Abstract
In the history of the modern West, the intense doctrinal debate that inflamed Catholic and reformed theologians yielded, among its consequences, a cultural militancy capable of fostering a new discussion be-tween religion and historiographical, political, as well as literary, studies. Thanks to an unprecedented philological endeavour, and to the study of the evolution of Christianity, the Reformation exerted a considerable influence both on the literary perspective and on linguistic reflection, contributing to determining in an ideological sense the definition of that uncertain set of chronological references that the Anglo-American culture describes as Middle Ages (see f.ex. Delogu 1994; Sergi 1998; Pandemiglio 2002). From the turbulent period that followed the rise to the English throne of Elizabeth I Tudor, the reflexes of a rich cultural exchange between the English reformers and German historians and philologists seem to emerge. A leading role in this Anglo-German exchange process was played by the Croatian theologian Matthias Vlačić 'Ilirik', a scholar of international renown, promoter of a new philological accuracy and long en-gaged in the investigation of the oldest phases of the German language and literature.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
