Deel 16. Brieven 2204-2356 (vert. Tineke L. ter Meer). Ad. Donker, Rotterdam 2018 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/eras001corr17_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. 9 Inleiding Erasmus van augustus 1529 t/m juli 1530 Uit de periode 9 augustus 1529 tot en met 31 juli 1530 zijn 156 brieven van en aan Erasmus bekend. De vorm waarin ze zijn overgeleverd varieert van een geautoriseerde gedrukte versie tot een rommelig kladje vol doorhalingen. Tot die laatste categorie horen elf brieven van de jurist Bonifacius Amerbach, hoogleraar aan de universiteit van Bazel. Van Erasmus ontving hij in deze periode eenzelfde aantal eigenhandig geschreven brieven en nog twee waarvan alleen kopieën bekend zijn. Al deze brieven dragen het karakter van privé-correspondentie. Dat laatste geldt bij uitstek voor hun brieven over Erasmius Froben, de jongste zoon van de overleden drukker Johann Froben en petekind van Erasmus. De ongeveer vijftienjarige jongen had enige tijd bij zijn peetvader in Freiburg doorgebracht en was vervolgens door zijn beduidend oudere halfbroer Hieronymus weer meegenomen naar Bazel. Blijkbaar liepen de meningen uiteen hoe de verdere opleiding van Erasmius eruit moest zien. Erasmus ziet hem het liefst in Leuven studeren, maar de familie heeft daar andere gedachten over. Helemaal zeker van zijn zaak is ook Erasmus zelf niet. Terug in Bazel laat de jongen niets van zich horen en blijkens brief 2229 had hij een briefje dat de grote geleerde aan hem had geschreven in Freiburg laten liggen.

The elevation of history in status and signi‹- cance, the expansion of the scope and methods of history, and the related (but distinct) growth of antiquarianism are among the most striking—and recently among the best studied—features of the humanist culture of that period.

  • Renaissance and Reformation, 1993
    ^ Unica Oblatio Christi: Eucharistie Sacrifice and the first Zurich Disputation KEITH D. LEWIS S ummary: The First Zurich Disputation (January 29th, 1523) between Ulrich Zwingli and Johann Faber was the earliest Reformation-era public debate of the doctrine of the eucharistie sacrifice. While Zwingli was at an early and relatively fluid stage in his rejection of eucharistie sacrifice, Faber's defense employed not only traditional scholastic sources but other authoritative supports previously unused in the defense of doctrine. Never- theless, the polemical atmosphere of the exchange between the two both during and after the disputation precluded true clarity andpotential common ground on this issue. For ten long years, our opponents have written many books asserting that the mass is a sacrifice, and yet not one of them has defined what sacrifice is or is not [Philip Melanchthon, Apologia Confessionis XXIV, XII, 15 (1531)]. The fact that Swiss reformer Ulrich Zwingli rejected any notion of eucharistie sacrifice and insisted on a strictly anamnetic eucharist early-on in his emer- gence as a reformer, is well-known. Yet for all that has been written concerning Zwingli' s eucharistie theology,^ surprisingly little attention has been paid to the actual circumstances of his initial rejection of the doctrine of eucharistie sacrifice in the theological context of the First Zurich Disputation of January 29th, 1523, during which the vicar-general of the diocese of Constance Johann Faber ( 1478-1541) emerged as an impromptu and reluctant debating opponent to ZwingH, with whom Faber had been on friendly terms. This is especially surprising, when one considers that the Zurich meeting appears to have been the first public debate in the sixteenth century between a controversial theologian and a major reformation personality concerning the doctrine of eucharistie sacrifice.

Natural desiderio di sapere. Roma barocca fra vecchi e nuovi mondi. La corte dei papi 31. Rome: Viella, 2019. Pp. 476 + 32 ill. ISBN 978-8-8331- 3233-4 (paperback) €49. Sabina Brevaglieri’s book Natural desiderio di sapere. Roma barocca fra vecchi e nuovi mondi is an original and welcome addition to scholarship which brings together work on the history of science and medicine, art patronage, scholarly networks, cultural diplomacy, and urban history. Her impressive evocation of the intellectual fervour in Rome in the first half of the seventeenth century, which saw the creation of the Accademia dei lincei in 1603 by Federico Cesi and the presence in Rome of key European intellectuals, makes the city come alive. Readers are treated to a riveting depiction of the city and the learned players involved in sharing and disputing ideas and circulating new knowledge about the Asian and American worlds. The protagonists are at once the Eternal City itself, at the time a key centre of exchange and mediation, and the botanists, physicians, mathematicians, philosophers, artists, and scientists who lived there. The result is a vivid glimpse into the dynamics that brought them together in the space of a few decades especially propitious for intellectual discovery and exchange. Organized in six chapters, the book is dense and full of detail while at the same time highly readable and accessible to those who are not grounded in the history of science or medicine.

Yet in some ways his influence is even more important than the other two. That is certainly true in the area of “faith only.” He was clearly the first to espouse the view that the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist had nothing to do with salvation.

  • Balthasar Hubmaier's Sword
    Balthasar Hubmaier’s Sword: A Circumstantial Development by Rudolph Henry Wiens A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo and Conrad Grebel University College in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Theological Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 © Rudolph Henry Wiens 2010 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made available electronically to the public. ii Abstract The sixteenth century Bavarian Anabaptist, Balthasar Hubmaier (ca. 1480-1528), has had a disputed role in Anabaptist historiography ever since his martyrdom in March, 1528. On the one hand he is known as the most erudite and prolific writer of the early Anabaptists, and on the other he has been separated from the original Zurich Brethren by his rejection of two major principles, total separation from the world and absolute non- resistance, that were supposedly held unanimously by the Zurich Brethren. Today Hubmaier’s reputation for militancy has been endorsed by most writers, but this militancy is not expressed in any of his writings except On the Sword, the last tract written before his death. Using the well-documented biography of Hubmaier by Bergsten and his own writings collected and translated by Pipkin and Yoder, the thesis explores the question of the extent to which Hubmaier was willing to advocate the use of lethal force by government or against government. It is found that only one source, Johann Faber, accused Hubmaier of inciting peasant revolt , and that witness would seem dubious by any modern standard.
