125 Jahre Zwingliverein: Eine «freie Vereinigung von Männern» – Zur Vorgeschichte und Gründungsmotivation des Zwinglivereins von 1872–1897
No full textThe Zwingli Association celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. In 1897, the founding fathers of the association explicitly referred to a Zwingli exhibition in January 1884 on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Huldrych Zwingli’s birthday. However, the dedication of a Zwingli monument was planned for this date. But this ceremony did not take place until 1885, one and a half years later than originally intended. This article explores the question of how the Zwingli monument and its genesis are connected to the Zwingli exhibition of 1884. Which circles and their specific national or ecclesiastical-theological interests were involved in the process of finding the monument? Special attention is paid to the process of choosing between the Zwingli models made by the sculptors Ferdinand Schlöth and Heinrich Natter in the “Concours.” How come today Zurich is a “weighted Zwingli,” as Alexander Schweizer expressed his disappointment at the selection process? The Zwingli monument and its possible theological-historical impact are also discussed. The book concludes with a look at the Zwingli museum of 1897, from which today’s Zwingli Association has evolved.The Zwingli Association celebrates its 125th anniversary this year.

Zurich and Trent Viewed Especially Through Bullinger: In Particular, His Ecclesias evangelicas (1552)
No full textAs Antistes of Zurich, Heinrich Bullinger took the initiative to preach as well as to write critically and incisively about the Council of Trent both for the ministers and the political leaders of Zurich. For more than ten years he preached or wrote on the value, or otherwise, of church councils and of Trent, in particular. His Ecclesias evangelicas written for George I reveals his rhetorical skills as he sought to convince and encourage him to embrace the faith of the evangelical churches in the face of the tradition and teaching of Rome inter alia concerning Scripture, the papacy, salvation, tradition and the sacraments.As Antistes of Zurich, Heinrich Bullinger took the initiative to preach as well as to write critically and incisively about the Council of Trent both for the ministers and the political leaders of Zurich.

Katholische Kuriositäten: Aufarbeitung der Bedeutung und Funktion von Kuriositäten mit katholischem Hintergrund in der frühen Neuzeit, anhand der Sammlung der Bürgerbibliothek im reformierten Winterthur
No full textThis article presents an inquiry into the topic of catholic coded curiosities in protestant owned curiosity collections in the early modern period. The specific object of this investigation is the curiosity collections of the Library of Winterthur in Switzerland during the 17th and 18th century. This collection contained several objects of catholic origins, which didn\u27t seem to distinguish themselves threw rarity, exoticism or value, like other curiosities typically would. Therefore, the question arose why these objects were part of the collection. This article tries to answer this question by the following argumentation: The protestant reformation brought with it a new ethos of education. Literacy and learning were promoted, so the believers could read and understand the bible. This new ethos, which saw education as a religious good, also led to the founding of libraries in many protestant cities. This reframes the catholic objects. If the library is seen as a place of education closely tied to religious goals, the catholic objects appear as part of the protestant educational project. Therefore, the catholic curiosities can be understood as pedagogical tools to teach the protestant citizens about the “false” teachings of catholicism as well as the history of the reformation.This article presents an inquiry into the topic of catholic coded curiosities in protestant owned curiosity collections in the early modern period.
