PHILADELPHIA: COLLINS, PKINTER, 705 JAYNE STREET. 1881. INTRODUCTION. The collection of these volumes was prompted by a sentiment of filial regard for a Church of which my parents were members, and in which my earliest religious impressions were received. Various causes have contributed to render this collection less complete than I once hoped to make it. Books much desired are absorbed in Libraries, and rarely offered for sale. Of late years, too, more gleaners have entered this field of inquiry ; and distance from its more fertile portions has proved unfavorable to success. European Catalogues are, of necessity, the chief source of supply ; and frequently, before these reach us, others, favored by proximity, step in and secure coveted volumes. The claim of the Exiles from Salzburg to a place here is doubtful.. Eieger may, in his " Salzhurg Gottes," have erred in attributing the protestantism of Salzburg to Bohemia ; and yet the expatriation, in the winter of 1731-2, of more than twenty thousands of the inhabitants of so small a State for the sake of conscience, has special claims to notice, and does not read like so recent a chapter in the world's history. The last section, "Vakia," contains books which have no IV special reference to the Brethren. Some of them, however, are curious or rare, and are therefore retained; but many others, which have no such claim, are bound up with books or pamphlets necessary to the collection. In describing these volumes the printer's designation of the form, or size, has been usually followed ; although many of the German octavos of the last century would scarcely now rank as duodecimos. Some of the longer titles are abbreviated, but enough is still preserved to identify the book and its edition. In the paging of some books the preface and index are included, while in many others these are separately numbered ; but, except in a few cases of specially described books, I have uniformly counted and given the full number of pages, including both preface and index. In an Appendix to the Catalogue will be found a brief notice, from the '^Moravian" of the career of the Hussite leader Ziska; and a sketch of the history of the Bohemian Bible, together with a discussion of its claim to European priority. This was origi- nally a contribution to the " Transactions of the Moravian His- torical Society." Further research has enabled me to extend and correct it. To the " Universal Magazine," an English periodical of the last century, I owe a Report of the Debates in the British Par- liament on the Act of 22d of George II., Anno 1749, entitled " An Act for encouraging the People known by the name of the Unitas Fratrum, or United Brethren, to settle in his Majesty's Colonies in America." And to this I annex a copy of the Act. An abstract of the Magazine's Eeport appeared in the " Mes- senger," London, 1865, and supplies the names of several of the speakers ; the others are unknown, every name in the Report being fictitious or disguised. In these palmy days of the all but ubiquitous Reporter, it seems scarcely credible that under the second George the right to report proceedings of the Legislature was still unconceded to him, and that fine or imprisonment for breach of the privileges of Parlia- ment was only evaded by crediting (as the celebrated Dr. Johnson did) the proceedings to the Senate of Lilliput, and assigning fic- titious names to the speakers ! But such was the fact. Our frontispiece is a reduced copy of a fine engraving by Wolff from the picture of Holbein. It also exhibits a fac-simile of the handwriting of John Huss from an official entry made by him, as Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, in the Records of the Univer- sity of Prague, in the year 1401.

  • The Leibniz Review, Vol. 23, 2013 Brückenschläge: Daniel Ernst
    Brückenschläge: Daniel Ernst Jablonski im Europa der Frühaufklärung, ed. Hartmut Rudolph, et al. Dössel: Verlag Janos Stekovics, 2010. Pp. 439, numerous color plates. Reviewed by Patrick Riley, Harvard University n 2011, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy published, after a wait of 313 years, Leibniz’ great 1698 irenical treatise entitled Unvorgreiffliches Bedencken I(“Unprejudiced Thoughts”) on Lutheran-Calvinist re-unification (A IV, 7, pp. 462 ff.)—a work which the eminent Reformation-scholar Irena Backus has rightly called Leibniz most important contribution to philosophical theology before the 1710 Théodicée itself. (The Academy-edition offers, on facing pages, both the “First Version” of Unvorgreiffliches Bedencken—the radical, boldly anti- Cartesian, Calvin-doubting version—and the shorter, more diplomatic (but also less philosophically effective) “Final Version.”) Both versions of Leibniz’ Unvorgreiffliches Bedencken are responses to the so-called Kurtze Vorstellung (“Short Representation”) of Lutheran-Calvinist differences by the Calvinist preacher to the Prussian court in Berlin, Daniel Ernst Jablonski (Oxford-educated and broad-minded); the Kurtze Vorstellung (1697) was first published by Dr. Hartmut Rudolph (distinguished retired editor of Leibniz’ Politische Schriften) in a Sonderheft of Studia Leibnitiana, “Labora Diligenter,” in 1999. Now Hartmut Rudolph, the world’s leading authority on the Leibniz-Jablonski connection, has given us (together with two colleagues, J. Bahlcke and B. Dybas) a splendid large book on Jablonski as “bridge-builder,” linking not just Lutherans and Calvinists, but also Berlin and Hannover, Leibniz and Berlin intellectuals, and indeed all those who helped set up the Berlin Academy of Sciences at the dawn of the 18th century. Three of Brückenschläge’s best chapters are by Dr.

