They were referred to by a wide variety of terms: Radicals, Nonconformists, the left wing of the Reformation, and dissidents. In fact, none of these terms is entirely satisfactory, particularly because behind the dissidence lie very diverse tendencies, ranging from a highly communitarian Anabaptism to various forms of individualistic spiritualism, often with very different motivations. In the 17th century, religious dissidence changed its motivation; it resulted less from a protest against orthodoxies than from the desire to explain the world and its religion differently, combined with a natural philosophy. This volume presents a biographical sketch an an annotated bibliography of the Moravian dissidents Matěj Poustevník, Beneš Optát, Johann Zeising (Jan Čížek), Jan Dubčanský ze Zdenína, and the Habrovan (Lulčer) Brothers}, edition = {1}, publisher = {koernerverlag}, address = {Baden-Baden}, series = {Bibliotheca bibliographica Aureliana}, volume = {208}, editor = {Séguenny, Andé} }
