Download or read book Humanism Reform and the Reformation written by Brendan Bradshaw and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1989-01-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assembles ten special studies, each devoted to an aspect of Fisher's multifaceted career or to exploring the intellectual and religious outlook of someone who was at the same time a moderniser, a reformer and an opponent of the Reformation. John Fisher's career provides an illuminating perspective on English religious and intellectual history in a crucial phase of development. As a churchman he became the foremost preacher in England, issuing a call to ecclesiastical reform and personal repentance that echoed the call of Savonarola at Florence. At the same time he provides an early example of the pastoral bishop that was to become the ideal of both the Reformation and the Counter Reformation. Finally in the crisis that paved the way for the English Reformation, he became the leading defender of Queen Catherine against the divorce suit of Henry VIII. He was among the small band who were executed in 1535 as conscientious objectors to the oaths of Succession and Royal Ecclesiastical Supremacy. He has been venerated as a Catholic martyr ever since.

Download or read book Reform before the Reformation Vincenzo Querini and the Religious Renaissance in Italy written by Stephen David Bowd and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important aspect of the Italian Renaissance was church reform. This book examines the nature of that reform - especially in Venice, Florence and Rome - as viewed through the unpublished manuscripts of a Venetian nobleman who became a Camaldolese hermit: Vincenzo Querini (1478-1514). This book sets Querini's personal journey to reform in the context of Venetian society, as well as against the backdrop of political crisis, cultural revival, and monastic renaissance in Italy generally. Querini's attempt to reform himself, the Roman Catholic Church, and the whole of Christendom are of interest to historians seeking to revise the chronology of early modern church reform since he employed a range of scriptural, humanist, conciliar, monastic, and mystical methods that had medieval antecedents but were also imitated by reformers after the Reformation.

In the introduction, Bartlett and McGlynn identify humanism as the central expression of the European Renaissance and explain how this idea migrated from Italy to northern Europe.

Download or read book Humanism and the Reform of Sacred Music in Early Modern England written by Hyun-Ah Kim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Merbecke (c.1505-c.1585) is most famous as the composer of the first musical setting of the English liturgy, The Booke of Common Praier Noted (BCPN), published in 1550. Not only was Merbecke a pioneer in setting English prose to music but also the compiler of the first Concordance of the whole English Bible (1550) and of the first English encyclopaedia of biblical and theological studies, A Booke of Notes and Common Places (1581). By situating Merbecke and his work within a broader intellectual and religio-cultural context of Tudor England, this book challenges the existing studies of Merbecke based on the narrow theological approach to the Reformation. Furthermore, it suggests a re-thinking of the prevailing interpretative framework of Reformation musical history. On the basis of the new contextual study of Merbecke, this book seeks to re-interpret his work, particularly BCPN, in the light of humanist rhetoric. It sees Merbecke as embodying the ideal of the 'Christian-musical orator', demonstrating that BCPN is an Anglican epitome of the Erasmian synthesis of eloquence, theology and music. The book thus depicts Merbecke as a humanist reformer, through re-evaluation of his contributions to the developments of vernacular music and literature in early modern England. As such it will be of interest, not only to church musicians, but also to historians of the Reformation and students of wider Tudor culture.
Download or read book The Confessionalization of Humanism in Reformation Germany written by Erika Rummel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-08-17 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the impact of the Reformation debate in Germany on the most prominent intellectual movement of the time: humanism. Although it is true that humanism influenced the course of the Reformation, says Erika Rummel, the dynamics of the relationship are better described by saying that humanism was co-opted, perhaps even exploited, in the religious debate.
Download or read book Humanism and Catholic Reform written by Francesco C. Cesareo and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1990 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book probes the link between Renaissance humanism and reform ideology in sixteenth-century Italy through a study of the efforts of the Benedictine abbot and cardinal, Gregorio Cortese. Focusing upon Cortese's program for monastic renewal and his place in the broader movement for Church reform, Francesco Cesareo illustrates how humanism served as Cortese's point of departure. Through a careful examination of Cortese's correspondence this study not only concludes that humanism was at the service of religion, but also evidences the existence of a positive movement of renewal in the Catholic Church.
