Witchcraft in Europe, 400-1700
A thoroughly revised, greatly expanded edition of the most important documentary history of European witchcraft ever published.
Johannes Geiler von Kaysersberg (1445-1510)
Die jüngste Biographie Johannes Geilers ist über ein Jahrhundert alt; eine deutschsprachige über diese herausragende Persönlichkeit des 15. Jahrhunderts existiert nicht. Mit der vorliegenden Dissertation unternimmt Uwe Israel den Versuch, sich dem von König Maximilian I. zum Hofkaplan ernannten wortgewaltigen Prediger auf mehreren Wegen zu nähern.Lange galt Geiler als ›Reformator vor der Reformation‹. In einer ausführlichen Literaturbesprechung geht der Autor dieser anachronistischen Einschätzung nach und bewertet sie in ihrer historischen Bedingtheit. Bildungsweg, Lebensverhältnisse und Freundschaften zu Humanisten wie Jakob Wimpfeling und Sebastian Brant werden untersucht. Isr...

The Reformation of Faith in the Context of Late Medieval Theology and Piety
This book is the first major collection of articles by Berndt Hamm in English translation. The articles employ previously neglected sermons, devotional and pastoral treatises to reassess the question of continuity and change between late-medieval and Reformation theology and piety.
Reforming the Art of Dying
The Reformation led those who embraced Martin Luther's teachings to revise virtually every aspect of their faith and to reorder their daily lives in view of their new beliefs. Nowhere was this more true than with death. By the beginning of the sixteenth century the Medieval Church had established a sophisticated mechanism for dealing with death and its consequences. The Protestant reformers rejected this new mechanism. To fill the resulting gap and to offer comfort to the dying, they produced new liturgies, new church orders, and new handbooks on dying. This study focuses on the earliest of the Protestant handbooks, beginning with Luther's Sermon on Preparing to Die in 1519 and ending with J...
Weathering the Reformation
Weathering the Reformation explores the role of the Little Ice Age in early modern Christian culture and considers climate as a contributing factor in the Protestant Reform. The book focuses on religious narratives from Strasbourg between 1509 and 1541, pivotal years during which the European cultural concept of nature splintered along confessional differences. Together with case studies from antagonistic religious communities, Linnéa Rowlatt draws on annual weather reports for a period during which the climate became less hospitable to human endeavours. Social uunrest and the cultural upheaval of Reform are examined in relation to deteriorating climactic conditions characteristic of the Spörer Minimum. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of religious history and climate history.
Martin Luther
The three volumes present the current state of international research on Martin Luther’s life and work and the Reformation's manifold influences on history, churches, politics, culture, philosophy, arts and society up to the 21st century. The work is initiated by the Fondazione per le scienze religiose Giovanni XXIII (Bologna) in cooperation with the European network Refo500. This handbook is also available in German.
Continuity and Change: The Harvest of Late-Medieval and Reformation History
Offered here for the first time, a wide variety of specialists explore continuity and change in pre-modern Europe. Collectively, they contribute to the current historiographical debates about continuity and discontinuity between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era. The themes reflect eminent scholar Heiko A. Oberman’s vast range of interests in religious, cultural and political history across a broad chronological and conceptual spectrum that seeks to overcome the limits of the divide between Medieval and Early Modern History. Publications by Heiko A. Oberman: • Edited by Thomas A. Brady, Jr., Heiko A. Oberman, and James D. Tracy, Handbook of European History 1400-1600: Late Middle ...
