  • Bernese Anabaptist History: a Short Chronological Outline (Jura Infos in Blue!)
    Bernese Anabaptist History: a short chronological outline (Jura infos in blue!) 1525ff Throughout Europe: Emergence of various Anabaptist groups from a radical reformation context. Gradual diversification and development in different directions: Swiss Brethren (Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria), Hutterites (Moravia), Mennonites [Doopsgezinde] (Netherlands, Northern Germany), etc. First appearance of Anabaptists in Bern soon after 1525. Anabaptists emphasized increasingly: Freedom of choice concerning beliefs and church membership: Rejection of infant baptism, and practice of “believers baptism” (baptism upon confession of faith) Founding of congregations independent of civil authority Refusal to swear oaths and to do military service “Fruits of repentance”—visible evidence of beliefs 1528 Coinciding with the establishment of the Reformation in Bern, a systematic persecution of Anabaptists begins, which leads to their flight and migration into rural areas. Immediate execution ordered for re-baptized Anabaptists who will not recant (Jan. 1528). 1529 First executions in Bern (Hans Seckler and Hans Treyer from Lausen [Basel] and Heini Seiler from Aarau) 1530 First execution of a native Bernese Anabaptist: Konrad Eichacher of Steffisburg. 1531 After a first official 3-day Disputation in Bern with reformed theologians, well-known and successful Anabaptist minister Hans Pfistermeyer recants. New mandate moderates punishment to banishment rather than immediate execution. An expelled person who returns faces first dunking, and if returning a second time, death by drowning . 1532 Anabaptist and Reformed theologians meet for several days in Zofingen: Second Disputation. Both sides declare a victory. 1533 Further temporary moderation of anti-Anabaptist measures: Anabaptists who keep quiet are tolerated, and even if they do not, they no longer face banishment, dunking or execution, but are imprisoned for life at their own expense.

Ce travail a obtenu Le Prix des Thèses 1976 de la Société Jurassienne d'Emulation. IV RESUME Une cluse jurassienne caractéristique, celle du Pichoux, est étudiée sous divers aspects. La localisation de la cluse dans l'anticlinal de Raimeux dépend en premier lieu d'un ensellement- d'axe au toit de l'imperméable oxfordien, ainsi que d'un relais axial dans le coeur de Dogger. Les systèmes de fissuration, principalement les deux sys­ tèmes cisaillants dextre et sénestre, ont fourni la trame sur laquel­ le s'est imprimée la cluse. Hydrogéologiquement, celle-ci fait office de niveau de base karstique pour de vastes territoires situés surtout à l'W ("bordure orientale des Franches-Montagnes). La principale sour­ ce karstique qui y jaillit est celle de Blanches Fontaines: surface du bassin 48,8 km^; débit moyen annuel 1,25 m3/sec; valeur moyenne de l'ablation karstique totale: 0,082 mm/an.

  • Helvetia Philatelic Society Newsletter
    UDC 656.835 (494) ISSN 0951-0001 HELVETIA PHILATELIC SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Founded in 1946 by Edward H Spiro Honorary President Tony Hoyle Honorary Secretary Peter Vonwiller 13 Pulpit Close CHESHAM Buckinghamshire HP5 2RZ Tel. +44 (0)1494 782472 Honorary Editor Peter Hobbs Six Tyning End Widcombe BA2 6AN Tel. +44 (0)1225 310971 No. 1 January 2007 On reading Fred Pickard's erudite comments in the December newsletter, answering a query concerning the 1936 Landscape issue, I was reminded of the situation regarding the 1949 issue. Printing started in May of that year, and in the case of the 20c value, printing was halted after 18,000 sheets of 50 stamps had been printed; it was decided that the appearance of the stamp was not satisfactory. A new die was prepared and printing recommenced, some 1,558,240,000 being eventually produced; the original 18,000 sheets were not destroyed however, they were issued to Post Offices along with those of the later printing (die 2). The differences between the two dies, was not discovered until late in 1951. Obviously large quantities of the Die 2 stamp were printed before the first day of issue, consequently there was plenty of scope for printing errors to have occurred. I have a block of four stamps, with a first day cancel, which shows blotches of colour, which are not uncommon in stamps with much later cancellations. Whilst looking at the first day of issue blocks, I discovered error in the 25c value; this was not due to faulty printing, but was caused by a scratch in the printing plate, which creates a straight line of colour, not unlike a tall post, rising from the road across the Melide dam, directly above the letter L in Helvetia.(see illustration) Zumstein lists this error under Z302 pfl ; I had previously seen exactly the same fault in a single stamp, unfortunately undated, and I also have a stamp with a similar fault, but in this case directly above the E in Helvetia.
