Reformationsmandat für den Thurgau 1530
In 1530, Philipp Brunner, the governor in the dependent territory of Thurgau enacted a church ordinance introducing reform. Brunner did so by consent of Zurich, which was one of the governing states. However, the strong opposition of the other governing states, resting Catholic, made the ordinance ineffective, for the most part, and Thurgau remained bi-confessional. A short analysis of this church ordinance, critically edited here for the first time, is astonishing because only six of thirteen chapters are derived from the fundamental church ordinance of Zurich, enacted in 1530, while seven are excerpts of the Basle church ordinance of 1529. Since Zurich did not have a church ordinance covering all matters of interest, but Basle did, the two primary church ordinances from both cities were combined. Thus, the Thurgau Church Ordinance of 1530 is an early and important testimony to the effects and reception of the church ordinances from both cities
Zur Führungsrolle des Grauen Bundes und der Stadt Ilanz in der frühen Reformbewegung Graubündens
Of the seven crucial reform decrees written between 1523 and 1526 in the three free states of Graubunden, five were issued in Ilanz, and two in Chur. Ilanz, the first and only Romansch speaking city on the Rhine was the center of the Grey League and fostered a close relationship to Zwingli’s Zurich as well as with southern Germany. A school of writing developed in this location, whilst the chancery of the Grey League maintained from here diplomatic correspondences throughout Europe. The scholarly clerics and politicians trained in humanism prepared the official decrees that led to the breakthrough of the Reformation

Fritz Blanke – Lehrer und Forscher: Vortrag an der Mitgliederversammlung des Zwinglivereins 2012
In this address to the Zwingli Society in Zurich, Fritz Blanke (1900–1967) is remembered as a teacher and scholar, who educated several generations of Reformed theologians and historians, and set new standards for research as editor and commentator of Johann Georg Hamann and Huldrych Zwingli. Blanke made text come to life and reveal its relevance with utmost care and high erudition. It was essential to him that the text was elucidated whilst his personal ideas remained in the background. For this reason, his commentaries will remain indispensable
