Slavic Protestants in Exile: The Exulanten in Saxony

Description

Slavic Protestants in Exile: The Exulanten in Saxony. Produced and Edited by Weldon Mersiovsky.

Christian Adolph Pescheck described the Bohemian emigration in the 17^th century in the volume Die Böhmischen Exulanten in Sachsen. It was, to a large extent, a study about the refugees of the Lutheran confession who, since The Thirty Years War, left Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia or Silesia and settled, in large numbers, in Saxony.  They belonged, for a long time, to a rarely researched group of migrants of the 17^th century when compared with those of the Huguenots or the Protestants from Salzburg.  Nevertheless, the thousands of migrants who settled in Saxony in the 17^th and 18^th centuries and their descendants did not forget their act of faith that is recorded in this study.
