Polymath of the Baroque
This is the first book to consider all aspects of the life of Agostino Steffani (1654-1728), a composer, diplomat, and bishop. A remarkable figure of the late 17th and early 18th century Europe, Steffani began his career as a composer, musician, and courtier, but his accomplishments brought him high-level positions in the courts of Germany and the Catholic Church. Throughout his diplomatic and ecclesiatical career, Steffani continued to compose chamber music, vocal chamber music, operas, and sacred music--works which inspired Handel and other Baroque composers.
Church Robbers and Reformers in Germany, 1525-1547

It reviews the character of sacred property in the late Middle Ages, surveys confiscations in Reformation Germany on illustrative examples, summarizes the League of Schmalkalden’s defense of confiscations, systematically studies theological memoranda that shaped a common policy in the League, and shows the role of that common position in religious politics.

Die Korrespondenz, die hier vollständig kritisch ediert wird, behandelt neben den Grundlagen der Mengenlehre auch eine Reihe klassischer philosophischer und theologischer Argumentationen mit dem Unendlichen; so zum Beispiel die in der Scholastik und Neuscholastik verbreiteten Argumente gegen die Ewigkeit der Welt, die oft mit der Unmög...
