Conference proceedings published

The conference volume on Abraham Calov (1612-1686), edited together with Matthias Meinhardt, has finally been published. The Wittenberg theologian has so far been regarded in historiography as particularly reprehensible due to his controversial theological writings. Yet he was one of the most literarily productive theologians of his time, whose works were widely received. Integrated into wide-ranging networks, he was particularly suited to analyzing academic and church-political communication and social spaces. In two interdisciplinary working meetings of the Wittenberg Research Library for the History of the Reformation in 2019 and 2024, theological questions were addressed alongside art, social, media and music history approaches to the work of this Wittenberg theologian.
