Autorenporträt
Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubigné (1794–1872) was a distinguished Swiss historian and a foremost figure in the study of the Protestant Reformation. Born in Eaux-Vives, he was educated in Geneva and later at the University of Göttingen, where he was deeply influenced by German theological scholarship. His life's work, 'History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century', is a seminal text that arguably remains one of the most comprehensive accounts of the period. This magnum opus, which spans five volumes, delves into the theological, political, and social shifts that defined the Reformation era, and has been cited extensively in academic circles for its meticulous research and narrative flair. d'Aubigné's work is characterized by his robust evangelical Protestant perspective, a quality that both enhanced its appeal to like-minded readers and attracted criticism for perceived bias from others. His historiographical approach combined vivid characterization with a clear moral compass, framing the reformers as heroes of faith and liberty against an often corrupt and oppressive ecclesiastical establishment. Despite the critiques, d'Aubigné's contributions to historical theology have been enduring, offering insights that have shaped Protestant thought and historiography. The grandeur and detail of d'Aubigné's narrative have secured his place among the notable historians of the 19th century.
