A Humanist on the Frontier explores the remarkable life of
Sebastian Ambrosius, a sixteenth-century Lutheran minister and
intellectual from Kesmark (now Kezmarok) in present-day Slovakia,
formerly on the borderland of the Kingdom of Hungary. Through an
examination of Ambrosius' publications and correspondence, this
book throws new light on the dynamics of urban communities in Upper
Hungary, communication within the humanist Republic of Letters in
both Central European and wider European networks, and
ecclesiastical controversies. Adopting methods of microhistory and
cultural history, it also reconstructs Ambrosius' life by
positioning him in various contexts that trace his relationship to,
and interpretations of, themes of power, tradition, vocation,
communication and identity. This book is essential reading for
scholars and students of early modern European history, as well as
those interested in microhistory, cultural history, and the
Republic of Letters.
