Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a friar and Professor of Theology at the University of Wittenberg, Germany. While undertaking scriptural studies, Luther arrived at an essential tenet: the Bible alone was the source to salvation and true Christianity. Luther rejected the authority of the Pope, and thought that people should go to the church and pray, directly to God or Jesus, and not to anyone who claimed special powers or holiness. On 31st October 1517, All Saints’ Day eve, an occasion that attracted many pilgrims to the city, Luther is said to have nailed 95 theses to the church door. These disputations, in Latin, were a provocative attack on indulgences, which he saw as a money-making scheme by the Church. Initially posted to generate scholarly debate, the theses marked a beginning on the Reformation timeline. Importantly, it was not only the theses that sparked the revolution; the time was ripe for action. <br />Luther was a preacher with a prolific publication output. He utilised the relatively new technology of printing to disseminate his works, many slender tracts (<em>flugschrift</em>) and sermons written in German, to a wider audience. Supporters helped, including Philip Melanchthon and Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. And of course there were his opponents such as Johannes Cochlaeus, who wrote the first biography on him, and Emperor Charles V. The Papal authorities saw Luther as a ‘notorious heretic’, and he was excommunicated at the Diet of Worms in 1521. <br />This exhibition, <em>500 Years On. Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation</em>, is a celebratory one that not only acknowledges Luther’s provocative action back in October 1517, but also the result, the spread of Reform that followed across Europe. The major players in this drama include Huldrych Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox, and Henry VIII, who was instrumental in starting the English Reformation. There was also the inevitable back-lash, those involved in the ‘Catholic’ Counter Reformation. On-going Catholic and Protestant differences resulted in the wholesale persecution of various sects, the English Civil War, and internal religious and social strife throughout many European countries. Luther’s legacy continues to impact the world today. <br />Thanks to the Department of Theology and Religion, especially Professor Murray Rae, the Rev Dr Peter Matheson, and Dr Brett Knowles

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Ubertino de Casale (1259-1329) entered a Franciscan monastery in the Genoa region of Italy at age fourteen. By the turn of the century, Casale had developed his more radical beliefs. He believed in ‘absolute’ poverty and criticised the church, its’ Pope, and the Franciscans themselves. In 1305, the troublesome and argumentative monk was banished by his own order to an isolated monastery at Mount Alverna in central Italy. While there, in just over three months, he wrote his seminal work, <em>Arbor vite</em> (‘The Tree of the Crucified Life of Jesus’). In it, Casale writes of reform, renewal, and the apocalypse; and he criticises Popes Boniface VIII and Benedict XI, calling them ‘Beasts of the Apocalypse’. This work was printed in Venice in 1485. Someone has clearly read and marked this page, which shows the end of Book II and the beginning of Book III.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
While in exile at the Wartburg Castle, under the protection of Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony (1463-1525), Luther began his translation of the New Testament, using the 1516 critical Greek edition by Erasmus. <em>Das Newe Testament Deutzsch</em> was published in September 1522. He then started on the Old Testament and Apocrypha, using a translation committee of friends such as Philip Melanchthon, Justus Jonas, and John Bugenhagen; his ‘Sanhedrin’ (transl. assembly or council). Completed in 1534, the entire Bible was in German – the language of the people. Essentially, with the aid of the printing press, Luther not only helped standardize the various regional dialects, but he also left the German people his greatest achievement. This is a facsimile of the first volume, reprinted in 1935.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Sir Roger Twysden (1597–1672) was an English pamphleteer and constitutional historian, who, over a long career, was not only deemed ‘troublesome, [and] unreliable’ by King Charles I, but later, in 1642, imprisoned for anti-parliamentary activities. It is no wonder he decamped to the countryside, where he wrote<em> An Historical Vindication of the Church of England in Point of Schism</em> (1657), a narrative positing an early British priority for the English Church over Rome. In this second edition, he notes the persecution of Protestants in Queen Mary’s time, and Geneva, where John Calvin was active. Twysden was an admirer of Paolo Sarpi, the anti-papalist; he may also have had sympathies with Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531), the leader of the Reformation in Switzerland.