Johannes Calvijn. De man en zijn tijd

Balans, 1991. Paperback. Pp: 318. Wie was de gevreesde, beruchte, verguisde én verheerlijkte Johannes Calvijn, de man die zijn naam gaf aan een complex van karaktereigenschappen: het calvinisme? Iedereen weet wie hij is en niemand kent hem. Zijn tijdgenoten Machiavelli, Thomas More, Erasmus, Michelangelo, Copernicus, Cervantes en Shakespeare, het zijn voor ons levende en levendige figuren. Maar Johannes Calvijn is eigenlijk een grote onbekende. Hij is de uitvinder van het moderne kapitalisme genoemd, van de discipline, van het arbeidsethos, van activisme, revolutie en democratie. De historicus W.J. Bouwsma is de eerste die werkelijk is doorgedrongen in het leven van Calvijn. In een absoluut meesterwerk portretteert hij Calvijn, zijn tragisch leven in het dramatische tijdsgewricht van de zestiende eeuw. Bouwsma wekt de man en zijn tijd tot leven, verdiept zich in de angsten en de dromen van de hervormer, beschrijft Calvijns nooit besliste strijd met zijn - innerlijke demonen`. Maar Bouwsma doet meer. Calvijn komt helder te staan in het perspectief van zijn eeuw: een eeuw van ernstige culturele crisis, een cruciale tijd voor Europa. ISBN: 9789050181280.

Dit werk is door de uitgever opgedragen aan 'Her most excellent Majesty, The Queen: not more honoured for her Dignity, than Revered for her Piety and beloved for her Virtues', Traduit de l'Anglais (par Jean Joseph Alexis David de Saint Georges), Met in elk deel 1 anonieme gegraveerde titelprent, A Paris, Chez Dufart, Imprimeur-Libraire, An 5 - 1797, 2 delen, 142 (xxxii + pp 33-142) / 144 pp, 12º, (13,5 x 8,6 cm), In twee negentiende-eeuwse rode halfleren bandjes met sierpapier op de platten en roodleren hoekverstevigingen.

Reactie op Goethes Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (1774). Het boek begint met een uitgebreid Avertissement du traducteur, waardoor we meer van hem weten dan van de oorspronkelijke Engelse schrijver. Die heeft de lezer vooraf ook een en ander te vertellen, Deze uitgave is niet beschikbaar in de grote Nederlandse bibliotheken. Wel kan men er de elektronische reproductie van de derde druk in het Frans raadplegen: Londres (is waarschijnlijk Parijs) 1787. Ook de eerste druk van de oorspronkelijke Engelse versie van 1786 (Dublin/London) en een latere van 1797 (New York) zijn in deze vorm aanwezig. Worldcat geeft twee vindplaatsen voor mijn editie, De schrijver van dit werk wordt nader aangeduid als William James of Denford, Berks County England. De eerste druk in het Frans verscheen in 1786 bij de vertaler, die zich toen nog Richard Arkwright noemde. Een jaar later kwam de derde druk al uit; hierin tekende de vertaler met de initialen M.D.D.S.G. In 1793, 1794, 1797 en 1801 werd dit boek herdrukt. Er is ook een Duitse vertaling
