Offenbarung und Verhüllung

The Apocalypsis Nova fascinated readers throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Its call for a reform of the church, its fascinating theology, and its paradoxical narratology of veiling and revealing guaranteed its popularity in Italy, but also far beyond the European continent. Mirjam Wulff sheds light on this text as an example for the complexity of theological ideas and their literary presentations around 1500.
