Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 125: Martin Bucer, Constans defensio. Hermann von Wied, Archbishop of Cologne, Apologia, Appellatio contra capitulum Coloniense
Description
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- MS 125 contains sixteenth-century copies of Apologia and Appellatio contra capitulum Coloniense by Hermann von Wied, Archbishop of Cologne (d. 1551) and Martin Bucer's Constans defensio. The entire volume is probably in the hand of Martin Brem, Bucer's amanuensis, who also added a dedication to Matthew Parker. Martin Bucer (1491-1551) was a German Reformation theologian who moved to England in 1549 as a result of Archbishop Cranmer's invitation and Bucer's refusal to accept the Augsburg Interim (the temporary agreement brokered between the Catholics and Protestants at the Diet of Augsburg in 1548). Hermann von Wied was Archbishop of Cologne from 1515 to 1546. Initially hostile to Luther and the reformers, he eventually became sympathetic to the reformers' cause and was forced to resign his archbishopric.

- Note
- In hoc commentario condendo tantum elaboravit D. Martinus Bucerus, ut aliquoties D. Mattheo Parkero viva voce Cantabrigiae testatus sit, se totum hoc opere (si unquam vel ingenio valuerit vel diligentia vel eruditione) exhibuisse. Cujus rei periculum si diligens lector facere velit, primum in manum sumat eum librum quern ipse nomine Hermanni Coloniensis archiepiscopi scripsit, cui titulum fecit Reformatio Coloniensis ecclesiae, secundo legat Coloniensium scriptum quod Anti(di)dagma vocant, postremo hoc responsum evolvat diligenter conferat et judicet.
