Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This is an excellent study of Valentin Weigel, a significant figure who has been unjustly overlooked. In his own day Weigel might not have had much influence or stature, but given that many of his ideas were far ahead of his time, and that much of the historical writing on the Reformation has been confessionally-generated, this is not surprising. But due to the very fact that Weigel was so much more in line with the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries than the sixteenth, he presents us with an extremely interesting case study of a man out of joint with his own time. Weeks does a wonderful job of outlining and analyzing Weigel's life and thought, and of placing Weigel in the proper context of late medieval mystical traditions and the doctrinal disputes of the sixteenth century." -- Carlos M. N. Eire, Yale University

Reseña del editor:

This first English-language consideration of Valentin Weigel, an important but neglected figure in German intellectual history, examines his life and his writings on tolerance.