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Katharina (Kate) von Bora (1499-1552) entered her first convent at age five. Her father was an impoverished gentleman farmer and in 1509, he decided, without consulting her, that she should become a nun. During her 18 monastic years, Kate learned to read and write Latin and German. In the 1520s, Luther’s writings made their way to Kate in her convent. After reading them and contacting Luther himself, she made the decision, along with eleven other nuns, to escape. This they did, in April 1523, with the help of Luther and a local merchant. Despite Luther’s initial reticence, the couple married in 1525, and they had six children. Kate, ‘a busy, talented, and forceful woman’ (Stjerna, 2009), developed and ran farming projects to supplement the household income and took part in the ‘Table Talk’ at the Luther home. She was the ‘ultimate Reformer’s spouse’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Born into the Dutch Hapsburg dynasty, Charles V (1500-58), became Holy Roman Emperor in 1519. In 1521, he decided that Luther deserved a formal public hearing and summoned him to a Diet at Worms, giving him safe passage through the German countryside. Luther’s supporters did not want him to attend the Diet in case his fate echoed that of Jan Hus, who was branded a heretic and condemned to death at the Council of Constance in 1415. However, Luther attended, recanted nothing, and survived. It was not politically prudent for Charles to condemn Luther to death although he did publicly brand him an ‘obstinate schismatic and a manifest heretic’ and outlawed him. Still under Charles’s ‘safe passage’, Luther hastily left Worms. Luckily for Luther, for the rest of his reign, Charles was too distracted by various wars to police his reformation activities.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Wittenberg University was founded in 1502 and a printing press was established at the same time to supply students and lecturers with scholarly texts. When Luther arrived in Wittenberg to teach theology in 1508, the printer in residence was Johannes Rhau-Grunenberg. Before 1517, and the advent of Luther’s 95 theses, an average of eight books was published in Wittenberg per year. After 1517, in the next three decades, over 91 books were published per year – three million individual copies – one in three of which were penned by Luther himself. Within 40 years, Wittenberg became ‘Germany’s largest publishing centre’ (Pettegree, 2015). This volume by Philip Melanchthon, Luther’s friend and colleague, was printed by Rhau-Grunenberg’s son, George.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Katharina von Bora married Martin Luther in 1525, after escaping from a convent two years before. Many of Luther’s friends and colleagues were against the marriage; Philip Melanchthon disapproved and did not attend the wedding. From all accounts, their marriage was a success and their household, along with their six children and many hangers-on, a happy one. This portrait of Kate, by Lucas Cranach the Elder, was completed in 1526.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a friar and Professor of Theology at the University of Wittenberg, Germany. While undertaking scriptural studies, Luther arrived at an essential tenet: the Bible alone was the source to salvation and true Christianity. Luther rejected the authority of the Pope, and thought that people should go to the church and pray, directly to God or Jesus, and not to anyone who claimed special powers or holiness. On 31st October 1517, All Saints’ Day eve, an occasion that attracted many pilgrims to the city, Luther is said to have nailed 95 theses to the church door. These disputations, in Latin, were a provocative attack on indulgences, which he saw as a money-making scheme by the Church. Initially posted to generate scholarly debate, the theses marked a beginning on the Reformation timeline. Importantly, it was not only the theses that sparked the revolution; the time was ripe for action. <br />Luther was a preacher with a prolific publication output. He utilised the relatively new technology of printing to disseminate his works, many slender tracts (<em>flugschrift</em>) and sermons written in German, to a wider audience. Supporters helped, including Philip Melanchthon and Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. And of course there were his opponents such as Johannes Cochlaeus, who wrote the first biography on him, and Emperor Charles V. The Papal authorities saw Luther as a ‘notorious heretic’, and he was excommunicated at the Diet of Worms in 1521. <br />This exhibition, <em>500 Years On. Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation</em>, is a celebratory one that not only acknowledges Luther’s provocative action back in October 1517, but also the result, the spread of Reform that followed across Europe. The major players in this drama include Huldrych Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox, and Henry VIII, who was instrumental in starting the English Reformation. There was also the inevitable back-lash, those involved in the ‘Catholic’ Counter Reformation. On-going Catholic and Protestant differences resulted in the wholesale persecution of various sects, the English Civil War, and internal religious and social strife throughout many European countries. Luther’s legacy continues to impact the world today. <br />Thanks to the Department of Theology and Religion, especially Professor Murray Rae, the Rev Dr Peter Matheson, and Dr Brett Knowles

