Dr Georg Eder was an extraordinary figure who rose from humble origins to hold a number of high positions at Vienna University and the city's Habsburg court between 1552 and 1584. Pivoting around a dramatic incident in 1573, when Eder's ferocious anti-Lutheran polemic, the Evangelical Inquisition, fell under sharp Imperial condemnation, this book investigates key aspects of his career and adds significantly to the wider canon of Reformation history by re-examining the nature and extent of Catholicism at the Viennese court in the latter half of the sixteenth century.
Contents: Introduction; Eder's Vienna; Promotion and prominence, 1550-73; Service to the church, 1550-73; 1573: imperial condemnation; Wittelsbach patronage, 1573-87; 'Whoever is not like a Jesuit, is not a Catholic'; Conclusion; Select bibliography; Index.
