Abstract: "This collection of primary sources is specifically designed to accompany Carter Lindberg's European Reformations text, but can be used alongside any other text on the European Reformations." "The sources, selected from medieval and sixteenth-century texts, include not only the major institutional and theological writings of the time but also popular expressions of religious and political grievances (Flugschriften, poems, satires, sermons) and women's contributions. The collection is particularly notable for its comprehensive coverage and its inclusion of major portions of significant works." "This book will be useful for students, teachers and scholars, bringing together as it does documents that are not easily accessible elsewhere, as they are scattered through many collections of primary materials; also because it offers students their first direct engagement with the participants in the European Reformations."--Jacket.
