- Kurztext
- This revised and expanded volume brings together a carefully-selected collection of primary sources drawn from medieval and sixteenth-century texts. Particularly notable for its comprehensive coverage, it consolidates a broad range of important documents, which until now, have been scattered through numerous volumes of primary materials. These comprise not only the major institutional and theological writings of the time, but also popular expressions of religious and political grievances, including Flugschriften, poems, satires, sermons, as well as women's writings. The Sourcebook has been updated to include catechetical writings by Luther and Calvin, which illustrate these reformers' efforts to instill their religious beliefs, along with increased coverage of their theological writings. Also included are observer accounts of events and debates that lucidly depict the personalities of the reformers, offering students their first direct engagement with participants in the European reformations. In addition, it expands the coverage of women reformers, and now incorporates the writings of figures including Caritas Pirckheimer, Katharina Schütz-Zell, and Olimpia Morata. This invaluable sourcebook is an ideal accompaniment to Lindberg's The European Reformations, 2nd edition, or may be used alongside any text on the European reformations for a complete learning guide to this important and influential period.
