  • A Companion to Multiconfessionalism in the Early Modern World

    Bernard Capp, Thomas Max SafleyBOOKA companion to multiconfessionalism…2011

    In the sixteenth century, the Christian church and Christian worship fragmented into a multiplicity of confessions that has grown to the present day. The essays in this volume demonstrate that multiconfessionalism, understood as the legally recognized and politically supported coexistence of two or more confessions in a single polity, was the rule rather than the exception for most of early modern Europe. The contributors examine its causes and e…

    Cross-disciplinary perspectives on responses to material and spiritual loss in early modern Germany trace how individuals and communities registered, coped with, and made sense of deprivation through a spectrum of activities, often turning loss into gain and acquiring agency.

  • Business Failure and Civil Scandal in Early Modern Europe

    Open AccessThomas Max SafleyARTICLEThe Business History Review2009Cited by: 9References: 22

    The failure of one of the most prominent German merchant-banking houses of the early sixteenth century, Ambrosius and Hanns, the Brothers Höchstetter, and Associates, serves as the point of departure for an exploration of why early modern merchants failed and what the consequences of failure were. This single example illuminates a variety of issues: state engagement in commerce and finance; legal development of bankruptcy procedures; economic str…

  • The Reformation of Charity

    Thomas Max SafleyBOOKReformation of Charity2003

    Early modern Europe witnessed changes in the social, political, and ecclesiastical structures supporting poor relief, but notions that sharp fault lines divide rationalized, secular poor relief from morally and spiritually motivated ecclesiastical charity need rethinking. Spiritual ideals shaped political and social poor relief structures just as much as rationalization and effective administration colored ecclesiastical charity efforts. Poor rel…

  • Death and Confession

    Open AccessThomas Max SafleyCHAPTERMatheus Miller's Memoir2000

    Matheus Miller was a pious man. As he recorded the noteworthy events of his life, he scored his memoir with prayers to God and reflections on Providence. Some of these invocations were rather brief and distant — at least to modern ears. On the occasion of his first marriage in 1647, he noted that the arrangements were concluded ‘with good peace and content for which praise and thanks to the All Highest; may He further give the assured, divine ble…

    Thomas Max Safley, Robert M KingdonARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…1996

    Overview: This book makes two major contributions to our understanding of this time. The first is to the history of divorce. The second is in illustrating the operations of the Consistory of Geneva - an institution designed to control in all its variety the behavior of the entire population - which was established at Calvin's insistence in 1541. This mandate came shortly after the city officially adopted Protestantism in 1536, when divorce became…
