Die Rolle von Samuel Werenfels in Bezug auf die Milderung von konfessionellen Auseinandersetzungen im Königreich Ungarn im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts
No full textIn the 18th century, up until the issuance of the edict of toleration, the chance or reconciliation was more of a theoretical issue for the Protestant churches in Hungary, because with the Carolina Resolutio entering into force they were actually fighting for survival. In the given conditions the heads of these churches weren’t focusing on resolving the conflicts between them as they were facing the dangers of dissolution or re-catholicisation. However, in the early 18th century Basel-born theologian Samuel Werenfels thought it was possible for the Lutheran Church and the Reformed Church to unite, but he completely ruled out the possibility of cooperating with the Roman Catholic Church. In the present study I examine the role Werenfels played in the rapprochement between the Protestant churches of Hungary. Since in the 18th century nearly 200 Hungarian students studied in Basel, Werenfels had a great influence on the development of Hungary’s Reformed theology, which in fact most probably contributed to the Lutheran and Reformed churches for examining the possibilities of a religious union at the Buda and Pest synods in 1791
Heterodoxie und Ungehorsam: Eine lateinische Festrede Johann Rudolf Lavaters (1579–1625) aus dem Jahr 1623
No full textJohann Rudolf Lavater (1579–1625) shares in the common lot of several 17th century scholars: respected by their contemporaries and widely known in their own time, they have meanwhile fallen into almost total oblivion. The detection of an hitherto unknown manuscript in the Zurich Central Library, containing a Latin speech that Lavater delivered in 1623, affords now the opportunity to re-discover this interesting figure. The essay has a double focus: on one hand, it portrays Lavater’s life and career; on the other hand, it analyses the content of the speech, which Lavater composed in order to celebrate the recent failure of a conspiracy against Maurice of Orange (1567–1625), stadtholder of the Dutch Republic. The speech is revealing of the official attitude in Zurich regarding not only the recent controversy between Calvinists and Arminians in the Netherlands, but also concerning the more general issue of the relationship between Church and State. Because of the special interest of this source, a critical edition of Lavater’s speech is included
Das Schulmeisterschild für Myconius
No full textThe so-called schoolmaster’s shield by the Holbein brothers is shown to be a jocular goodbye present to Oswald Myconius. It appears to be an advertising board for a freelance German teacher, while actually Myconius is entering state-employment as a teacher of Latin in Zurich

Heinrich Bullinger als Kartäuser? Bullinger als Schüler und Lehrer
No full textThe Presider ("Antistes") of the Church of Zurich, Heinrich Bullinger (1531–1575) is considered as accomplished early. Having returned from his formation on the Lower Rhine at the age of 18, he had already turned to the Reformation, after having considered during his studies at Cologne to enter the eremitic order of the Charterhouse. This order was represented with notable houses in Cologne and Bâˆle, and thus notes about the last carthusian at Baˆ le, Thomas Kreß (Kreszi) are transmitted to Bullinger as late as 1545. In Emmerich, Bullinger enjoyed a humanistic education in Latin, which he passed on at a school of Latin instituted specifically for him in the monastery of Kappel in 1523. He held classes in continuous reading of the Bible, as should be the practice at the "Prophezey" instituted 1525 in Zurich, and read the Church Fathers. – Notable in this context is also the abolition of organs in the churches of Zurich from 1524 on for about 80 years; the Carthusians do not know organs in their churches to this day

Prädestination und Providenz: Eine Spurensuche im frühen Zürcher Pietismus
No full textDouble predestination, the dazzling concept of Calvinism, had tightened over time to become an orthodox dogma, stipulated by the Reformed Church of Zurich. The early Zurich pietists inevitably came into conflict with predestination as it proved to be incompatible with new, influential ideas from mysticism and spiritualism. They replaced it by "special providence". This rejection of strong theological determinism brought about a change in the history of mind and was a building block of Enlightenment. From the middle of the 18th century, double predestination was left to oblivion
