This monograph examines the rise of the Wittenberg printing industry and analyses how it overtook the Empire’s leading print centres.
Reading Catechisms, Teaching Religion makes two broad arguments. First, the sixteenth century witnessed a fundamental transformation in Christians’, Catholic and Evangelical, conceptualization of the nature of knowledge of Christianity and the media through which that knowledge was articulated and communicated. Christians had shared a sense that knowledge might come through visions, images, liturgy; catechisms taught that knowledge of ‘Christianity’ began with texts printed on a page. Second, codicil catechisms sought not simply to dissolve the material distinction between codex and person, but to teach catechumens to see specific words together as texts. The pages of catechisms were visual—they confound precisely that constructed modern bipolarity, word/image, or, conversely, that modern bipolarity obscures what sixteenth-century catechisms sought to do.
This volume offers an expansive survey of the role of single-sheet publishing in the European print industry during the first two centuries after the invention of printing. Drawing on new materials made available during the compilation of the Universal Short Title Catalogue, the twenty contributors explore the extraordinary range of broadsheet publishing and its contribution to government, pedagogy, religious devotion and entertainment culture. Long disregarded as ephemera or cheap print, broadsheets emerge both as a crucial communication medium and an essential underpinning of the economics of the publishing industry.
Information Technology professionals can use this book to move beyond the excitement of web services and service oriented architecture (SOA) and begin the process of finding actionable ideas to innovate and create business value.

Das Jahr 1634 stellte für die kleine Reichsstadt Giengen eine Zäsur dar, denn nach der großen Schlacht bei Nördlingen brannte am 5. September die ganze Stadt nieder, bis auf vier kleine Häuser. Die gesamte Einwohnerschaft war vor und während des Brandes geflohen, größtenteils nach Ulm, aber auch in andere Orte (bis nach Straßburg). Wie viele beim Brand und der vorhergehenden kaiserlichen Besatzung starben, ist unbekannt. In dieser Reihe sollen vornehmlich diejenigen Familien vorgestellt werden, die vor dem Brand in Giengen ansässig waren. Die Nachkommenlisten sind Ausflüsse meiner Forschungstätigkeit, die sich vornehmlich auf die im Evangelischen Pfarrarchiv Giengen befindlichen Kirchenbücher beziehen. Darüber hinaus wurde die einschlägige Literatur genutzt. Die hier vorgestellte Nachkommenliste beginnt im 16. Jahrhundert mit Ulrich Braun, Zinngießer und Bürgermeister in Giengen, und reicht über 11 Generationen.
