Excerpt from History of the Great Reformation of the Sixteenth Century, in Germany, Switzerland, Etc This rapidity is inexplicable to those who see in this great event only a reform; who make it simply an act of Critical judgment, consisting in a choice of doctrines - the abandoning of some, the preserving others, and combining those retained, so as to make of them a new code of doctrine.

Excerpt from History of the Great Reformation of the Sixteenth Century in Germany, Switzerland, &C, Vol. 1: Eighteenth Thousand The su denness of its action is one of these characters of the Reforma tion. The great revolutions which have drawn after them the fall of a monarchy, or an entire change of political system, or launched the human mind in a new career of developement, have been slowly and gradually prepared; the power to be displaced has long been mine and its princi pal supports have given way. It was even thus at the introduction of Christianity. But the Reformation, at the first glance, seems to ofi'er a difi'erexit aspect. The Church of Rome is seen, under Leo X., in all its strength and glory. A monk s aks, -and in the half of Europe this power and glory suddenly crum ls into dust. This revolution reminds us of the words by which the Son of God announces his second advent: As the lightning cometh forth from the west and shineth unto the east, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

In The Reformation of Historical Thought, Mark Lotito re-examines the development of Western historiography by concentrating on Philipp Melanchthon (1497–1560) and his universal history, Carion’s Chronicle (1532). With the Chronicle, Melanchthon overturned the medieval papal view of history, and he offered a distinctly Wittenberg perspective on the foundations of the “modern” European world. Through its immense popularity, the Chronicle assumed extraordinary significance across the divides of language, geography and confession. Indeed, Melanchthon’s intervention would become the point of departure for theologians, historians and jurists to debate the past, present and future of the Holy Roman Empire. Through the Chronicle, the Wittenberg reformation of historical thought became an integral aspect of European intellectual culture for the centuries that followed.
