Conscience and Coercion: The Early Protestants of Amiens, 1530-1650; Traces of Their Lives – A gallery talk by David Rosenberg

Explore acts of resistance and official persecution of French Protestants during the early Reformation. This new exhibit from the research of Dr. David Rosenberg features the signatures of over 100 Protestants of Amiens, France, as well as the records of their official targeting for heresy. Join Dr. Rosenberg for a discussion of his research, the delicate process of piecing together an individual’s life from scattered archival clues, and the continued resonance today of this striking example of historical oppression. This exhibit will be on display in the 2nd Floor Lincoln Gallery from Aug. 27 through Sept. 25 during Library hours.
