In this book, Lee Wandel discusses the relationship between the reform of poor relief and the Protestant Reformation in early 16th-century Zurich. In the introduction she traces the various ways that poverty has been evaluated, and its social and religious connotations, up to the 16th century. After providing a portrait of 16th-century Zurich, the author goes on to explore the discussion of the poor in various media of the town: the sermons and pamphlets of Huldrych Zwingli, who was preaching that the poor were the true images of God; printed images depicting Christ calling beggars and other poor folk to Him (these appeared on title pages of Zwingli's pamphlets); the language of legislation (in particular the Poor Ordinances of 1520 and 1525). By exploring each of these different languages - the words of Zwingli's sermons, the visual images of title page prints, and the language of legislation - Professor Wandel restores the complex perception of the poor in Reformation Zurich.
