Annotatio III §.III open: Third Consociation attempt FRANCOFURTANUM — after Luther’s death, Melanchthon still living; Estates and Otto Henry call twenty-five theologians (1557–1558)
§. III. The third Consociation attempt of this Reformation century is the Frankfurt one.
It came after Luther’s death, while Melanchthon was still alive — in 1557 and 1558 — undertaken by the Imperial Estates and their leader, Otto Henry the Palatine.
Twenty-five theologians were called to Frankfurt; among them Johann Pistorius, Andreas Hyperius, and Nicolaus Rhodingus, Marburg professors commonly counted as rigid Calvinists.
