Beskrivning
Uncertainty and instability affected Geneva and the Duchy of Savoy since the mid-15th century. This book looks at how political life worked in a time of great instability, seeking to answer a straightforward—but not easy—question: how did people face and react to political and religious uncertainty?
Mathieu Caesar is Associate Professor in medieval history at the Université de Genève. He mainly works on social, cultural and political history, and has published on Renaissance Geneva and Savoy, taxation and public finances, revolts, late medieval preaching, princely legislation, early printing, and reversals of fortune.
