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.

  • 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.

  • All in the Family: Creating a Carolingian Genealogy in the Eleventh Century*
    All in the family: creating a Carolingian genealogy in the eleventh century* Sarah Greer The genre of genealogical texts experienced a transformation across the tenth century. Genealogical writing had always been a part of the Judeo-Christian tradition, but the vast majority of extant genealogies from the continent before the year 1000 are preserved in narrative form, a literary account of the progression from one generation to another. There were plenty of biblical models for this kind of genealogy; the book of Genesis is explicitly structured as a genealogy tracing the generations that descended from Adam and Eve down to Joseph.1 Early medieval authors could directly imitate this biblical structure: the opening sections of Thegan’s Deeds of Louis the Pious, for example, traced the begetting of Charlemagne from St Arnulf; in England, Asser provided a similarly shaped presentation of the genealogia of King Alfred.2 In the late tenth/early eleventh century, however, secular genealogical texts witnessed an explosion of interest. Genealogies of kings began to make their way into narrative historiographical texts with much greater regularity, shaping the way that those histories themselves were structured.3 The number of textual genealogies that were written down increased exponentially and began to move outside of the royal family to include genealogies of noble families in the West Frankish kingdoms and Lotharingia.4 Perhaps most remarkable though, is that these narrative genealogies began – for the first time – to be supplemented by new diagrammatic forms. The first extant genealogical tables of royal and noble families that we possess date from exactly this period, the late tenth and eleventh centuries.5 The earliest forms of these diagrams were relatively plain.
