The Architectural Guides from the tried and trusted Reimer Verlag series are readable, clearly set out and in a handy format. For all their brevity, the texts are informative and critical, a considerable achievement. These guides do not only line out the more or less famous ensembles, places, and buildings but also lead the way to little-known treasures, details, inner courts and gardens. The buildings are documented with informative texts, up-to-date photos, and ground plans. The layout according to tours of city districts, maps and detailed indices make orientation easy, even for strangers to the city.

This book examines the multifaceted reactions of political and religious leaders to the Anabaptist reign in Münster (1534-1535). It takes as its point of departure Protestant Strasbourg, Catholic Cologne, as well as the Rhineland, and then broadens the perspective to imperial estates and the empire. The author analyzes the representations of the Münsterites and juxtaposes the fierce language with the actions that were taken to eliminate the Anabaptist menace at home and in Münster. The book is particularly important for scholars of Catholic Reform, of the empire and of confessionalization, of Cologne and Strasbourg, and of Anabaptism.
