Book Description
The Chancery of God is the first English language study of the city of Magdeburg's resistance to Emperor Charles V's drive to consolidate Habsburg hegemony and reinstitute uniform Roman Catholic worship throughout Germany. The book offers an analysis of the flood of printed material published in Magdeburg during the crucial years of 1546-1551 articulating a broad spectrum of arguments for resistance. More than this, however, the pamphlets and broadsides suggest a coherent identity and worldview that is characteristically and self-consciously Protestant.

When various members of the Rosanada Archdiocesan Chancery are brutally murdered, Cristian Forte, homicide detective for the Rosanada Police Department, is determined to find the killer.

Agrarian Problems in the Sixteenth Century and After
Author: Eric Kerridge
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136580646
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Presenting a full and precise description of all legal ties between landlord and tenant in early modern England, Agrarian Problems in the Sixteenth Century and After re-examines one of the key issues in English agrarian history - the question of the legal security of the copyholder. Comparing historical records and literary evidence, Agrarian Problems in the Sixteenth Century and After reprints much of the important 1969 edition of the book, and asserts that: * customary tenants enjoyed legal security in and before the sixteenth century * enclosures proceeded legally, without oppression, and in much the same form (whether ratified in parliament or not) throughout the whole period * depopulation was less extensive than sometimes supposed and that such depopulation as there was often proved economically profitable and not without social benefit. When first published in 1969, this fascinating book represented a unique viewpoint that affected, and in some cases reversed, much accepted opinion. As a landmark work in a highly important area of English agrarian history, it still has considerable impact today.
