Der erste Schweizer Druck von Johann Arndts "Wahrem Christentum" von 1616

Abstract

Researchers working on Johann Arndt have known for some time of a Zurich imprint of the first book of his True Christianity, which appeared in 1616, but the printing history of this imprint has been completely unknown. The book was published by a previously unknown bookseller named Johann Balthasar Beugger. In this article, his identity is illuminated and his affiliation with the Schwenckfeldians is demonstrated.
