In search of Tolerance? Considerations on the concept of Tolerance during the sixteenth century. The case of Jacobus Palaeologus in Transylvania

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

While studying the Reformation, it is important to consider much more than just the impact of Martin Luther’s writings on the interpretation of the Bible and the effect that his concept of Sola Fide had on the Catholic Church as a powerful institution during the sixteenth century. Accordingly, the main focus of this article is religious tolerance in the context of various reformation movements that arose in Europe after the events of 1517 and a case study of a reformist thinker Jacobus Palaeologus. The reformations of the sixteenth century produced religious divisions never seen before in the history of Christianity. Thereby, the people of this century had to continuously deal with the presence of the other in a multiconfessional space that was both a place for the formation of new faiths, but also a space of quarrelling among them. Thus, in this article, the concepts of tolerance and intolerance are central to approaching this new reality that was unfolding since beginning of the sixteenth century, and that would continue to be a challenging issue for the people of Europe in the centuries to come. A historiographical analysis of the concept of toleration allows us to understand how this notion has had different interpretations among the scholars of this subject. The main point in this discussion, is the conclusion that tolerance and intolerance were interconnected in a complex relationship between the social, the political and the religious, as an everyday practice for the people of the time. The case of Jacobus Palaeologus‘ time in Transylvania illustrates the above mentioned dimensions of tolerance by confronting both the historical development of the region in terms of its religious freedom (asserted by the Edict of Turda of 1568), together with the struggles and conflicts that different confessions had to deal with while building their religious identity. Palaeologus, as an intellectual, established strong relationships with the Antitrinitarians in the city of Cluj, however he was as vulnerable as the ordinary people that lived in the city and had to face the changes that the Reformation and Counter-Reformation brought over time. His fate and thinking shows that even though Transylvania’s confessional space was unique, we should not assume that the different confessions and the attitudes towards them were not in a constant conflict and fluctuation.
