Tidelines to a number of page edges, some of which were mounted, in general preserving the running topics in the margins, but a few pages have lost a small outer portion of the topical comments. Translated by Ihon Daus (A translation of De statu religionis et reipublicae, Carolo Quinto Caesare, commentarii.). (ESTC Citation # S115937); (STC #19848a). Sleidane's COMMENTARIES "provide the first account of the history of the Protestant Church from Luther's 95 Theses in 1517 until the Diet of Augsburg in 1555.Overnight they became the manual of early Reformation history, and would remain so until well into the nineteenth and early twentieth century." [He has been called] "the father of Reformation history" (Donald Kelly "Johann Sleidan and the Origins of History as a Profession" in the Journal of Modern History, 52, 577-598. pp. 577 and 597) Best history of the German Reformation, carefully and objectively observed, until the 18th century (Religious and Political History of the Reign of Charles V).

(from "Johan Sleidan and the Protestant Vision of History" by Alexandra Kess. 2008, Ashgate; 2016, Routledge. (Che Sara Sara, or Whatever Will Be, Will Be) ". Used to express a personal philosophy of fatalism and acceptance of the future. Most notably quoted by Christopher Marlowe in his 1604 play Doctor Faustus. Day, .has been called "the master printer of the English Reformation", and "the leading English printer in the latter half of the Sixteenth Century" ("Patents and Patronage: The Life and Career of John Day, Tudor Printer, by Elizabeth Evenden.). But the important fact to remember was that it was not only Day's superior skill as a master of the printing craft, but his natural gift for salesmanship, his willingness to take on particularly complex assignments, and then for attracting apprpropriate customers, that led to and defined his enormous success; he had the knack.…
