Hardcover. [9], 166 p.; front. (port.), 23 line drawings by author in text; 21 cm. `After the lapse of sixteen years poignant grief has given way to mellowed pain, and time permits a judgment more detached. The lustre of his life has not been thereby tarnished or unduly burnished. He wrought with what he had as best he might. He aimed at the most perfect sermon, rose or rooster, that he could write, grow or breed. And he aimed in himself for perfection of character with no illustions as to attainment. Life was for him unwavering warfare in which for every victory he gave God praise. He kept the faith and was able to face the buffeting and bereavements of life because he walked as seeing Him that is invisible.' (p. 165) Good lt. dampstained orig. blue cloth in torn green dj.

Hardcover. 2nd printing. xii, 307 pages; 62 illus. in text; 23 cm. (L. P. Stone lectures ; 1967) From the preface: `Erasmus of Rotterdam has never had his due. The reason is in part that he founded no church to perpetuate his memory. I have long been drawn to Erasmus on a number of counts. I share his aversion to contention, his abhorrence of war, his wistful skepticism with respect to that which transcends the verifiable; at the same time I am warmed by the glow of his piety. I am convinced of the soundness of the place assigned by him to the classical alongside of the Judaeo-Christian in the heritage of the Western world. I relish his whimsicality and satire. I endorse his conviction that language is still the best medium for the transmission of thought, language not merely read but heard with cadence and rhythm as well as clarity and precision. Yet I should probably never have undertaken this assignment were Erasmus lacking in contemporary relevance. He is important for the dialogue which he desired never to see closed between Catholics and Protestants. He is important for the strategy of reform, violent or non-violent. He was resolved to abstain from violence alike of word and deed, but was not sure that significant reform could be achieved sine tumultu. He would neither incite nor abet it. The more intolerant grew the contenders, the more he recoiled and strove to mediate. He ended as the battered liberal. Can it ever be otherwise? This is precisely the problem of our time.'

Copertina morbida. Condition: Ottima. 10. ed. 276 p. ; 18 x 11 cm. Piccola biblioteca Einaudi, Geografia. Storia, 73. Questa breve storia della Riforma protestante è opera di un grande storico, che ha dedicato approfonditi studi a quell'evento, redigendo inoltre una monografia di particolare rilievo su Lutero. Condotta sulla base di un'informazione e di una preparazione che Delio Cantimori ha definito nella prefazione «impareggiabile», quest'opera studia la rivoluzione religiosa che la Riforma di fatto costituí, considerandone altresí le implicazioni politiche, culturali, economiche e sociali. E la studia non in relazione a una di quelle tendenze o di quelle chiese in cui essa si articolò o cristallizzò, ma nella sua unità e nella sua molteplicità al tempo stesso. Cosí, accanto al luteranesimo vien dato adeguato rilievo all'esperienza svizzera, venata di umanesimo in Zwingli e sistemata poi universalisticamente dal francese Calvino; al carattere peculiare della corruzione della Chiesa anglicana; a movimenti, come l'anabattismo di Thomas Müntzer, che toccarono soprattutto artigiani e contadini o che, come quello sociniano, tanto influirono sullo svolgimento delle idee dei secoli successivi. Bainton, studioso e abile narratore, ci ha dato cosí una storia viva, documentata e al tempo stesso appassionata, un libro di studio e, insieme, di grande lettura. Prefazione di Delio Cantimori. Titolo originale dell'opera: «The Reformation of the Sixteenth Century». Traduzione di Francesco Lo Bue. Appendice bibliografica a cura di Leandro Perini. Brossura editoriale, coperta in cartoncino flessibile plastificato.
Copertina rigida. Condition: Buona. 2. ed. XXIX, 379 p., [1] c. di tav. : ill. ; 22 x 15 cm. Biblioteca di cultura storica, 65. In questa ricostruzione lo studioso inglese Roland Bainton mette a fuoco, al di fuori di ogni schema confessionale, di ogni intento apologetico o polemico, la figura e la vita di Lutero nella loro complessità e nel loro drammatico svolgimento. L'autore ha guardato particolarmente all'esperienza fondamentale di Lutero, che fu soprattutto (se non esclusivamente) religiosa, senza però trascurare gli altri aspetti della sua personalità e della sua opera: "profeta" del popolo tedesco, teologo, predicatore, scrittore. Prefazione di Delio Cantimori. Titolo originale dell'opera: Here I stand. A life of Martin Luther. Traduzione di Aldo Comba. Legatura editoriale con coperta rigida in tela verde, titolo impresso in bianco al dorso, muto il piatto, manca la sovraccoperta editoriale, le pagine interne sono in ottimo stato.
