A Regular, Historical Account Of The First Rise Of The Reformation, Collected And Tr. From Fleury's Ecclesiastical History, By W.H — Claude Fleury. This work offers a detailed historical account of the early Reformation’s emergence in the years 1517 through 1520, examining indulgences, church authority, and reform movements across Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. It centers on Martin Luther’s rise as a reformer, his critique of indulgences and papal power, and the surrounding controversies sparked by figures such as Tetzel, Staupitz, and the Elector Frederick of Saxony. The narrative traces the debates with papal legates Cajetan and Eck, the role of Erasmus and Melanchthon, and parallel reform currents led by Ulrich Zwingli and Carlstadt. It highlights the universities and urban centers—Wittenberg, Rome, Augsburg, Leipzig, Paris, Louvain, Basel—acting as forums for disputation and commentary. Key episodes include Luther’s theses, early disputations at Augsburg and Leipzig, and the papal-imperial response culminating in threats of excommunication and suppression. The account also situates how reform ideas spread through networks of printers, scholars, and princes, foreshadowing a broader rupture within Western Christendom.
