The ways in which war was waged and peace was agreed in the 'long sixteenth century' were strongly influenced by, had a deep connection with, and produced a lasting impact on, the religious divide of Latin Christianity in the wake of the Reformation. This collection of essays seeks to analyse historically these influences, connections, and impacts from multiple points of view.

The Republic of Venice was the only Catholic territory where an Anabaptist community was formed in the 16th century. On the basis of a large amount of archival material the author reconstructs the lives of the Anabaptists of the Republic and inquisitorial repression they suffered, and analyses the doctrinal specificities of the Radical Reformation of that territory. Riccarda Suitner presents the events within a broader comparative framework, with particular attention to the development of the Reformation in the German states, Switzerland, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Transylvania, Tyrol, and the Kingdom of Naples.
The history at the heart of this book is one as yet little known in Reformation Studies: the history of Venetian Anabaptism.
