Description

Explore a unique chapter of European history with Incombustible Lutheran Books in Early Modern Germany. Published by Routledge as part of their research in Early Modern History, this book examines the fascinating phenomenon of books that survived both intentional and accidental fires in Lutheran Germany from the 1620s to the mid-eighteenth century. During this era, unburnt books became significant objects of interest for a wide range of people, including princes, publishers, clergymen, and laymen. This work investigates how people of the time responded to events that seemed to defy logic and appeared potentially supernatural. You will learn how contemporaries worked to preserve these surviving texts, recorded the stories of their survival, and debated their deeper meaning. This study provides a window into the mindset of early modern Europeans. It captures a society in transition, moving away from traditional medieval religious views while navigating a world that was not yet fully accustomed to modern scientific thought. It is an essential resource for students, historians, and readers interested in the history of Germany and the cultural role of the written word.