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) was an artist, an entrepreneur, and a good friend of Martin Luther. From early in the 16th century, Cranach lived in Wittenberg and became Elector of Saxony, Frederick the Wise’s court painter; he was to become one of the most important German Renaissance artists. This portrait of Martin Luther by Cranach was finished one year after the ex-monk married Katharina von Bora in 1525.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
While Melanchthon was the intellectual backbone of the Reformation, Lucas Cranach the Elder, court painter for Frederick the Wise, was essentially the ‘brand marketing manager’. Luther and Cranach became friends in 1518. It was Cranach’s talent as an artist, businessman, and innovator that helped Luther spread his ‘message’ throughout Germany. Cranach produced some of the most iconic woodcut images of Luther that helped to spread Luther’s ideas and therefore the Reformation. He also published countless works by Luther, most notably Luther’s translation of the Bible (c. 1525). And despite working for and maintaining close relationships with some high profile Catholics, like Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz, Cranach was essentially ‘the authentic creator of Brand Luther’ (Pettegree, 2015).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In the 16th century, women were expected not to have opinions on theology. One who did not adhere to this philosophy was Bavarian noblewoman, Argula von Grumbach (1492-c.1555). Described by Peter Matheson as the ‘first woman publicist’, Argula challenged scholars, the Church, and lawmakers in eight published pamphlets. She corresponded with Frederik the Wise, Spalatin, and Luther, who described her as a ‘special instrument of Christ’s work’. None of the educational or ecclesiastical institutions she wrote to ever replied to her personally but they did call her names: ‘silly bag’, ‘female devil’, and ‘heretical bitch’. Her husband, who was still faithful to the ‘Old Church’, lost his administrative office because of her writings, and was told to control ‘his woman’. Clearly, Argula made the established patriarchy feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Paolo Sarpi (1552–1623) was an Italian historian and prelate whose writings were highly critical of the Catholic Church. Indeed, the ‘great unmasker’, as John Milton called Sarpi, was such a threat to Papal authorities that he survived two assassination attempts: in one instance surviving 15 stiletto (dagger) thrusts. Sarpi’s most famous work was <em>The History of the Council of Trent</em>, of which this is the first English edition. On the subject of his books being condemned, Sarpi captures the doggedness and determination of Luther well: ‘Neither did this trouble Martin one iote, but rather caused him to goe on, and to declare and fortifie his doctrine the more it was opposed.’ (p.9)

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
King Henry VIII (1491-1547) ruled England for 36 years. His controversial personal life (six wives and many mistresses) led him to break with the Catholic Church to create the Church of England. At first Henry supported the Papacy. In July 1521, he wrote <em>An Assertion of the Seven Sacraments against Martin Luther</em>, which was itself a response to Luther’s<em> Babylonian Captivity</em> (1520), which had denounced the Papal system. A slanging match began: Henry called Luther a ‘serpent so poisonous’ and ‘a limb of Satan!’, while in his own rebuttal (<em>Adversus Henricum Anglicum</em>), Luther called Henry ‘that king of lies, King Heinz’ and a ‘damnable and rotten worm’. Henry’s work was dedicated to Pope Leo, who, pleased with Henry’s support, gave him the official title of <em>Fidei Defensor</em> (Defender of the Faith). This 19th century copy of Goldsmith’s<em> History of England</em> contains some delightful wood engravings by Thomas Bewick.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Indulgences offered remission of the penalty for sins, which otherwise had to be endured in Purgatory. While a legitimate part of the Church’s infrastructure, an ‘indulgence industry’ developed, with many abusing the system by selling off indulgences to raise funds for expensive projects like the Crusades or building cathedrals. Indeed, Archbishop Albert of Mainz (1490-1545) instructed his indulgence peddlers to travel as wide as possible, and gave advice on how to make the indulgence – often a piece of parchment festooned with seals – to look attractive. In the gutter of this <em>Commentary</em> on the <em>Bible</em> is the remaining fragment of an indulgence, printed by William Caxton in Westminster sometime after 9 August 1480. Used as a sewing guard, it is a supreme example of recycling.