Pre-Reformation Religious Dissent in The Netherlands, 1518-1530

During the 1520s, no "figurehead" led the movement in the Netherlands; instead six theological tracts by six individual scholars voiced religious dissent. Using primary historical data from the trials of suspected heretics and the works of the aforementioned theologians, Pre-Reformation Religious Dissent in the Netherlands, 1518-1530 studies the role of the Netherlands in the Protestant Reformation.
