Models of Piety explores some of the most recent debates in Reformation studies concerning biography and the construction of historical writing and memory. It is the first book to consider in such detail the manifold writings and work of scholars located in one major city of the Reformation taking Zurich as its case study. It develops important themes very much at the heart of current scholarship: the use of networks the role of printing the formation of pedagogy as well divergent attitudes towards texts and their interpretation. As such it makes an important contribution to the fields of intellectual and institutional history theology as well as throwing new light upon the social history of early modern European scholarship.
