Descending from the heavens, it spreads its light and is welcomed by Minerva and Mercury, the gods of wisdom and dissemination. In all its Enlightenment idealism, Marchand’s emblem is at the heart of a longstanding, and to some extent still persistent discourse: that the invention of the printing press was an emancipating power, a bringer of light.1 It is therefore no coincidence that the second edition of Elizabeth Eisenstein’s seminal work Printing Revolution in Early Modern Europe used this captivating engraving as a frontispiece.2 If the invention of the printing press was, in Eisenstein’s famous phrase, an agent of change, that change has been perceived to be a largely positive, modernising force by many scholars writing long after Marchand.3 Print’s wide reach and persistence over time was conducive to standardisation, to cultural memory and to cross-cultural interchange on a previously unimaginable scale.4 It spurred the spread of literacy, allowed ordinary people to access different sources of information and gave permanence to radical ideas challenging conceived wisdom.

The text was based on a sermon Habel delivered on 4 January 1670, making it not only a revocation sermon, but also a New Years’ sermon (Neues Jahr / oder Revocation-Predigt).*,1 In it, he explained and justified his decision to leave behind the Catholic Church and to become a Lutheran. The sermon was reprinted six years after its first publication in a slightly altered version, with minor changes in the title and without a dedication. Apparently there was enough demand to merit printing this second version.2 Johann Georg, also called Georgi, one of the most prolific printers in Leipzig at the time, printed both texts. So far as we know, this was the only work by Habel that was printed, and little is known about him aside from the information in his sermon. Habel’s sermon had a plain title page, without any illustrations, border decorations or other visual markers (see figure 17.1). The text was divided into several sections, and key features of the text, like the title of the sermon and Habel’s name, were printed in a larger typeface, immediately drawing the reader’s eye to them. The title stressed that Habel had left Popery behind and found his way to the only true church – the Lutheran one. The sermon is dedicated to the pastors and consistory of Dresden, who were in charge of ensuring the orthodoxy of Saxon Lutheranism. They also would have been responsible for testing Habel when he first expressed his desire to convert to Lutheranism.","PeriodicalId":219728,"journal":{"name":"Print and Power in Early Modern Europe (1500–1800)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122155219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He was received in great style by the rector and its students, who delivered welcome addresses in different languages as part of the entertainment.2 A witness account of the day, published by the Jesuit Robert Parsons, related how the first student salutations were in Hebrew, Greek and Latin, all to the great enjoyment of the attendants.3 After these salutations, speeches followed in languages far less familiar to the Spanish court: English, Welsh and ‘Scotish’, a language that was ‘comonlie used in the courte and better parte of Stotland [sic]’ and was ‘not much different from the Inglis’.4 Perhaps overly conscious of how strange these languages might sound to Spanish listeners, Parsons added that the remarks were brief and accompanied by ample gesticulation. It suggests that this audience was more accustomed to Hebrew, Greek and Latin. One can find further confirmation in the Jesuit’s report, when he stated that just after the delivery of speeches in languages of the British Isles, deemed ‘barbarous and peregrine to spanish eates’, there followed ‘other three that were presupposed to be understood by all or the most parte of them that were present’.5 In this","PeriodicalId":219728,"journal":{"name":"Print and Power in Early Modern Europe (1500–1800)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126037803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using cheap formats like the broadside or the quarto pamphlet, publishing texts in both the high scholastic Latin of academic theology and in local vernaculars, and relying on images as well as text to convey their key points, Reformers and printers worked together to launch a momentous religious and social movement. Meanwhile, conventional wisdom has it, the papacy, the conservative and authoritarian institution on the receiving end of these printed critiques, stood by, unsure how to respond or unwilling to seize the same tools and engage in the same popularising discourse. This somewhat simplistic account (which I admit I have further simplified here) overlooks the fact that at the start of the sixteenth century, the Roman Catholic Church presided over the largest and most elaborate communication apparatus in the western world.3 The pope claimed spiritual jurisdiction over every Latin-rite Christian from Iceland to the Middle East and beyond; for","PeriodicalId":219728,"journal":{"name":"Print and Power in Early Modern Europe (1500–1800)","volume":"116 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114113491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of its struggle against the Reformation, the papacy developed a vast and centralised system of ecclesiastical censorship. While it failed to be as universal as originally envisaged, it had serious ramifications on the culture of Catholic countries, beginning with Italy. An ever-growing number of studies is devoted to this subject, benefiting from the opening of the archive of the Roman Inquisition in 1998 and from the ground-breaking critical edition of the Indexes of Forbidden Books.1 By contrast, almost all of the Church’s attempts to harness printing as a means of communication in support of its own cause have been largely overlooked. This observation is especially true for the very heart of Catholicism, the city of Rome. In the capital of the Papal States, however, cardinals and popes did employ local publishers to print an array of scholarly books to challenge Protestantism mostly in the patristic and historiographical fields. As I have illustrated elsewhere, these innovative attempts took place long before the establishment of the Typographia Vaticana in 1587.2","PeriodicalId":219728,"journal":{"name":"Print and Power in Early Modern Europe (1500–1800)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130875768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A military incursion in Groningen, in the north-east of the country, ravaged the countryside. A small but ferocious band of soldiers, some seventy in total, tore through villages and farms, plundering, raping, taking hostages and throwing pregnant women off a dyke. Although the Dutch Republic was a state that depended on commerce, it was also a country that was almost continually at war throughout the seventeenth century. However, this episode of warfare was not part of a conflict between the Dutch and a foreign power, but between contesting political factions within the Dutch state. The December raid in Groningen was not an account of a foreign invasion, but of an instance of violence committed by Dutch soldiers against Dutch citizens. This was one sad, but recurring event, which took place as part of the Ommelander Troubles. This particular instance of violence has come down to us thanks to a publication by the Council of Ommelanden, the representative assembly of nobles and landholders of the Groningen countryside. On 9 December 1642, they published a placard against the city of Groningen, accusing the magistrates of that city of sponsoring the vicious raid. In eight short paragraphs, the Ommelanders claimed that Rudolph Schuringh, one of the magistrates of the city, had led the excursions into Ommelanden territory, and that he had employed a company of garrisoned soldiers in the pay of the States General, thereby using ‘weapons of the generality ... against their own lords and pay masters’.1 At the end of the placard, the Council of Ommelanden called upon their citizens to capture Schuringh, and answer the call to arms to protect their ‘fatherland’ whenever church bells were rung (see figure 7.1). The Ommelanden broadsheet is a chilling text, portraying some of the horrors inflicted upon the Groningen countryside by a band of marauding troops. It is also a remarkable piece of official print, representing a public attack by","PeriodicalId":219728,"journal":{"name":"Print and Power in Early Modern Europe (1500–1800)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115795930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
