During the last forty years there has been a remarkable resurgence in interest by 16th-century historians in the Strasbourg Reformer, Martin Bucer (1491-1551). The components and originality of his thoughts and his actions, as well as the reality of his ideas are emerging more and more. This is largely due to the new edition of his works undertaken by an international committee, established in 1952. This edition is divided into three sections: Opera Latina (of which 5 volumes have appeared since 1953 : vols. 1-3, 15 and 15 bis); Deutsche Schriften (10 volumes since 1960: vols. 1-6, 3, 7 and 17); Correspondance (vol. 1, 1979). The present second volume of the Correspondance (1524-1526) essentially covers five themes: 1) the controversies with the Roman church, 2) the evangelical propaganda, especially in the Roman speaking countries, 3) the sacramentarian dispute and the search for reconciliation, 4) the Peasant war and 5) the beginning of the anabaptist crisis.
Jean Rott was born and educated in France and received the D. Litt from Strasbourg in 1975. His first volume of Correspondance de Martin Bucer (jusqu'en 1524) was published in 1979 by Brill. His other publications include Quellen zur Geschichte der Täufer. Elsass, Teil I-IV, 1959-88; Investigationes historicae, 1986, 2 vols. He received the lauréat from the Institute de France in 1938.
'The present volume has a great deal to teach Reformation historians whether their interest be theological, social or political.'
Irena Backus, Bibliothèque d'Humanisme et Renaissance, 1990.
'The honorary doctorate of theology conferred on Jean Rotte by the Theological Faculty of the University of Münster...is a fitting tribute to the stature of his achievement.'
Peter Schaeffer, The Sixteenth Century Journal, 1991.
'Alles in allem stellt dieser Band eine bemerkenswerte Quellenausgabe zur Reformationsgschichte dar.'
