  • A Matter of Jurisdiction: “Guelfs” and “Ghibellines” in the French Wars of Religion

    Open AccessGeorge HoffmannARTICLEClio Themis2023

    Gallicans like Montaigne construed the confessional struggle as a problem of jurisdiction between the Crown and the Pope. When he quipped “to the Ghibelline I was a Guelph, to the Guelph a Ghibelline”, he was thus not intimating that he appeared “Protestant” to the Catholic side and “Catholic” to the Protestant one. Instead, he used these terms in their historical sense, designating a division between citramontane supporters of the king and ultra…

  • Reforming French Culture: Satire, Spiritual Alienation, and Connection to Strangers

    George Hoffmann, Jane CouchmanARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2019

    asks two central questions: Why did France remain a Roman Catholic country, given the history of gallicanism, the widespread interest in religious reform, and the initial swift adoption of the reformed religion by significant numbers of French men and women, especially nobles, intellectuals, tradesmen, and artisans?And were the reformers' satirical attacks on Roman Catholic beliefs and practices significant sources for Enlightenment thinkers?In r…

  • Compassion’s Edge: Fellow-Feeling and Its Limits in Early Modern France

    Katherine Ibbett, George HoffmannARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2018

    Compassion's Edge examines the language of fellow-feeling—pity, compassion, and charitable care—that flourished in France in the period from the Edict of Nantes in 1598, which established some degree of religious toleration, to the official breakdown of that toleration with the Revocation of the Edict in 1685. This is not, however, a story about compassion overcoming difference but one of compassion reinforcing division: the seventeenth-century t…

  • Enter Rabelais, Laughing

    George HoffmannARTICLESixteenth Century Journal2000

    Francois Rabelais (1483?-1553) is a difficult and often misunderstood author, whose reputation for coarse Rabelaisian jesting and Gargantuan indulgence in food, drink, and sex is highly misleading. He was in fact a committed humanist who expressed strong views on religion, good government, education, and much more through the mock-heroic adventures of his giants. While most books about Rabelais have relatively little to say about his comedic geni…

  • Monsters and Modal Logic among French Naturalists of the Renaissance

    Open AccessGeorge HoffmannARTICLESouth Central Review1993

    Ernst Cassirer, who argued so forcefully that it was in the Renaissance that Europeans began to view nature objectively, devoted an important place in his Individual and Cosmos in Renaissance Philosophy to applauding Pico della Mirandola for replacing astrology with what Cassirer generously calls mathematico-physical causality. Cassirer does acknowledge, however, with surprise and, one feels, some disappointment, that Pico also cultivated an inte…
