 9 September 1807. We consider the German northwest territories (the Duchy of Arenberg) as satellite states even though they were later annexed, in December 1810, by the French Empire. Figure A1: Counties Under Napoleonic Influence 1 Summary Statistics by Napoleonic Treatment and Complete Base- line Specification We start this section by presenting summary statistics separately for invaded and not-invaded territories to better gauge the characteristics of the treatment and the control groups in Table A1. As expected, the comparison shows that invaded areas tend to be on average more developed than the not-invaded ones and, while demographic characteristics are comparable across the two groups, the not-invaded areas dis- play a higher share of Protestants in the county population. In Table A2 we follow Donges et al. (2017) and test whether we can predict either the probability of falling under French influence or the duration of the French rule with pre-1789 variables that account for geographic and economic characteristics. The sugges- tive findings corroborate the anecdotal evidence that Napoleonic military campaigns were not driven by the economic prospects of the invaded areas but rather by geo-political and ideological reasons.

  • Public Goods Institutions, Human Capital, and Growth: Evidence from German History∗
    Public Goods Institutions, Human Capital, and Growth: Evidence from German History∗ Jeremiah E. Dittmar Ralf R. Meisenzahl London School of Economics Federal Reserve Board Abstract What are the origins and consequences of the state as a provider of public goods? We study public goods provision established through new laws in German cities during the 1500s. Cities that adopted the laws subsequently began to differentially produce and attract human capital and to grow faster. Legal change occurred where ideological competition introduced by the Protestant Reformation interacted with local politics. We study plagues that shifted local politics in a narrow period as sources of exogenous variation in public goods institutions, and find support for a causal interpretation of the relationship between legal change, human capital, and growth.

  • Castles and Palaces on the Romantic Rhine
    Castles and Palaces on the Romantic Rhine Legendary! On the romantic Rhine, there is a castle landscape which is unique in its density and variety. Between Bingen and Rüdesheim in the south and the Siebengebirge (Seven Hills) in the north, mediaeval knights’ castles, pretty Baroque palaces and impressive fortifi cations unite to make up a unique cultural landscape. The va- riety of the buildings from various epochs is impressive: in this respect, some castles served to levy customs and were therefore important income sources for those in power. Other buildings on the other hand were constructed as safeguards against neighbouring archbishoprics or electorates and yet others fulfi lled purely representative functions. How the scores of castles and palaces on the romantic Rhine appear today could also hardly be more varied. Some of them have remained preserved over the centuries through elaborate restoration and accommodate restaurants, hotels or museums. Others radiate the mystic charm of (almost) crumbled ruins and one can only divine how many wars and revolts they have seen come and go. The count- less palaces, castles and ruins can be ideally experienced on foot, by bike or by ship on the Rhine and in the secondary valleys of the Rhine valley. The historical showpieces and weathered monuments are often linked by hiking paths. And it’s all the same whether they’re in ruined or restored condition: adventurous legends, often based on true facts, are entwined around many of the historical walls... it’s simply legendary! www.romantischer-rhein.de Mäuseturm (Mouse Tower), Bingen Klopp Castle, Bingen The Mouse Tower in Binger Loch is located on an inacces- Klopp Castle, founded in the middle of the 13th century by sible island and is, next to Pfalzgrafenstein Castle, the only the Archbishop of Mainz, Siegfried III, in Bingen, secured the defence tower and watch tower in the middle of the Rhine.
