The Quest for Compromise is an interdisciplinary study of the
imperial court in late sixteenth-century Vienna, and a detailed
examination of a fascinating moment of religious moderation.
Against a backdrop of rising religious and confessional dogmatism,
the Emperor Maximilian II (1564-1576) assembled a remarkable cast
of courtiers who resisted extremes of both Reformation and
Counter-Reformation. This book investigates the rise and fall of an
irenic movement through four individuals whose work at the imperial
court reflected the ideals of religious compromise and moderation.
An Italian artist (Jacopo Strada), a Silesian physician (Johannes
Crato), a Dutch librarian (Hugo Blotius) and a German soldier
(Lazarus von Schwendi) sought peace and accommodation through a
wide range of cultural, intellectual and political activity.
