Lazarus Spengler (1479-1534) Synopsis

English summary: Using the town clerk of Nurnberg, Lazarus Spengler (1479-1534), as an example, Berndt Hamm examines the connection between humanism and Reformation, religiousness of the citizens and Christian faith, confession and politics, biblical standardization and public justification for laws. In ten studies, the author analyzes Spengler's social, cultural and Reformational surroundings as well as the man himself, for example Spengler as Durer's friend and Luther's apologist, as one of the leading advocates and creators of the Reformation at the imperial level, as a representative, well versed in theology, of the lay element in the Reformation, as the person pulling the strings of a secret religious policy of the town clerks and as a pioneer in the creation of confession in the Reformation. For the first time, there is a text supplement containing an edited version of the Spengler book of family events from 1468 to 1570.


German description: Am Beispiel des Nurnberger Ratsschreibers Lazarus Spengler (1479-1534) untersucht Berndt Hamm die Zusammenhange von Humanismus und Reformation, burgerlicher Religiositat und christlichem Glauben, Bekenntnis und Politik, biblischer Normierung und offentlicher Rechtsbegrundung. In zehn Studien beleuchtet er einerseits Spenglers soziales, kulturelles und reformationsgeschichtliches Umfeld, andererseits seine Person selbst: z.B. als Freund Durers und Apologeten Luthers, als fuhrenden Advokaten und Gestalter der Reformation auf Reichsebene, als theologisch versierten Reprasentanten des Laienelements in der Reformation, als Drahtzieher einer geheimen Religionspolitik der Stadtschreiber und als Pionier der reformatorischen Bekenntnisbildung. In einer Textbeilage wird erstmals das Spenglersche Familienbuchlein ediert, das von 1468 bis 1570 reicht.
