Continuity and Change : The Harvest of Late-Medieval and Reformation History. Essays Presented to Heiko A. Oberman on his 70th Birthday, 2000, XVI, 460 p., 14 ill., rel. -

Offered here for the first time, a wide variety of specialists explore continuity and change in pre-modern Europe. Collectively, they contribute to the current historiographical debates about continuity and discontinuity between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era. The themes reflect eminent scholar H. A. Oberman´s vast range of interests in religious, cultural and political history across a broad chronological and conceptual spectrum that seeks to overcome the limits of the divide between Medieval and Early Modern History. These essays demonstrate the continuing utility of Heiko A. Oberman's insistence that studies of the late middle ages and the Reformations should be connected. Anyone interested in these periods will want to read this book.
