This groundbreaking book explores the migration of Calvinist refugees in Reformation Europe during a century of persecution, exile and minority existence. It traces the lives of some of the earliest Reformed merchant families as they forged the backbone of international Calvinism through a potent combination of marriage and enterprise.
