For the first time, the research and edition project “Controversia et Confessio” systematically reappraises the theological controversies triggered by the Augsburg Interim and the Leipzig Alternative Draft of 1548, which could only be largely resolved by the large-scale theological unification of the Conoria Formula and the Konkordienbuch 1577/80.

The academy project therefore serves to index, link and evaluate this corpus of material (approx.…

Following the Augsburg Imperial Diet (1530), since 1540 we encounter imperial religious colloquy in Hagenau, Worms and Regensburg in 1540/41, in…
