158th New Year Bulletin HVSG Reformation Volume 2

After the 157th edition, the 158th New Year's publication of the Historical Society of the Canton of St. Gallen is also dedicated to the Reformation in Eastern Switzerland. Numerous authors explore the effects of the Reformation during the crucial years from 1525 to 1531. The following topics are addressed: Zwingli, Vadian, iconoclasm, Jews, women, nuns of St. Catherine, Anabaptists, marriage courts, the reception of the Reformation in Eastern Switzerland, changes in the lordships, and memory culture. Various contributions focus on the consequences of confessional separation after 1531. The articles are presented in such a way and richly illustrated that they also appeal to historically interested readers.
