RT Article T1 Das Lachen der Ketzer Zur Selbstinszenierung der frühen Reformation JF Zeitschrift für Theologie und Kirche VO 108 IS 4 SP 405 OP 430 A1 Schubert, Anselm 1969- LA German PB Mohr Siebeck YR 2011 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1776681118 AB The day Luther burned the papal bull, the Wittenberg students staged a strange procession through town, a procession which has often been interpreted in terms of medieval folk culture and carnival. This paper, however, argues that the Reformation movement's first public display drew primarily on learned pamphlets and text of the »causa Lutheri.« As Luther fashioned himself as a heretic by approving of the Antichrist's false bull, the students, by granting Luther's enemies a mock »triumphus,« declared themselves to be heretics.
