Mathias Flacius and the “Bible Institute” in Urach
Oliver K. Olson
Abstract
The history of the printing press at Urach near Tübingen is very important for the early history of Slavic publications, yet does not feature the name of Matthias Flacius (1520-1575). Flacius found ways to contribute to the success of the press. The fact that he was not a major contributor is due to the persecution inflicted upon him by Elector August of Saxony. Awareness of the Elector's ruthless opposition to Flacius could contribute to the scholarly discussions about authorship.
