King's Sister – Queen of Dissent: Marguerite of Navarre (1492-1549) and her Evangelical Network (set 2 volumes)
This study reconstructs for the first time Marguerite of Navarre’s leadership of a broad circle of nobles, prelates, humanist authors, and commoners, who sought to advance the reform of the French church along evangelical (Protestant) lines. Hitherto misunderstood in scholarship, they are revealed to have pursued, despite persecution, a consistent reform program from the Meaux experiment to the end of Francis I’s reign through a variety of means: fostering local church reform, publishing a large corpus of religious literature, high-profile public preaching, and attempting to shape the direction of royal policy. Their distinctive doctrines, relations with major reformers – including their erstwhile colleague Calvin – involvement in major Reformation events, and the impact of their unsuccessful attempt are all explored.

Elisabeth Lonicer
In einer Zeitreise in das 17. Jahrhundert werden drei Stränge miteinander verflochten: ein familiärer, ein geschichtlicher und ein religiöser. Die Familie Elisabeth Lonicers - Urenkelin von Professor Johannes Lonicerus (1499-1569), einem Mitbruder, Schüler und Freund Martin Luthers - lebte im westfälischen Herford, damals eine freie Reichsstadt, die auch eine reichsfreie Fürstabtei umschloss. Die Zeiten waren außerordentlich bewegt, vor allem geprägt vom Dreißigjährigen Krieg und seinen Nachwehen. Zu den Auslösern der kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen gehörte, dass Martin Luthers Reformation von 1517 inzwischen zum Spielball europäischer Machtpolitik geworden war. Katholische u...
Peace, Order And the Glory of God

Language and Learning in Renaissance Italy
Language was the Italian humanists’ stock-in-trade, rhetoric their core discipline. In this volume Professor Monfasani collects together his most important articles on these subjects. One group of these, including two review essays, focuses specifically on the humanist Lorenzo Valla and on his philosophy of language. The third section of the book opens out the coverage of Italian Renaissance cultural history and includes studies of several new texts - among them a description of the decoration of the Sistine Chapel, and a call for press censorship - and of the religious culture of mid-15th-century Rome. Le langage était l’instrumet de base des humanistes italiens, la rhétorique leur di...

The Poetic Works of Helius Eobanus Hessus
In this volume, Eobanus Hessus turns from passionate Erasmian into staunch defender of Luther, only to find himself caught in the no-man’s-land between the two titans. Under Erasmus’ spell, he writes "Itinerary of My Journey to Erasmus," "On the Restoration of Studies at Erfurt," epigrams against Edward Lee, and "Short Preface to the 'Enchiridion.'" Changing course in 1521, he publishes "Elegies in Praise and Defense of Luther" and "Letter of the Afflicted Church to Luther." Thereafter, amid tumults and academic collapse, he battles the radical preachers in "Some Letters of Illustrious Men Concerning the More Humane Studies" and "Three Dialogues." Two elegies serve as intermezzos: a "Consolation" to the imprisoned William of Brunswick and a patriotic "Invective" against Johannes Dantiscus.
