From the mid-17th century, an inner-Catholic reform movement congregated around the idea of Jansenism, updating the strict Augustinian Theology of Grace. Jansenism had detractors in the German-speaking world but also advocates and supporters. This volume uses materiality-history-based network and communication studies to focus on how the nobility and theology received Jansenism in different ways by translating and printing Jansenist literature.
