Description
Book Synopsis16th Century Netherlands was the site of some of the earliest instances of pre-reformation religious dissent. During the 1520s, no figure head led the movement in the Netherlands; instead six theological tracts by six individual scholars voiced religious dissent. This book studies the role of the Netherlands in the Protestant Reformation.
