Archiving the Swiss Tagsatzung in the early modern era: From distributed protocols to confederal archive
The evolution of the Swiss Confederation from a local alliance among Imperial estates to a national entity on the European stage can be mapped by tracking the way that federal business was archived from the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries. The original Diet (Tagsatzung) established after the allied cantons gained shared territories in the Aargau in the 1420s lacked the personnel or institutional identity necessary to undertake any archival acti…

Making Archives in Early Modern Europe: Proof, Information, and Political Record-Keeping, 1400–1700
European states were overwhelmed with information around 1500. Their agents sought to organize their overflowing archives to provide trustworthy evidence and comprehensive knowledge that was useful in the everyday exercise of power. This detailed comparative study explores cases from Lisbon to Vienna to Berlin in order to understand how changing information technologies and ambitious programs of state-building challenged record-keepers to find ne…

J esse S pohnholz . The Convent of Wesel: The Event That Never Was and the Invention of Tradition
Starting in the early seventeenth century, Dutch Reformed thinkers began referring to a founding meeting of key theologians that stood at the beginning of their church’s history: the 1568 Convent of Wesel. This purported event is documented by a list of theological propositions, written in a single hand and dated Wesel, November 3, 1568. Labeled in Latin as “Certain specific chapters or articles that in the service of the church of the Netherland…
Mitten in Europa: Verflechtung und Abgrenzung in der Schweizer Geschichte The Swiss and their Neighbours, 1460–1560: Between Accommodation and Aggression
European historiography has been profoundly shaped by national frameworks of analysis since the nineteenth century, just as much in Europe’s smaller nations as in the larger ones. The tenacity of national perspectives results both from historians’ own practices and from their embeddedness in cultures that continue to treat national history as fundamentally important. This may be illustrated for Switzerland by the debates that broke out in 2015 ov…

Configuring European Archives: Spaces, Materials and Practices in the Differentiation of Repositories from the Late Middle Ages to 1700
While recordkeeping and record-using were important in Classical societies and early medieval Europe, rapid evolution and change characterized recordkeeping practices from the late Middle Ages throughout the early modern period. This paper recasts changes in Western European recordkeeping from the fourteenth to eighteenth century in terms of the differentiation of spaces and practices, thus challenging older literature that sees increasing accumu…

A Concise History of Switzerland
Despite its position at the heart of Europe and its quintessentially European nature, Switzerland's history is often overlooked within the English-speaking world. This comprehensive and engaging history of Switzerland traces the historical and cultural development of this fascinating but neglected European country from the end of the Dark Ages up to the present. The authors focus on the initial Confederacy of the Middle Ages; the religious divisi…
Documents, Archives, and Proof Around 1700
Jean Mabillon's De re diplomatica , whose importance for diplomatics and the philosophy of history is well recognized, also contributed to the seventeenth-century European debate over the relationship among documents, archives, and historical or juridical proof. This article juxtaposes early works on diplomatics by Mabillon, Daniel Papebroche, and Barthélémy Germon against German ius archivi theorists including Rutger Ruland and Ahasver Fritsch t…

History of the Alps, 1500-1900: Environment, Development and Society, by Jon Mathieu
The publication of History of the Alps (originally published in German as Geschichte der Alpen, 1500–1900: Umwelt, Entwicklung, Gesellschaft [1998]) brings to the English-speaking world the work of a major scholar of social and economic life in the Alpine region during the pre-modern period.

Shared Lordship, Authority, and Administration: The Exercise of Dominion in the Gemeine Herrschaften of the Swiss Confederation, 1417–1600
Kaspar von Graffenried, the Landvogt or administrator in this polemic from ca. 1617, was a Bernese patrician serving for two years as highest authority in the Swiss subject territory known as the County ( Grafschaft ) of Baden. He acted as an agent not of the Bernese city-state that had appointed him, but of all eight of the cantons that shared possession of Baden and its surroundings; his tenure fit into a rotation of administrators from the oth…
A Contested Nation: History, Memory and Nationalism in Switzerland, 1761-1891
Studies of national identity and nationalism have experienced a high conjuncture during the last decade, and recently Switzerland (after a typical delay) is taking its place among them. In this rich but somewhat sprawling study, Oliver Zimmer traces the shifting contours of national sentiment in Switzerland—a project that always gave historical arguments a central place in the origins of Swissness—and seeks to show how a national identity could b…

Early Modern Democracy in the Grisons: Social Order and Political Language in a Swiss Mountain Canton, 1470–1620
The Freestate of the Three Leagues in the Grisons, a rural confederation in the Swiss Alps, was one of the most unusual political entities in early modern Europe. In the sixteenth century, its inhabitants enjoyed popular sovereignty and remarkable local autonomy, and many of them insisted on political equality among citizens, and on political leaders' responsibilities to their communities. The author of this 1995 book uses pamphlets and political…
A Plurilingual Family in the Sixteenth Century: Language Use and Linguistic Consciousness in the Salis Family Correspondence, 1580-1610
The family correspondence of the Salis family in eastern Switzerland reveals complex patterns of language usage. Letters by family members during the late sixteenth century used their native Romansh as well as Latin, German, Italian, and French. Sons used Latin to write their father, whereas he felt free to write them in other languages as well, and admonished his sons for speaking Romansh. Women did not know Latin, but struggled to write in Germ…

Der Landfrieden garantierte über Jahrzehnte die friedliche Koexistenz von protestantischer Meh…