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In medieval times, women had three options – wife, nun, whore. After the Reformation, those options shrank as many convents were closed in newly converted Protestant areas. Reformers rejected celibacy, advocating marriage and attendance to the family as a ‘religious vocation’ for women. Men and women were considered equal in the ethereal eyes of the Lord, but not in the home where women were still expected to be subservient to men and do all the chores. The women, in this image above, have turned society on its allegorical head. The ‘deceptive’ women, helped by the devil (at right) have ‘bewitched’ the men, from all walks of life, into a trap. In a time of religious and political instability, the artist is portraying an image of society in moral decline.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a friar and Professor of Theology at the University of Wittenberg, Germany. While undertaking scriptural studies, Luther arrived at an essential tenet: the Bible alone was the source to salvation and true Christianity. Luther rejected the authority of the Pope, and thought that people should go to the church and pray, directly to God or Jesus, and not to anyone who claimed special powers or holiness. On 31st October 1517, All Saints’ Day eve, an occasion that attracted many pilgrims to the city, Luther is said to have nailed 95 theses to the church door. These disputations, in Latin, were a provocative attack on indulgences, which he saw as a money-making scheme by the Church. Initially posted to generate scholarly debate, the theses marked a beginning on the Reformation timeline. Importantly, it was not only the theses that sparked the revolution; the time was ripe for action. <br />Luther was a preacher with a prolific publication output. He utilised the relatively new technology of printing to disseminate his works, many slender tracts (<em>flugschrift</em>) and sermons written in German, to a wider audience. Supporters helped, including Philip Melanchthon and Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. And of course there were his opponents such as Johannes Cochlaeus, who wrote the first biography on him, and Emperor Charles V. The Papal authorities saw Luther as a ‘notorious heretic’, and he was excommunicated at the Diet of Worms in 1521. <br />This exhibition, <em>500 Years On. Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation</em>, is a celebratory one that not only acknowledges Luther’s provocative action back in October 1517, but also the result, the spread of Reform that followed across Europe. The major players in this drama include Huldrych Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox, and Henry VIII, who was instrumental in starting the English Reformation. There was also the inevitable back-lash, those involved in the ‘Catholic’ Counter Reformation. On-going Catholic and Protestant differences resulted in the wholesale persecution of various sects, the English Civil War, and internal religious and social strife throughout many European countries. Luther’s legacy continues to impact the world today. <br />Thanks to the Department of Theology and Religion, especially Professor Murray Rae, the Rev Dr Peter Matheson, and Dr Brett Knowles

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The subject of injustices within society and criticism of tyrants always provides good copy for artists. The essence of this <em>flugblatt</em>, printed in 1544, is of turning the tables. In the background, foxes have captured the geese. In the foreground, the geese are exacting revenge: hanging foxes from trees; leading another to ‘slaughter’; and at lower right, the geese seem to be feeding off a dead fox. The text above reads (roughly): ‘Those who like to tell lies, have a sweet tooth, steal, are always idle or lecherous, will in the end face the retaliation of the master.’ The unknown artist Monogrammist GP is not Giovanni Pietro Possenti, an Italian printmaker, who lived from 1618 to 1659. The identity of this MGP remains a mystery.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Frederick the Wise, Luther’s protector, founded Wittenberg University in 1502. He thought of Luther as his ‘star university professor’ (Roper, 2015). Despite never meeting Luther, and even being publicly criticised by him for collecting relics and profiting from their display, Frederick continued to offer Luther protection and support. He did not allow Luther to go to Rome for trial. In 1521, after the Diet of Worms, where Luther was declared a heretic, Frederick ‘kidnapped’ Luther and sequestered him at Wartburg Castle to keep him safe. The title page of this 1550 edition of Luther’s works shows Luther (right) and Frederick (left) both kneeling before Jesus on the Cross. It depicts the pair as ‘equivalent pious Protestants’ – Frederick was nothing of the sort.

