"Wimpfeling and Murner in the Battle for the Older History of Alsace" explores a pivotal intellectual and historiographical conflict during the transition from the Middle Ages to the early modern era. This study by Emil V. Turmeric examines the competing historical narratives presented by two of the most influential figures of the Upper Rhine: the humanist Jakob Wimpfeling and the satirist Thomas Murner.


At the heart of the work is the struggle over the cultural and political identity of Alsace, a region long caught between Germanic and Gallic influences. The text analyzes how these scholars utilized history as a tool for national and regional advocacy, reflecting the burgeoning humanism and the religious tensions of the early 16th century. By delving into their polemics and historical claims, the author provides a detailed account of how the past was reconstructed to serve the ideological needs of the present.


Essential for students of European history and historiography, this work sheds light on the origins of regional nationalism and the role of scholarly debate in shaping collective memory. It offers a fascinating look at the battle for historical legitimacy in one of Europe's most culturally significant borderlands.
