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.
Would the Protestant Reformation have been as successful and widespread without the technology of printing? Probably not. Luther believed printing was ‘heaven sent’ to ‘spread God’s word and banish error’ (Pettegree, 2015). He certainly put it to good use. In the decade after 1517, in a battle of the doctrines, Protestant and Catholic, about 7,000,000 pamphlets were printed. Luther was the author of a quarter of them. Each pamphlet was reprinted multiple times in various parts of Germany. The word spread quickly and Luther made sure to write in German to reach a larger audience. In fact, printing in the vernacular, as opposed to Latin, became more commonplace as this German-language volume by Catholic preacher and Reformation opponent, Johann Faber (d. 1558) of Heilbronn, attests.

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.

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.
About 1523, William Tyndale (c.1494-1536) began translating the <em>New Testament</em> into English, fulfilling his mission to make the Bible accessible to the common English reader. Tyndale knew he was breaking the rules, undermining the Catholic Church’s grip on both the access to and interpretation of Scriptures. Like Luther, he believed there was no longer a need for an intercessor between the people and God. Traditionally the scriptures were in Latin, and under the 1408 Constitutions of Oxford, it was forbidden to translate the Bible into the native tongue. Tyndale’s English translations appeared between 1525 and 1536 and were classed as ‘heretical’. They were banned and burnt; a fate Tyndale also suffered on 6th October 1536. This black-letter facsimile of the 1536 <em>New Testament</em> shows the Gospels of St John: ‘In the begynnyng was the woorde…’.

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.
Between 1545 and 1563, Church officials gathered at Trent to address doctrinal issues, and condemn Protestantism. Initiated by Pope Paul III (1534-49), the Council of Trent was an important reforming event that helped reassert traditional Catholic beliefs. The city became the centre for Rome’s Counter Reformation.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<em>Reformatio Legum Ecclesiasticarum</em> was drawn up in 1552 by a commission headed by Thomas Cranmer (1489–1556), Archbishop of Canterbury, and a leader of the English Reformation. First published in 1571, it had later additions and amendments by Matthew Parker, and John Foxe, the martyrologist. Not only did it codify, thus justify, Henry’s earlier divorce from Catherine of Aragon, but it also provided a foundation for the legalisation of divorce. It established that marriage was not a sacrament, and that an innocent person might again marry in the case of adultery, absolute desertion, protracted absence, mortal enmities, or, cruelty. The code was never ratified by Parliament. This is a later reprint (1640) of a book that is a fundamental work to the English Reformation.

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.
From the English Reformation on, there was a very real fear of Catholic Spain. The Stuart kings did not help. All of them married Catholics; each suspected of favouring their wives’ religion. Anxieties intensified between Catholics and Protestants. And with the variety of splinter groups under the ‘Protestant’ banner, there were the inevitable ructions. John White (1590-1645), Long Parliament MP for Southwark, was in charge of the committee investigating clergy immorality, replacing scandalous and malignant clergy with Puritan ministers. White’s <em>First Century of Scandalous Malignant Priests</em> (1643) earned him the nickname ‘Century White’. Robert Chestlin, a Royalist author and minister, attacked the purging, and in his <em>Persecutio Undecima</em> listed some of those unfortunates who were ‘sequestered, turned out, plundered, imprisoned, molested, abused,…and killed.’

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The French Wars of Religion (the Huguenot Wars) were fought between Roman Catholics and Huguenots (Reformed Protestants) in France in the 16th century. The Bartholomew Massacre left an indelible stain on Catholic-Protestant relations. It started in Paris on 23rd August 1572, with Catholics tasked to kill many leading Huguenots, including Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, their political leader. An assassination attempt on him had occurred two days before. Slaughter prevailed, with thousands dying. Although François Dubois did not witness the event, he depicts in this painting Admiral Coligny’s body hanging out of a window at back right. To the back left, Catherine de’ Medici is shown emerging from the Château du Louvre to inspect a heap of bodies.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1417, delegates at the Council of Constance (1414-18) elected Martin V as Pope, effectively ending the Great Schism (1378-1417). This unification not only re-confirmed Rome (and the Vatican) as the Papal centre, but it prompted a revitalisation: Nicholas V (1447-55), the first Renaissance pope, planned a new basilica and palace; Sixtus IV (1471-84) and Alexander VI (1492-1503) contributed to the rebuild and revival of Rome. After election, each new pope would go to St Peter’s for crowning; the Basilica was traditionally the burial site of Peter, the first Pope. This woodcut by painter and printmaker Urs Graf (c. 1494- 1528), cut in 1512, depicts Apostles Peter and Paul: St Peter carries the keys of the kingdom of heaven (as noted in Matthew 16:18); St Paul a long sword.

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.

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.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Puritans wanted to reform the established Church of England by getting rid of Catholic practices. They were often lampooned as ‘busybodies’ and ‘killjoys’ because they were seen as morally upright and self-controlling, with strict adherence to religious matters such as observing the Lord’s Day (Sunday). They became so powerful that in 1642 they plunged England into Civil War. The beheading of King Charles I of England (ironically a loyal Anglican), not only symbolised Calvinist resistance theories put into practice, but resulted in the establishment of a Puritan state in the British Isles until 1660. Here are the last few sentences said by Charles before he lost his head.

Printed by local printer Johann Rhau-Grunenberg, these points of disputation, in Latin, were a provocative attack on indulgences; forty-four made direct reference to the Pope or the papacy. The theses were posted to initiate scholarly debate. This page shows propositions 28 to 48.

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.

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.
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.
At the Council of Trent, the Society of Jesus was asked to undertake the impossible task of bringing Protestantism back into the fold of the ‘Mother Church’. The Jesuits actually became an integral part of the Counter Reformation, and in this role, they revitalised Catholicism. With their hard-line approach and relentless suppression of heresy, they stemmed Protestant successes, and were ever ready to combat heresies such as Luther’s ‘faith alone’ (<em>sola fide</em>) doctrine. John Evelyn’s translation of <em>Les Provinciales</em> or,<em> The Mystery of Jesuitisme</em>, written by mathematician Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), contains a superb engraving of Ignatius Loyola (founder of the Society) and four other Jesuits. Pascal was a Jansenist, a movement within the Catholic Church, yet opposed by many in the hierarchy, especially the Jesuits.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Here Weiditz the Younger (1495-c.1537) satirises the lansquenets, mercenary soldiers in the wars of the Middle Ages. One such fellow is depicted as being pot-bellied, having a huge nose and jutting chin, lacks a sword yet still wears the scabbard, and is still holding his halberd. Behind him, Sancho Panza-like, is the baggage train boy, a dwarf-like copy of his master. The text conveys the message that these guys are losers and dropouts, who after squandering everything (home and land), are now out to make money as mercenaries. This leaflet was printed four years before the Peasants’ War of 1525.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Johann Gutenberg’s ‘invention’ of the printing press in Mainz, Germany, in the 1450s, enabled the dissemination of thoughts, ideas, and writings to a much greater audience. Leaflets or broadsheets (<em>flugblatt</em>), like early xylographic block books, were another way to disseminate ideas cheaply. This colourful ‘Battle of Mice and Cats’ by the unknown German Master was printed in 1500. It depicts mice (the common folk) planning to storm the castle of the cats (the ruling class); anti-feudal sentiment was a popular one in the 1470s onwards. The text at top right reads: ‘When you have dog, cat and mice in the same house like an old man and a young wife they rarely can live without arguments.’
