A major multi-volume historical work by the German historian Leopold von Ranke (1795?1886), first published between 1839 and 1847 (six volumes in German). An English translation by Sarah Austin appeared in the mid-1840s in three volumes, which is what this set is, here. The work examines the German Reformation primarily as a political and constitutional process intertwined with religious change, rather than as a purely theological or biographical study of Martin Luther. Ranke traces events from the late 15th century through the mid-16th century, with the core narrative centered on the period from Luther?s emergence (c. 1517) to the consolidation of confessional divisions and early religious settlements.Ranke, a pioneer of modern source-based historiography, emphasizes critical use of archival documents and seeks to show ?how it actually was? (wie es eigentlich gewesen). He presents the Reformation as a national German movement that challenged papal authority and interacted with the Empire?s fragmented political structure. While attentive to religious ideas, he focuses more on the political, institutional, and diplomatic dimensions?the struggle between Empire and Papacy evolving into the contest between Catholicism and Protestantism, and the resulting transformation of the German constitution. The work is regarded as one of Ranke?s major achievements and a foundational text in modern Reformation historiography.ABOUT THIS SET: This second edition is bound in matching light brown leather.
