1506 1555 Historian Johannes Scholar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Johannes Sleidanus (1506-1555), a renowned German scholar and historian of the Renaissance period. Sleidanus was born in Treves, in the Electorate of Trier, and studied law at the University of Louvain in Belgium. However, his true passion lay in history, and he is best known for his seminal work "De Statis Ecclesiasticis," or "On Ecclesiastical Politics," published in 1550. In this groundbreaking text, Sleidanus challenged the traditional view of the papacy's temporal power and argued for the separation of church and state. He also provided a comprehensive account of the political and religious landscape of Europe during the Reformation, making "De Statis Ecclesiasticis" an invaluable source for historians. Sleidanus' other significant works include "Quasestiones Quodlibetales," a collection of theological and philosophical questions, and "De Concordia et Discordia in Ecclesia," which explored the causes of the religious divisions in Europe. Despite his progressive ideas, Sleidanus faced persecution for his views, and he was forced to flee from the Spanish Netherlands to Strasbourg, where he spent the remainder of his life. He continued to write and teach, and his works remained influential long after his death. This print, created in the 16th century, captures the intellectual intensity and scholarly dedication of Johannes Sleidanus. With his piercing gaze and quill pen in hand, he embodies the spirit of the Renaissance, a time of exploration, discovery, and intellectual inquiry. Sleidanus' legacy as a scholar and historian continues to inspire generations of scholars and students, and his works remain an essential part of the historical record of the European Reformation.
