Summary

This chapter examines the extraordinary case of Ruprecht von Mosheim, author of a neglected proposal to reject papal and Lutheran arguments in favor of the middle position of "a third German." Discussed and dismissed by Johannes Eck, the Archduke Ferdinand, Martin Bucer, John Calvin, and other reformers, Mosheim reflects uncertainties that also gripped so-called Erasmians, such as Nikolaus Ellenbog.
