The printing history of perhaps the most influential tract in the
history of irenicism (church reunification), Georgius Cassander's
De officio pii viri, in 1561 presented at the Colloquy at Poissy,
together with an overview of its afterlife and the numerous
reactions it provoked, both by Protestants and Roman Catholics,
will contribute to our understanding of the history of erasmian
humanist irenicism. Two contemporary translations, one in German by
Georg von Cell and one in French by Jean Hotman, show us how De
officio pii viri was adapted to the ongoing struggle for church
peace in different parts of Europe, a struggle that was led by
jurists and theologians, outstanding members of the Republic of
Letters, who were able to spread their ideas by their large
epistolary networks. The life story of De officio pii viri
highlights the birth, expansion and failure of ideas; how they
profit from the support of the mighty and how they fail when
opposed by the uncompromising: those who think they speak in the
name of God.
