“The German and Latin Flugschriften collection has since the 1970s become the most important body of sources for the study of the Reformation in the German-speaking world. Its publication made possible, at last, the study of the common people's responses to the movements of the time. To have this great collection even more accessible in the new Brill database is a very great step forward for the field.” Thomas A. Brady Jr., University of California, Berkeley
“This project is a milestone of digital publishing for the early modern period. Its timing is perfect, as historians are beginning to be much more aware of the power of images not just to reflect but create realities. Visual practises and intermediality are key themes for our understanding of this period as for our own. Flugschriften are part of the revolution in communication and shaped Western European societies in a crucial period of political, social and religious change.” Ulinka Rublack, University of Cambridge
