The Three Maries pamphlets published in Paris by the celebrated humanist scholar Jacques Lefèvre d'Etaples appeared between 1517 and 1519, and are virtually his only venture into independent authorship. These four short Latin texts investigated the traditions of the Magdalen and the sisters of the Virgin, and the calculation of the triduum , or three days and nights between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Written in a spirit of profound piety, they nevertheless challenged notions of authority and powerful established devotional cults, at the very moment when Luther was mounting his own challenge to orthodoxy, and gave rise to a high-profile controversy which anticipated the response to Luther. This edition presents Lefèvre's Latin texts together with an English translation and an extensive introduction which situates the controversy in its contemporary cultural context, and thus throws new light on Lefèvre's exegesis and his distinctive Christian humanism. Latin and English text.
Le grand éditeur et exégète humaniste, Jacques Lefèvre d'Etaples, publia de 1517 à 1519 quatre opuscules connus sous le titre des Trois Marie. Parus au moment même de l'émergence de la Réforme luthérienne, vite assimilés - à tort - à la lutte déjà entamée entre novateurs et conservateurs, mais déclenchant à leur tour une querelle célèbre où s'ébauchent les grandes lignes de la campagne antiluthérienne, ces écrits - les seuls qu'il ait publiés comme auteur - définissent la pensée de Lefèvre. En traitant, au nom de la piété et d'une lecture éclairée des textes sacrés, de la question de l'identité de la Madeleine et de la véracité d'une tradition qui fit des s...
Though ranked with Erasmus as one of the leading scholars of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples has not received the scholarly attention due to a man of his intellectual stature and spiritual influence. Author has drawn on the original works and letters of Lefevre and his contemporaries in the ecclesiastical renewal movements in France and his influence on the thought of the Reformers. Hughes traces the transition from Lefevre's early career in philosophical and speculative studies to his single-minded concentration on scriptural exegesis and translation of the Bible into French. He presents in great detail the progression of Lefevre's thought, which blazed the trail that led from the Renaissance to the Reformation" -- From back cover.
Making Mathematical Culture analyses the rise of the printed book and how it contributed to the growing profile of mathematics in Europe. Using student manuscripts and annotated books, this volume offers a new account of how printing shaped one of the fastest-growing institutions of the early modern period, the university.
In the second decade of the sixteenth century medieval piety suddenly began to be attacked in some places as 'idolatry', or false religion. Wherever these ideas became accepted, churches were sacked, images smashed and burned, relics destroyed, and the Catholic Mass abolished. This study calls attention to the centrality of the idolatry issue for the Reformation. It traces the development of Protestant iconoclastic theology and practice, provides a survey and synthesis of its unfolding from Erasmus through Calvin, and lays a foundation for understanding the Reformed ideology that stood in conflict with Catholicism and Lutheranism. Professor Eire's main thesis is that the argument against 'idolatry' was central to Reformed Protestantism, both in its theological aspect and in its political ramifications, and that it reached its fullest and most enduring expression in Calvinism.

Reminding us that the Genevan Reformation does not begin and end with John Calvin, this book provides an introduction to Guillaume Farel (1489-1565), one of several important yet often overlooked French-speaking reformers. Born in 1489 near Gap, France, Farel was an important first-generation French-speaking Reformer and one of the most influential early leaders of the Reform movement in what is now French-speaking Switzerland. Educated in Paris, he slowly began to question Catholic orthodoxy, and by the 1520s was an active protestant preacher, resulting in his exile to Switzerland. Part of Farel's aggressive work in this area brought him to Geneva several times, where in 1535 and 1536 he se...
