What’s in a Word? The Etymology and Historiography of Dynasty – Renaissance Europe and Beyond
This article traces the problematic way in which the word ‘dynasty’ has evolved in western languages and historiography. Analysing European historical dictionaries (sixteenth century to present), and thousands of printed book titles (fifteenth–twentieth centuries), it shows how the word's meaning shifted significantly following publication of volume 5 of the Encylopédie in 1755 – from its ancient sense of ‘government, regime’ per se, to ‘a heredi…
Remembering the Jagiellonians
First published
King Sigismund of Poland and Martin Luther
This first major study of the early Reformation and Polish monarchy for over a century asks why Crown and church in the reign of King Sigismund I (1506–48) did not persecute Lutherans. It offers a new narrative of Luther’s dramatic impact on this monarchy—which saw violent urban Reformations and the creation of Christendom’s first Lutheran principality by 1525—placing these events in their comparative European context. Sigismund’s realm appears t…
Dynasties
Global history can be conceived of in various different ways: as the study of connections and exchange between continents or, alternatively, as large-scale comparative history. Jeroen Duindam’s lively new book falls squarely into this second category—global history as comparative history in maximalist style, at its most ambitious and most colourful. As the author himself tells us, this book ‘pioneers a form of worldwide comparison centred on conc…
High clergy and printers
Scholarship on anti-Reformation printed polemic has long neglected east-central Europe. This article considers the corpus of early anti-Reformation works produced in the Polish monarchy (1517–36), a kingdom with its own vocal pro-Luther communities, and with reformed states on its borders. It places these works in their European context and, using Jagiellonian Poland as a case study, traces the evolution of local polemic, stresses the multiple fu…
Sinners on Trial
In her first book, Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland (2006), Magda Teter explored social contacts between Jews and Christians in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Poland-Lithuania, arguing that the Roman church’s hostility to such relationships revealed deep anxieties about its own ultimate capacity to survive in early modern Europe’s largest territorial state. Five years on, the present book offers us an extension both of the basic subject-m…
Forgetting Lutheranism
This article reconstructs and explores the problematic historiography of the early Reformation in the lands of the Polish Crown, a significant locus of Lutheranism in the reign of King Zygmunt I Jagiellon (1506–1548). The eighteenth, nineteenth, and early-to mid twentieth centuries produced a sizeable literature on early Lutheranism in Poland, fuelled by Polish-German conflict, minority politics, and Stalinist state sponsorship. Since the 1960s, …
From Strassburg to Trent
Britain and Poland-Lithuania
Containing twenty-four essays on a broad and pleasantly eclectic range of economic, religious, cultural and intellectual history topics, this volume brings together papers given by British, Polish, North American, Danish and Australian scholars at a major conference on the histories of Britain and Poland-Lithuania held in Cracow in 2005. As the title ‘Contact and Comparison’ implies, the articles published here seek to do two slightly different t…
