The essay explores the trends of historiography on Luther. It highlights how ancient prejudices on Luther have influenced historiography, both depicting him as a confessional hero or despising him, as Grisar does. It's not a coincidence that Ernesto Buonaiuti, leading figure of italian modernism, writes a Luther's biography which could have been a token of his missed appeasement with Roman-Catholic Church. Postwar historiography will seek a different path which will lead to the 1983 centenary: when the students of Bainton's translator Delio Cantimori will demand what Giuseppe Alberigo would later have been called Luther's 'confessional ransom'.

Abstract

The essay explores the trends of historiography on Luther. It highlights how ancient prejudices on Luther have influenced historiography, both depicting him as a confessional hero or despising him, as Grisar does. It's not a coincidence that Ernesto Buonaiuti, leading figure of italian modernism, writes a Luther's biography which could have been a token of his missed appeasement with Roman-Catholic Church. Postwar historiography will seek a different path which will lead to the 1983 centenary: when the students of Bainton's translator Delio Cantimori will demand what Giuseppe Alberigo would later have been called Luther's 'confessional ransom'.
