Die Dignität des Ereignisses: Studien zu Heinrich Bullingers Reformationsgeschichtsschreibung (set 2 volumes)
The sources and applied work processes in Heinrich Bullinger’s Reformation History are analyzed in the context of the theological assumptions and methodological claims of Bullinger’s historiography, which are classified against the background of early modern humanist and confessional historiography. Die Studie untersucht die Bemühungen des Zürcher Reformators Heinrich Bullinger um eine historiographische Erfassung der Reformationszeit, die in dessen handschriftlichen »Reformationsgeschichte« kulminierten. Dieses Werk wird im Kontext der geschichtstheologischen Voraussetzungen Bullingers analysiert und historiographiegeschichtlich situiert.
Huldrych Zwingli‘s Private Library
The Swiss theologian Huldrych Zwingli (1484–1531) was one of the most prominent reformers and the founder of the Reformed Protestant Church in the Swiss Confederation. During the last hundred years more than 200 titles from his private library have been discovered. They give an interesting insight into his interests and sources. The present book contains not only an extensive introduction and a catalogue of these books and manuscripts, but also an inventory of the lost works possessed by Zwingli. They open the door to Zwingli’s study and to the intellectual world of an important reformer.
A New Approach to the History of Violence
On the basis of the example of sexualized violence in Zurich between 1500 and 1850, the study criticizes the reduction of violence to illegitimate physical harm and discusses how a history of interpersonal violence in pre-modern Europe could be further developed.
