Abstract

The printing history of perhaps the most influential tract in the history of irenicism (church reunification), Georgius Cassander's De officio pii viri, in 1561 presented at the Colloquy at Poissy, together with an overview of its afterlife and the numerous reactions it provoked, both by Protestants and Roman Catholics, will contribute to our understanding of the history of erasmian humanist irenicism. Two contemporary translations, one in German by Georg von Cell and one in French by Jean Hotman, show us how De officio pii viri was adapted to the ongoing struggle for church peace in different parts of Europe, a struggle that was led by jurists and theologians, outstanding members of the Republic of Letters, who were able to spread their ideas by their large epistolary networks. The life story of De officio pii viri highlights the birth, expansion and failure of ideas; how they profit from the support of the mighty and how they fail when opposed by the uncompromising: those who think they speak in the name of God.

Abstract

Die kompromißlose klare Bauweise macht die 1931 fertig gestellte Villa Savoye von Le Corbusier zu einer unverwechselbaren Ikone in der Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts. André Malraux stellte sie denn auch 1964 unter Denkmalschutz. In diesem Guide wird sie anhand historischer Dokumente und neuer Aufnahmen sowohl dem Besucher vor Ort als auch dem architekturinteressierten Leser zuhause umfassend vorgestellt. With its uncompromising and clear construction, the Villa Savoye, completed in 1931, established Le Corbusier s reputation as an undisputed master of twentieth-century architecture. André Malraux placed it on the historic register in 1964. In this guide, historic documents and new photographs provide an in-depth presentation both to visitors to the site and to interested readers at home.
