This episode, reported in a memoir by Charlotte Arbaleste, is indicative of the Calvinist offensive against luxurious clothing and too conspicuous hairstyles at the end of the century. This offensive, which is based on some texts from Holy Scripture and especially on Tertullian and Cyprian, was led mainly by Pastor Daneau, in several books, and by the consistories of the Montauban area. Above all, it reveals a male desire to dictate their dress to women, to differentiate between genders in order to prioritize them: female hairdressing must be a sign of women’s inferiority compared to men. Faced with these claims, Charlotte Arbaleste presents herself as a free woman with the same skills as men, even if, for tactical reasons, she claims to owe her husband obedience.

He employed a “cosmological” explanation, asserting that the movement of the planets or another celestial phenomenon was the cause of such upheavals.1 Seeing causal relationships between the uprisings occurring during the early 1520s was not unique to Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada. This article analyzes primary sources that linked Martin Luther to the Comunero Revolt of 1520–1521 in Castile. First, the article will examine the early impact of news about Luther on Spain and its possible relationship to the revolt of the Comunidades. Then, it will discuss certain sources that made a posteriori comparisons or established a direct relationship between Luther and the comuneros. I argue that the inaccuracies likely involved in making these assumptions should be contextualized within a traditional discourse on heresy and rebellion. As is often pointed out, the falsehoods or fictions of a culture can tell us as much about this culture as its “truths” can.2 Finally, the article will discuss the","PeriodicalId":42621,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR REFORMATIONSGESCHICHTE-ARCHIVE FOR REFORMATION HISTORY","volume":"111 1","pages":"31 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44504345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vermeersch","doi":"10.14315/arg-2020-1110109","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14315/arg-2020-1110109","url":null,"abstract":"In August 1566, chronicle writer Marcus Van Vaernewijck noticed the vigor with which a young man debated a Calvinist preacher during one of the illegal hedge-preachings in Ghent. Van Vaernewijck identified the man as an Anabaptist. Anabaptists, he continued, were known for their clever debating tricks, a skill they had mastered because they were inspired by the arguments in the letters and songs that had been written by imprisoned and eventually executed Anabaptists.1 Most of these texts were compiled in the martyrology entitled Het Offer des Heeren (hereafter abbreviated as ODH).2 The popularity of this compilation suggests that printed communication played an important role in the dissemination of Anabaptist ideas. Yet Van Vaernewijck’s comment illustrates how the content of those printed texts also reached citizens through complex processes of medial interactions. The printed content was not simply read, it was also circulated and mediated through oral and performative communication. Most of the scholarship on these printed martyr texts has focused on the theological message of the text itself, but since the non-textual communication and iteration of the ideas within the text were at least as important as the text itself, this article seeks to analyze the form and functions of those medial interactions in the urban context of Ghent.

Kooi","doi":"10.14315/arg-2020-1110112","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14315/arg-2020-1110112","url":null,"abstract":"As we make our way through the twenty-first century, the Reformation anniversaries continue to crop up. At a remove of four or five hundred years, the religious tumults that afflicted early modern Europe can seem very far away indeed from our own more secularized era. Germany’s official commemoration in 2017 of the five hundredth anniversary of Martin Luther’s protest, the Lutherjahr, sometimes presented the Wittenberg monk more as a martyr to freedom of conscience than the deeply passionate and partisan Christian believer and thinker that he in fact was.1 Indeed much of the Reformation year commemorations of 2017 were at pains to explain to twenty-first century audiences why so many sixteenth-century Europeans were so stirred up about abstract questions of theological speculation. From the perspective of five hundred years, the past can be a foreign country indeed. Still, many of us working in Reformation studies had opportunities in 2017 to share our expertise with popular audiences, and in this respect the public commemorations, as problematic as they could sometimes be, were good certainly for the field. Among the Reformation anniversaries observed this past year, 2019, is that of the National Synod of Dordrecht, which took place from November 1618 to May 1619, a milestone event in the history of early modern Reformed Protestantism. The Synod of Dordrecht (sometimes called “Dordt”) was a gathering of delegates from the provincial synods of the Reformed Church of the Dutch Republic, its theological faculties, and the States General, as well as a number of foreign representatives from Protestant Europe, that attempted to settle once and for all the precise theological identity of the church. The meeting was a watershed development in the evolution of the Reformed Church, which had only been legally and freely established less than fifty years earlier in 1572, when the provinces of Holland and Zeeland won their independence from Spanish suzerainty during the Revolt of the Netherlands. It was also an important moment in the history of international Calvinism, and the spiritual heirs of Dordt across the globe have been among the most active in celebrating the Synod’s quadricentennial.","PeriodicalId":42621,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR REFORMATIONSGESCHICHTE-ARCHIVE FOR REFORMATION HISTORY","volume":"111 1","pages":"289 - 300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47442823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Where exactly they met in Cologne is unknown, for they came and went by stealth as a precautionary measure against the dangers of their sensitive mission. Wherever it was, they assembled at the behest of Hermann von Wied (1477–1552), Cologne’s archbishop-elector, in order to refute allegations that the Order of Masonic Brothers derived from the Knights Templar and now conspired: to regain once glorious former possessions; to take revenge on the papacy, princes, and other powers whose ancestors had executed the Templars’s last Grand Master; to incite riots; and to proselytize for new members, testing candidates with bodily torture and requiring them to pledge under oath that they, too, would carry out the same ends under strict rules of secrecy. Seeking peace, not blood, the delegates to this clandestine congress produced a document that countered the charges and encouraged their beleaguered brothers. Written on ancient parchment in Latin with use of a cipher, the document described the real history, objective, and constitution of Freemasonry in clearly Christian terms. The delegates, of special importance to the Reformation, made nineteen identical versions of the document to be delivered to their nineteen cities; each delegate, the master of a lodge, signed his own name in ordinary letters at the end – including Philip Melanchthon (1497–1560). This describes briefly the making of the document known as the Charter of Cologne (Kölner Urkunde).1 The story is an explosive one.

Largely issued in the 1580s and 1590s, these decrees required marriages to be solemnized either in the presence of a Reformed minister or a municipal officer.4 The resulting mismatch between canon and secular law had grave consequences for Catholics living in the Dutch Republic.
