The Confessionalization of Humanism in Reformation Germany ("The Skepticism of Agrippa of Nettesheim" begins on p. 61)
by Erika Rummel. 218 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

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.
