A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 9 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and prolific works of Ulric Brecht, a German scholar born into nobility. He inherited a passion for learning from his ancestors, who held prestigious positions in the university and senate of Strasbourg. Brecht's early education revolved around Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, but he also mastered French, Spanish, and Italian for pleasure. By the age of fifteen, his exceptional rhetorical skills had earned him the honor of delivering a public Latin speech. The author meticulously traces Brecht's academic journey, highlighting his role in the Senate of Strasbourg and his influential contributions to public affairs. The book also sheds light on the legal customs of the reformed religion in Strasbourg, where divorce was permitted in cases of adultery. Drawing from primary sources, the author presents Brecht's translation of Bishop Antoine de Laval's book on adulterous marriages, which played a pivotal role in shaping Strasbourg's marriage laws. Additionally, Brecht's translation of Dez's treatise on the reunion of Protestants and Catholics offers insights into the complex religious landscape of the time. This comprehensive study of Brecht's life and work provides valuable context for understanding the intellectual and social currents that shaped his era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282015466_0
