English summary: Through his work on the study of personal accounts as well as on the history of religion and knowledge in early modern times, Kaspar von Greyerz has had a considerable influence on historiographical debate. This volume contains his most significant texts covering five decades that touch on the key questions on research on the Early Modern Period. In how far was the Reformation formed by sudden change and continuity? What inspired common people to join the Reformation? How could a political-denominational history on the area of the Upper Rhine be written? How did an English Puritan experience his everyday God? Where are the early modern boundaries between religion, magic and denomination? What were the powers of persistence inherent in alchemy, hermeticism and magic at the time of the scientific revolution? And has the last word on the question of autobiographic material already been spoken? In these selected papers, von Greyerz discusses these and other questions partly in the form of concise overviews, partly in the form of case studies, while always based on comprehensive source material and using theories that have significantly influenced future debate. German description: Kaspar von Greyerz hat mit seinen Arbeiten zur Selbstzeugnisforschung und zur Religions- und Wissensgeschichte der Fruhen Neuzeit die historiografischen Debatten massgeblich mitgepragt. Dieser Band versammelt seine wichtigsten Texte aus funf Jahrzehnten, die zentrale Fragen der Fruhneuzeitforschung beruhren: Wie sehr war die Reformation von Bruchen und Kontinuitaten gepragt? Was bewegte gemeine Leute zur Reformation uberzutreten? Wie lasst sich eine politisch-konfessionelle Geschichte des Oberrheins schreiben? Wie erlebte ein englischer Puritaner seinen alltaglichen Gott? Wo verlaufen die fruhneuzeitlichen Grenzen zwischen Religion, Magie und Konfession? Welche Beharrungskrafte besassen Alchemie, Hermetismus und Magie in der wissenschaftlichen Revolution? Und: Ist das letzte Wort zu Selbstzeugnissen schon gesprochen? Diese und andere Fragen erortert von Greyerz in den hier ausgewahlten Aufsatzen mal in Form pragnanter Uberblicke, mal am Beispiel von Fallstudien, immer auf dichter Quellengrundlage und oft mit Thesen, die die weitere Forschungsdebatte nachhaltig beeinflusst haben.
Prof. em. Dr. Kaspar von Greyerz war Professor für Geschichte der Frühen Neuzeit in Zürich und Basel.
