ISBN: 9780674758452 / Angielski / Twarda / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many historians have attempted to understand the violent religious conflicts of the seventeenth century from viewpoints dominated by concepts of class, gender, and demography. But few studies have explored the cultural process whereby religious symbolism created social cohesion and political allegiance. This book examines religious conflict in the parish communities of early modern England using an interdisciplinary approach that includes all these perspectives. Daniel Beaver studies the urban parish of Tewkesbury and six rural parishes in its hinterland over a period of one hundred...

Pre-Reformation Religious Dissent in The Netherlands, 1518-1530
ISBN: 9780761835264 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although much of Protestant Reformation history focuses on movements in Germany, Switzerland, and France, during the 16th Century the Netherlands was the site of some of the earliest instances of pre-reformation religious dissent. During the 1520s, no "figurehead" led the movement in the Netherlands; instead six theological tracts by six individual scholars voiced religious dissent. These dissenting theological ideas were based on either Northern Renaissance or Biblical Humanist scholarship--most notably Erasmus--or the writing and monastic students of Martin Luther. These tracts emphasized...

Agents of Empire: Spanish Ambassadors in Sixteenth-Century Italy
ISBN: 9780801443527 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Historians have long held that during the decades from the end of the Habsburg-Valois Wars in 1559 until the outbreak in 1618 of the Thirty Years' War, Spanish domination of Italy was so complete that one can refer to the period as a "pax hispanica." In this book, based on extensive research in the papers of the ambassadors who represented Charles V and Philip II, Michael J. Levin instead reveals the true fragility of Spanish control and the ambiguous nature of its impact on Italian political and cultural life.While exploring the nature and weaknesses of Spanish imperialism in the sixteenth...

Mary Queen of Scots and French Public Opinion, 1542-1600
ISBN: 9781403920393 / Angielski / Twarda / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The French Wars of Religion were more than a battle for outright military victory. They were also a battle for the hearts and minds of the population of France. In this struggle to win over public opinion, often apparently peripheral issues could be engaged to make partisan points. Such was the case with the polemical literature surrounding Mary Queen of Scots. Based on major new bibliographic research, this study charts the evolving relationship between Mary and French public opinion.

"The purpose of this study," writes the author, "is to take a new and hard look at Olevianus' doctrine of covenant and to determine its place in the larger picture of sixteenth-century thought." Bierma analyses all of Olevianus' work on covenant and challenges the notion that Olevianus was the first to use the covenant idea as the organizing principle of his theology.

Francisco Gomez de Sandoval, Duke of Lerma (1553-1625), served Philip III...

In this first comprehensive study of the effect of Lucretius's De rerum natura on Florentine thought in the Renaissance, Alison Brown demonstrates how Lucretius was used by Florentine thinkers--earlier and more widely than has been supposed--to provide a radical critique of prevailing orthodoxies. To answer the question of why ordinary Florentines were drawn to this recently discovered text, despite its threat to orthodox Christian belief, Brown tracks interest in it through three humanists--the most famous of whom was Machiavelli--all working not as philologists but as...
