0.0

Dr Georg Eder was an extraordinary figure who rose from humble origins to hold anumber of high positions at Vienna University and the city\'s Habsburg court between 1552 and 1584. Pivoting around a dramatic incident in 1573, when Eder\'s ferocious anti-Lutheran polemic, the Evangelical Inquisition, fell under sharp Imperial condemnation, this book investigates key aspects of his career and adds significantly to the wider canon of Reformation history by re-examining the nature and extent of Catholicism at the Viennese court in the latter half of the sixteenth century.