Erfurt: Michael Buchfuehrer
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Luther was primarily a preacher, and he followed the precept that ‘Christ Himself wrote nothing, nor did He give command to write, but to preach orally.’ He was forever delivering sermons, calculated at preaching some 7000 between 1510 and 1546; almost 200 per year, or four a week. Luther’s <em>Sermon on Indulgences and Grace</em> (<em>Eynn Sermon von dem Ablasz und Gnade</em>) was printed in April 1518. Written in German, it was a best-seller. Reprinted 14 times in 1518 alone, its success established the reputation of Luther. On 22 October 1522, Luther was at the Kaufmannskirche, one of the oldest parish churches in Erfurt. He delivered a sermon on the suffering of a Christian man. This is a facsimile of that sermon.

Cologne: [S. Kruffter?]
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
While travelling through Thuringia, east-central Germany, Luther learnt of the peasant unrest that would become known as the Peasants’ War of 1525. Fearful of a divided Christian Germany, he condemned the rulers who oppressed their subjects; he also condoned the killing of the rebels because they had ‘become faithless, perjured, disobedient, rebellious, murderers, robbers, and blasphemers…’. Even though he later modified his stance on this, his reputation suffered. Here is a Latin translation of Luther’s <em>Wider den Reubischen und Mördischen Rotten der Bauern</em> (<em>Against the Robbing and Murdering Hordes of Peasants</em>). It was issued by Catholic opponents in Cologne, and contains a response from Johannes Cochlaeus, Luther’s foe and first biographer.

Augsburg-based Leonhard Beck (c.1480–1542) was a painter and designer of woodcuts, who at one stage was an assistant to Hans Holbein the Elder. This ‘Bear Dance’ woodcut was executed about 1523. The text above the ox reads (roughly): ‘The ox who tries to flee the butcher / will have to be able to play the pipes’. Above the bear: ‘The bear who wants a long life / has to dance to all sorts of tunes.’ And above the donkey: ‘The donkey who cannot play the timpani / has to carry the sacks to the mill instead.’

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Oxford professor and theologian, John Wycliffe (c. 1329-84), was one of the main instigators of religious reform in England. A prolific writer, Wycliffe condemned the Church’s ownership of property, the luxury and privilege enjoyed by the clergy, indulgences, confession, and even the papacy itself. In his treatise, <em>De Ecclesia et Membris eius</em> (above p. vi, ‘And þus [thus] it is a blynd fooly…’), Wycliffe states ‘it is blind folly… men should fight for the pope more than…for belief’. Wycliffe also promoted and oversaw the translation of Jerome’s <em>Vulgate</em> into Middle English. Because of his polemic, he was ‘ordered to be silent’ and Pope Gregory XI (d. 1378) issued papal bulls against him. Some years after his death, Wycliffe was declared a heretic, his body was exhumed, burned, and the ashes were cast into a river.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a friar and Professor of Theology at the University of Wittenberg, Germany. While undertaking scriptural studies, Luther arrived at an essential tenet: the Bible alone was the source to salvation and true Christianity. Luther rejected the authority of the Pope, and thought that people should go to the church and pray, directly to God or Jesus, and not to anyone who claimed special powers or holiness. On 31st October 1517, All Saints’ Day eve, an occasion that attracted many pilgrims to the city, Luther is said to have nailed 95 theses to the church door. These disputations, in Latin, were a provocative attack on indulgences, which he saw as a money-making scheme by the Church. Initially posted to generate scholarly debate, the theses marked a beginning on the Reformation timeline. Importantly, it was not only the theses that sparked the revolution; the time was ripe for action. <br />Luther was a preacher with a prolific publication output. He utilised the relatively new technology of printing to disseminate his works, many slender tracts (<em>flugschrift</em>) and sermons written in German, to a wider audience. Supporters helped, including Philip Melanchthon and Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. And of course there were his opponents such as Johannes Cochlaeus, who wrote the first biography on him, and Emperor Charles V. The Papal authorities saw Luther as a ‘notorious heretic’, and he was excommunicated at the Diet of Worms in 1521. <br />This exhibition, <em>500 Years On. Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation</em>, is a celebratory one that not only acknowledges Luther’s provocative action back in October 1517, but also the result, the spread of Reform that followed across Europe. The major players in this drama include Huldrych Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox, and Henry VIII, who was instrumental in starting the English Reformation. There was also the inevitable back-lash, those involved in the ‘Catholic’ Counter Reformation. On-going Catholic and Protestant differences resulted in the wholesale persecution of various sects, the English Civil War, and internal religious and social strife throughout many European countries. Luther’s legacy continues to impact the world today. <br />Thanks to the Department of Theology and Religion, especially Professor Murray Rae, the Rev Dr Peter Matheson, and Dr Brett Knowles

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Thomas Carlyle said of John Knox (c.1514–1572) that he was ‘one Scotchman to whom, of all others, his country and the world owe a debt’. Initially a Catholic, Knox came under the influence of George Wishart, a Protestant preacher. In 1551, he moved to London and helped implement the English Reformation. When in exile in Geneva, he met John Calvin; he eventually wrote a defence of Calvin’s doctrine of predestination. On returning to Scotland, and with the support from Scottish Protestant nobles, Knox engineered the anti-French, anti-Catholic revolution that saw Scotland embrace Protestantism in 1560. This is a later printing of his <em>History</em>, first published in 1587.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Not even his past role as tutor could save John Fisher (1469-1535) from the wrath of Henry. He was an opponent of Luther and on one occasion (11th February 1526), at the King’s command, he preached a sermon outside St Paul’s Cathedral against Luther and his writings. However, Fisher was a strong advocate of Papal authority, and when Henry tried to divorce Catherine of Aragon, Fisher became the Queen’s chief supporter. Fisher fell out of favour. He was arrested in March 1533 for opposing the divorce and for refusing to take the oath of succession, which acknowledged the issue of Henry and Anne as legitimate heirs to the throne. He was imprisoned in the Tower and executed on 22nd June 1535. This edition of Fisher’s <em>Assertions on Luther</em> was printed by the Paris-based female printer Charlotte Guillard (d.1557).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Calvin’s coolly rational theology was complemented by a passionate concern for social, as well as religious, reformation. On his recall to Geneva in 1541, Calvin presented a proposal (the ‘Ecclesiastical Ordinances’) to the city council aimed at completing the city’s religious and moral transformation. Under these new regulations, attendance at sermons was compulsory; all inhabitants had to renounce the Roman faith on penalty of expulsion from the city; nobody could possess crucifixes or other articles associated with the Roman worship; fasting was prohibited; dancing was frowned upon; and it was forbidden to give non-Biblical names to children. This disciplined public morality reflected both a social concern and a real network of caring for people’s souls. Calvinism – a reformed Protestantism – was born; synonymous with ‘hard work, thrift, and proper moral conduct’. This is a modern edition of Calvin’s commentary on the Prophet Daniel.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Münster Rebellion occurred between February 1534 and June 1535; an abortive attempt by radical Anabaptists (so-called ‘re-baptisers’; <em>Wiedertäufer</em>), to form a commune in that city; it was to be the ‘New Jerusalem’. Crushed, it was the last open revolt in the aftermath of the Lutheran Reformation. Persecution of the sect followed. <em>Motvs Monasteriensis Libri Decem</em> (1546) is an epic poem based on Johannes Fabricus’s first-hand knowledge of the troubles in Münster.