Grundlagen des Leibnizschen Akademiegedankens Es ist üblich, in der Historiographie des Akademiegedankens im 17. Jahrhun- dert auf die Utopien Johann Valentin Andreaes, Tommaso Campanellas und Francis Bacons zu verweisen, weil sie auf eine durchgreifende gesellschaft- liche Erneuerung zielten, die im Wesentlichen von Gelehrten, von Wissen- schaftlern, realisiert werden sollte2. Comenius, dessen Reformpläne nicht nur die Gründung der Londoner Royal Society beeinflusst haben, sondern der auch zur Vorgeschichte der brandenburg-preußischen wissenschaftlichen So- zietät zählt, kann als ein herausragender Repräsentant utopisch-chiliastischer Bestrebungen der Zeit im und nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg gelten. Es geht bei diesem Chiliasmus nicht um ein gegen die Obrigkeiten sich wen- dendes gewaltsames Errichten des Tausendjährigen Reiches Christi auf Er- den, sondern um einen „subtilen“ Chiliasmus, wie ihn Siegfried Wollgast mehrfach für die frühe Neuzeit beschrieben und vom „Chiliasmus crassus“ unterschieden hat3 und wie er uns auf der Bühne, die es hier zu betrachten gilt, etwa mit Philipp Jakob Spener begegnet, neben Daniel Ernst Jablonski einer führenden und einflussreichen Gestalt des kirchlichen Lebens in der Zeit der 1 Festvortrag am Leibniz-Tag 2008 der Leibniz-Sozietät der Wissenschaften zu Berlin am 26.

  • Daniel Ernst Jablonski: Ein Brückenbauer Im Europa Der Frühen Neuzeit
    HARTMUT RUDOLPH DANIEL ERNST JABLONSKI: EIN BRÜCKENBAUER IM EUROPA DER FRÜHEN NEUZEIT ABSTRACT: The biography of Daniel Ernst Jablonski (1660-1741), bishop of the Moravian Brethren in Poland and at the same time a most influential Prussian court preacher, reflects the relationships between East-, Central- and Western Europe during the Early Enlightenment. Both, his Grandfather, Jan Amos Comenius, and his father, were bishops of a church, which had been exiled from Czechia to Poland, where Daniel Ernst Jablonski was born. He studied in Frankfurt (Oder), and at the Christ Church College in Oxford, where he became friend with several prominent members of the Anglican Church. He was an outstanding member in the European respublica literaria in different fields, Orientalistic, i.e. Jewish and biblical studies, and he was highly esteemed as a scholar in Old Slav church history. These were good preconditions for making him a bridge builder between nations and ideas. Side by side with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) he worked at the foundation of the later-on famous Prussian Academy of Sciences and over decades he worked at the union of the separated Protestant churches. For his lifelong commitment to the religious tolerance and to the rights of religious minorities, along with his scientific work, he deserves to be considered a representative (if in a moderate way) of the European Enlightenment. SOMMARIO: Daniel Ernst Jablonski (1660-1741), vescovo dei fratelli moravi in Polonia fu uno dei più influenti predicatori di corte in Prussia e la sua biografia riflette le relazioni tra l’Europa centro-orientale e quella occidentale durante il primo Illuminismo.

