The Library of Lausanne Academy in the 16th Century: The Theological Corpus, from the Reformation to Early Orthodoxy
No full textIn 1537, the first theology courses in Lausanne were dispensed in order to form what would become the Lausanne Academy in the 1540s. That same year, books started to be acquired in order to form an academic library, constituting a tool for the professorial and ministerial personnel in Lausanne. At the end of the sixteenth century, all the books in the library of the Academy received ex-libris. Preserved at the Bibliothèque Cantonale Universitaire de Lausanne, these books were classified in a catalogue of 578 titles. Thus, this reconstituted the sixteenth century academic library. Its study—here focusing on the theological titles in particular—sheds light on the diachronic intellectual climate surrounding the Lausanne Academy, such as confessionalization, the shift of the emphasis from humanism to scholasticism, and the consequences of intra and extra-Protestant polemics.In 1537, the first theology courses in Lausanne were dispensed in order to form what would become the Lausanne Academy in the 1540s.

Die Zürcher Hexenprozesse und die Reformatoren
No full textIn the archives in Zurich, there are 230 sorcery trials during 1570 and 1630, among which 80 trials are death sentences. During 1521 and 1531, when Zwingli’s opinion was of dominant importance, only one witch was sentenced under a particular circumstance. Zwingli never addressed contemporary magic, sorcery, or the pact with the devil, which were the main accusations that the witches were blamed for. He even avoided speaking of witches in his exegesis of Exodus 22:17 (18). Bullinger was less reserved. He certainly believed in witchcraft, blamed witches of the pact with the devil, and called for death sentences. However, though he had already discussed sorcery in his Decades in the middle of the sixteenth century, only twenty years later, the number of sorcery trials increased in Zurich, while the fear of demonic attacks caused many witch hunts in the Little Ice Age all over Europe.In the archives in Zurich, there are 230 sorcery trials during 1570 and 1630, among which 80 trials are death sentences.

Der Testamentsbegriff bei Zwingli und Luther – oder warum Luther kein Bundestheologe wurde
No full textZwingli’s covenant-theological departure from Luther has been explained by previous research through a different definition of the term testament or testamentum, given by the Reformer as a result of a dissimilar legal context. Accordingly, Luther understood “testament” as a unilateral contract from a Latin perspective, while Zwingli apprehended the term in bilateral terms from a German perspective. This essay refutes this explanation and shows that Luther and Zwingli used the term “testament” in similar ways. However, the meaning given to the “testament” in their interpretations of the words of institution differed radically. While Luther equated the Lord’s Supper with the testament as such and renamed it as “promise,” Zwingli’s commemorative understanding of the Lord’s Supper associated the “testament” with the historical crucifixion. The redemptive-historical approach of the Zurich Reformer to Christ’s testament versus Luther’s sacramental approach is seen instead as a fundamental factor of Zwingli’s covenant-theological development, which is what this essay finally argues.Zwingli’s covenant-theological departure from Luther has been explained by previous research through a different definition of the term testament or testamentum, given by the Reformer as a result of a dissimilar legal context.
