Part of my activity as a postdoctoral fellow at the Faculty of “Artes Liberales” is related to the Committee on the Study of the Reformation in Poland and East-Central Europe, which was established in December 2009. After organizing several conferences and publication of three volumes in a series we are hoping to develop in the next few years, we are now organizing a conference which is a continuation of a session held last year at the Joannes a Lasco Bibliothek in Emden. If your research is close to any of the topics pointed out in the announcement, you are welcome to submit a proposal to the address provided at the bottom of the page.

CfP: Reformed Majorities and Minorities: Sources, Editions, Distribution of Ideas
The organizers of the conference “Reformed Majorities and Minorities in Early Modern Europe: Sources, Editions, Distribution of Ideas”, Warsaw, 23-24 September 2014 invite scholars from all areas of Reformation studies to submit proposals for papers.
The conference is intended as a continuation of the April 2013 conference organized in Emden. The conference’s goal is to gather together historians of the Reformation working on Reformed majorities and minorities and the challenges they faced in functioning in various political, social, intellectual and geographical contexts of early modern Europe. The Warsaw conference aims to pay particular attention to issues surrounding the survey and analysis of primary sources related to 16th- and 17th-century Reformed communities, and of the publication methods thereof.
The conference is being organized within the international project ‘Doctrina et Tolerantia’.

1. Early Huguenots in France
2. Reformed Protestants in Italy
3. British Puritans and the Dutch ‘Nadere Reformatie’
4. Relations between Reformed and Arminian Protestants in the Early Modern Netherlands and Europe
5. Anabaptists and Baptists as Reformed minority groups
