Representing a new approach to an important subject this volume of essays widens the understanding and interpretation of 'authority' in debates on the Protestant Reformation. Based upon original and recent research, each essay builds with careful scholarship on solid historiographical foundations.

Dr Georg Eder rose from humble origins to hold a number of high positions at Vienna University and the city's Habsburg court between 1552 and 1584. This book examines his position as a Catholic in the predominantly Protestant Vienna of his day and his survival as an advocate of Catholic reform, largely through the protection of Habsburgs' rivals.
