One is based on the assumption that, within the framework of the divine order of creation, each person is placed in his or her respective area of life to contribute to the establishment of the Kingdom of God – irrespective of the social hierarchy. While this order is based on biblical principles and appears as an overarching model, the second idea of order is based on the creation of an evangelical community within the early modern social hierarchy. Princes and magistrates as the highest political officeholders in a territory or a city are juxtaposed with housefathers and housemothers as heads of families, the smallest social units. Both regiments – princely and urban authorities as well as heads of households – do not only have to fulfil the same Christian and moral duties, but they are also responsible for the creation and preservation of evangelical society and thus for the unity of the Christian and the political community.","PeriodicalId":42621,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR REFORMATIONSGESCHICHTE-ARCHIVE FOR REFORMATION HISTORY","volume":"110 1","pages":"138 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44927077","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}

Only in the Roman Catholic Church did the Vulgate maintain its dominant position; the Council of Trent declared it the authoritative Bible edition, and, in the late sixteenth century, the so-called Sixto-Clementina provided a carefully revised version of the Latin text that endured into the twentieth century.2 On the one hand, it was humanism which led to the Vulgate’s diminishing importance. The humanists and humanist-educated reformers studied the ancient biblical languages, Hebrew and Greek, and produced new editions of the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament. The most famous of these were the Hebrew Rabbinic Bibles printed by Daniel Bomberg in Venice in 1517 and 1524,3 the Novum Instrumentum of Erasmus of Rotterdam, first published in 1516,4 and the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, printed between 1514 and 1517 in Alcalá.5 Learned exegetical study of the Bible was no longer","PeriodicalId":42621,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR REFORMATIONSGESCHICHTE-ARCHIVE FOR REFORMATION HISTORY","volume":"110 1","pages":"22 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43543575","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}

A close reading of Bullinger’s texts is employed to develop a cultural interpretation of the great crisis of 1570/71 that was caused by climate change. During that crisis, Bullinger and his colleague Gwalther moved beyond seeing the connection between moral corruption, increased begging, and alcoholism as the cause of God’s climate scourge to making concrete proposals for poor relief. Understanding climate change as a portent, Bullinger, like many Protestants, concluded that the Day of the Last Judgment was near.","PeriodicalId":42621,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR REFORMATIONSGESCHICHTE-ARCHIVE FOR REFORMATION HISTORY","volume":"110 1","pages":"200 - 236"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44859905","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}

It is noticeable that there are only very few personifications of “Reformation” that were female and associated with the idea of “correctio” from agriculture or viticulture as well as references to Lucan’s De bello civili during the early modern period. In this essay, these attributes are identified in an eighteenth-century personification of “Reformation” by Jeremias Wachsmuth which is compared to the sixteenth-century image “Riforma” by Cesare Ripa. 20. Zum Gebrauch des Begriffs der Reformation im deutschen Verwaltungskontext des 18. Jahrhunderts vgl. beispielhaft Christian Wilhelm von Dohm, „Über das physiokratische System“, in: Deutsches Museum (10) 1778, 289–324, hier 323: „[...] eine plötzliche Reformazion [sic!] einer Verfassung, die so viele Jahrhunderte gestanden und im Innersten der Denkart, Sitten, Gesetze, Religion so fest verwurzelt ist, allemal unendlich mehr böse Folgen nach sich zieht, als man übersehen kann, und selten die guten als man erwartet.“ Die Schrift erschien noch einmal 1782 in Wien.
