Prophecy, Madness, And Holy War In Early Modern Europe Av Leigh T.i. (research Fellow In The Global Encounters And First Nations Peoples Arc Laureate

The political and religious turmoil of seventeenth century Europe appears in a strange new light in this volume, which explores the life and doctrines of the infamous German barber surgeon and prophet, Ludwig Friedrich Gifftheil (1595-1661). Inspired by an unstable alchemy of family tragedy and a corpus of dissenting religious writings, Gifftheil stalked Europe''s battlefields, petitioning kings, princes, and emperors to end the warfare endemic on the continent.Convinced that all war was prompted by ''false prophets''¿by which Gifftheil meant the clergy of Europe''s Christian confessions¿he pleaded with rulers to abjure the counsel of their advisors and institute instead a godly peace.
