EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page from "The Judgement of Martin Bucer concerning Divorce" by John Milton, published in 1644. The artwork, created by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century, is now part of a private collection. The title page holds significant historical and religious importance as it represents the ideas and beliefs of two influential figures: Martin Bucer and John Milton. Martin Bucer, a German Protestant reformer who lived from 1491 to 1551, advocated for divorce within certain circumstances. His views were later translated and promoted by John Milton in his work "De Regno Christi" which aimed to establish the lawfulness of divorce. The frontispiece itself is a powerful visual representation of this call for legalizing divorce and initiating reformation within society. It serves as a testament to both Bucer's groundbreaking ideas and Milton's efforts to spread them through his translation work. This image not only captures the essence of these historical figures but also highlights their impact on shaping religious discourse during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of how individuals like Martin Bucer and John Milton played pivotal roles in challenging societal norms while promoting progressive reforms within their respective contexts.
