EBENEZER: A New Annotated English Translation of the Third Section of Ernst Salamon Cyprian's Celebrated HILARIA EVANGELICA by Christian Schlegel
A NEW EXTENSIVELY ANNOTATED ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF CHRISTIAN SCHLEGEL'S "EBENEZER" (THE THIRD SECTION OF ERNST SALOMON CYPRIAN’S CELEBRATED "HILARIA EVANGELICA") WITH HIGH-QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHS AND AN EXTENSIVE INDEX.
An indispensable account of the golden age of Reformation commemorations—now for the first time in English.
The early decades of the 18th century have been marked as the golden age of Reformation numismatics. Christian Schlegel’s EBENEZER serves as a rich historic, theological, linguistic, and numismatic reference work for the collector and student of the thousands of coins and medals related to Martin Luther and the 16th-century Reformation. After 300 years, the German text of Christian Schlegel’s EBENEZER is now available to the English-speaking world.
With comprehensive annotations referencing modern Reformation auctions and collections (and photographs of actual pieces that enhance the 12 copperplate tables originally included in EBENEZER), this new edition serves as an indispensable reference work of a high-point in Reformation commemorations. Over the last 25 years, over 13,000 Reformation coins and medals have been put up for auction. Of those 13,000 pieces, over 3,500 were struck for the Reformation Jubilee of 1717. These are the pieces Christian Schlegel describes and illustrates in the third section of Ernst Salomon Cyprian’s 1650-page HILARIA EVANGELICA, originally published in Gotha in 1719.
