Item ArtikelDie Bücherzensur in der Schweiz von der Reformation bis 1600Die Bücherzensur in der Schweiz von der Reformation bis 1600(Theologischer Verlag Zürich, 2018) Scheidegger, Christian; Zwingliverein (Zürich)Printing and the Reformation challenged book censorship in a new dimension. The Swiss confederates did not simply adopt the papal and imperial politics of censorship but discussed own solutions, which were subsequently implemented by the particular governments in their own interests. Committees of censorships were established within the protestant cities of Zurich, Basle and Berne for proving texts before printing. This official measure was intended to avoid conflicts with other governments and to guarantee domestic peace as well. The practice however was somehow fragmentary, mainly before the middle of the 16th century. Numerous complaints were made, prominently by the catholic confederates. The complaining party demanded usually to sequester the controversial publications and to punish the accused printers and authors as a restoration of the violated honour. The Swiss Diet served repeatedly as a mediation body in settling these conflicts. The city authorities conducted investigations against printers and authors, who violated the censorship rules. Unlike printing, the authorities of the protestant cities rarely controlled bookselling, whereas the catholic governments forbade trade and possession of protestant literature. In accordance with these strict regulations they confiscated frequently forbidden books and had them burnt by the executioner.Item ArtikelBuchgeschenke, Patronage und protestantische AllianzenBuchgeschenke, Patronage und protestantische Allianzen(Theologischer Verlag Zürich, 2017) Scheidegger, Christian; Zwingliverein (Zürich)The so-called Bürgerbibliothek, the first public library in Zurich, was founded in 1629, partly to protect the reformed community in dangerous times. It was made possible by private initiatives and occasionally supported by the city’s authorities. Although lacking public funds, the collection expanded considerably thanks to donations, both from private citizens and from foreign visitors. Most donations and gifts, consisting primarily of books and various objects for the cabinet of curiosities, were meticulously registered in an illuminated manuscript. The donation book is an interesting source of information not only for provenance history, but also for researchers of cultural and social history, as the recorded entries for theologians, merchants, politicians, diplomats and refugees reveal numerous social connections. It is argued that the book donations were not merely voluntary, but that they bear witness to a network of legal deposit, patronage systems and a fascinating gift economy.Item Artikel[Rezension zu:] Maximilian von Habsburg, Catholic and Protestant Translations of the Imitatio Christi, 1425–1650: From Late Medieval Classic to Early Modern Bestseller, Farnham: Ashgate, 2011[Rezension zu:] Maximilian von Habsburg, Catholic and Protestant Translations of the Imitatio Christi, 1425–1650: From Late Medieval Classic to Early Modern Bestseller, Farnham: Ashgate, 2011(Theologischer Verlag Zürich, 2013) Scheidegger, Christian; Zwingliverein (Zürich)Item ArtikelDie theosophische und pietistische Literatur der Gichtelianer im Kanton ZürichDie theosophische und pietistische Literatur der Gichtelianer im Kanton Zürich(Theologischer Verlag Zürich, 2014) Scheidegger, Christian; Zwingliverein (Zürich)From 1814 Carl Joseph von Campagne lived in Pfäffikon, in canton Zurich, where he was responsible for the spread of the theosophy of Johann Georg Gichtel. His contribution resulted in the establishment of a community of several hundred »Gichtelians« (Gichtelianer) in the canton. In 1898 this community formed itself into a society called the »Friends of the late Herr von Campagne« (Freunde des seligen Herrn von Campagne). The literary estate of the society, which was dissolved in 2001, is now held by the Antiquarischen Gesellschaft Pfäffikon ZH and the Zentralbibliothek in Zurich. This article provides a list of the titles of the printed works in the collection and, additionally, offers an overview of the beginnings of the theosophical movement in Switzerland.Item Artikel»Wider die unsinnigen Wiedertäufer«»Wider die unsinnigen Wiedertäufer«(Theologischer Verlag Zürich, 2012) Scheidegger, Christian; Zwingliverein (Zürich)The Johann Jakob Simler collection at the Zurich Zentralbibliothek contains a document against Anabaptism that is virtually unknown to modern Reformation history research. The undated poem was by Jörg Syz, who was a former chaplain at the Zurich Fraumunster. The poem provides moral endorsement to its recipient, the pastor Hans Brennwald, who debated with the Anabaptists in Hinwil 1525. The present article addresses the beginnings of the Anabaptist movement in the region of Gruningen on the basis of primary sources and provides an edition of the rediscovered poem.