  • Protestant Propaganda in a Cold War of Religion: from the Hartlib Circle to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge Sugiko Nishikawa
    LITHUANIAN historical STUDIES 16 2011 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 51–59 PROTESTANT PROPAGANDA IN A COLD War OF RELIGION: FROM THE HARTLIB CIRCLE TO THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE Sugiko Nishikawa ABSTRACT This article considers how, impelled by confessional divisions caused by the Reformation, a general sense of pan-Protestant community grew across Europe, and its members launched a long battle against Ro- man Catholicism far beyond the 16th century. Indeed, it continued into the mid-18th century, the so-called Age of Reason. If it cannot necessarily be described as an open war of religion like the Thirty Years War, it was at least a cold war. From their points of view, the Protestant minorities threat- ened by the Roman Catholic Counter Reformation, such as the Waldensi- ans in northern Italy and the Lithuanian Calvinists, stood on the front line in this war. Thus, financial support was regularly offered by the Protestant churches in Great Britain and Ireland to their distressed brethren across the continent, university scholarships were set up for students from Catholic- dominated areas, and plans were drafted for a Protestant union in Europe, from a military level to an ecclesiastical one. It is in this context that we must understand how apparently strange a phenomenon as British support for the translation of the Bible into Lithuanian developed. The author sees Chylinski’s activities in the tradition of learning and charity exhibited in the 1650s by the three leading members of the Hartlib philosophical circle, namely, Samuel Hartlib (originally from Elbing), Jan Amos Comenius (from Moravia), and John Dury (born in Edinburgh, he spent his early life in vari- ous places in northern Europe), who were, in a sense, Protestant refugees to England from north-central Europe.

  • English Attitudes Toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs C.1680-1740
    English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 By Sugiko Nishikawa A Dissertation for the degree of Ph. D. in the University of London 1998 B CL LO\D0 UNIV Abstract Title: English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 Author: Sugiko Nishikawa It has long been accepted that the Catholic threat posed by Louis X1V played an important role in English politics from the late seventeenth century onwards. The expansionist politics of Louis and his attempts to eliminate Protestants within his sphere of influence enhanced the sense of a general crisis of Protestantism in Europe. Moreover news of the persecution of foreign Protestants stimulated a great deal of anti-popish sentiment as well as a sense of the need for Protestant solidarity. The purpose of my studies is to explore how the English perceived the persecution of continental Protestants and to analyse what it meant for the English to be involved in various relief programmes for them from c. 1680 to 1740. Accordingly, I have examined the church briefs which were issued to raise contributions for the relief of continental Protestants, and which serve as evidence of Protestant internationalism against the perceived Catholic threat of the day. I have considered the spectrum of views concerning continental Protestants within the Church; in some attitudes evinced by clergymen, there was an element which might be called ecclesiastical imperialism rather than internationalism. At the same time I have examined laymen's attitudes; this investigation of the activities of the SPCK, one of the most influential voluntary societies of the day, which was closely concerned with continental Protestants, fulfills this purpose.

Rarely did a sojourn in Rome turn a devotee into a disillusioned rebel, with one exception: the famous case of the 1511 pilgrimage of a monk named Martin Luther. Another, less known, example was Teofan (Feofan) Prokopovych (1681–1736), a scion of a Kyivan merchant family who studied in the city between 1698 and 1701.

Er schreibt: Der Vorschlag des Präsidiums der Leibniz-Sozietät der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, für außerordentliche Verdienste neben der Leibniz-Medaille eine Daniel-Ernst-Jablonski-Medaille vorzusehen, ist sehr zu begrüßen. Niemandem anders wäre neben Leibniz diese Würdigung zuzubilligen. Dafür gibt es eine Reihe von Gründen: 1. Jablonski (1660-1741) war der wichtigste Mitbegründer der Brandenburgisch-preußischen Sozietät der Wissenschaften, zwischen 1711 und 1733 achtmal ihr Vizepräsident und ab 1733 bis zu seinem Tode ihr Präsident. 2. Die Gründungsurkunde der Sozietät ist maßgeblich von ihm ausgearbeitet worden, und ihm ist auch zu verdanken, dass der Kurfürst die Genehmigung erteilte. 3. Er ermöglichte als Berliner Hofprediger durch seine Nähe zum preußischen Monarchen das Überleben der Sozietät in schweren Zeiten, er verhinderte deren Entrechtung und drohende Vernichtung durch einen wissenschaftsfeindlichen Herrscher. 4. Er leitete von 1710 bis 1741 als Direktor die Philologisch-Orientalische Klasse der Sozietät. 5. Er war ein hervorragender Hebraist, unter den christlichen der führende seiner Zeit.
