Opis

The irenical tract De officio pii viri (1561) by Georgius Cassander (1513-1566), its reception and its reprints highlight 16th-century erasmian humanist efforts for Church reunification in the Age of Reformation. Two contemporary translations, one in German by Georg von Cell and one in French by Jean Hotman, show us how De officio pii viri was adapted to the ongoing struggle for church peace in different parts of Europe.

Recenzje

"In sum, the whole book is a wellproduced and valuable source for advanced students and researchers working on the Reformations; it includes detailed footnotes and a bibliography."
Elizabeth Tingle in: Journal of Ecclesiastical History 69 (2018), 173-174

"Ein Grundlagenwerk für alle, die über die Konflikt- und die Friedenspotentiale religiöser Wahrheitsbehauptungen in der Geschichte reflektieren und sich für Zwischentöne jenseits der konfessionellen ,Mainstreams' in der europäischen Frühneuzeit interessieren."
Peter Arnold Heuser in: Rheinische Vierteljahrsblätter 81 (2017), S. 331
