The Free Imperial City of Augsburg was one of early modern Europe's great mercantile and manufacturing centers. It was also home to the first orphanage in Germany, one of the first in Europe. In this study, Thomas Max Safley examines the complex relationship that developed among charity, confession, and capital in Augsburg's orphanages. This study offers a substantial revision of current historical scholarship on poor relief, social discipline, organization building, and the advent of capitalism.

Based on marital and civil court records from two cities (Freiburg/Breisgau and Basel), Safley examines the control of marriage in southwestern Germany in the last half of the sixteenth century, a key period for the Catholic Reformation. He shows how Protestant and Catholic magistrates adjucated conjugal disputes based upon their religions convictions. [publisher's description]

This work shows that early modern Europe witnessed changes in the social, political, and ecclesiastical structures supporting poor relief, but notions that sharp fault lines divide rationalized, secular poor relief from morally and spiritually motivated ecclesiastical charity need rethinking.

This fascinating study follows the fortunes of the Hchstetter family, merchant-manufacturers and financiers of Augsburg, Germany, in the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries, and sheds light on the economic and social history of failure and resilience in early modern Europe. Carefully tracing the chronology of the family's rise, fall and transformation, it moves from the micro- to the macro-level, making comparisons with other mercantile families of the time to draw conclusions and suggest insights into such issues as social mobility, capitalist organization, business techniques, market practices and economic institutions. The result is a microhistory that offers macro-conclusions about the lived experience of early capitalism and capitalistic practices. This book will be valuable reading for advanced students and researchers of economic, financial and business history, legal history and early modern European history.
