  Sebastian Franck - LoveToKnow 1911
Franck, in his preface, says the original was in English; elsewhere he says it was in Latin; the theory that his German was really the original is unwarrantable.
At Basel he found work as a printer, and here, probably, it was that he died in the winter of 1542-1543.
Franck combined the humanist's passion for freedom with the mystic's devotion to the religion of the spirit.

 Cesar Franck - LoveToKnow 1911
CESAR FRANCK (1822-1890), French musical composer, a Belgian by birth, who came of German stock, was born at Liege on the 10th of December 1822.
Franck was appointed professor of the organ at the Paris conservatoire, in succession to Benoist, his old master, in 1872, and the following year he was naturalized a Frenchman.
A statue was erected to the memory of Cesar Franck in Paris on the 22nd of October 5904, the occasion producing a panegyric from Alfred Bruneau, in which he speaks of the composer's works as "cathedrals in sound."

Franck seems to deviate slightly from the arguments of Entfelder and Bnderlin in emphasizing the formulation of doctrinal absolutes rather than the adherence to specific sacramental forms as the primary means of perversion, but otherwise his analysis of the fall of the primitive church and its implications for subsequent salvation history are remarkably similar.
Franck was probably directly involved in the process of typesetting and printing this work, and therefore the opinions expressed in it likely reflect his responses to happenings in Strasbourg in the second half of 1530 and first half of 1531.
Franck does not appear to have ever attained the same access to the inner circles of the Reformation or to have fulfilled this sort of semi-official role in Strasbourg's reformation.

The intimate intercourse with this congenial man exerted a great influence upon Francke, and ever after they were united by a bond of cordial affection, assisting each other in their labors and keeping up their correspondence until 1702.
It was inevitable that his success should arouse envy, and it must be confessed that not everything in the movement of Francke and his friends was commendable, as, for instance, the contempt of science and distrust of earnest philosophical study united with self-complacency and conceit among those who were only superficially inspired by the Spirit.
But the opponents of Francke rose again and instituted a commission, the result of which was his dismissal from office (1691).

 Times & Seasons » Awaiting the Restoration in 1531
Franck’s own opinion, however, is the fifth, which means he was not himself awaiting a restoration, although he knew people who were.
Franck, known for his pacifism, tolerance, and independence, is one of the most fascinating figures of the Reformation, but his position is not our position.
Franck’s description of religious contention does not specify that the anticipated restoration would include a church with deacons and teachers settling beside the shores of a salt sea, and it doesn’t tie the Restoration to the founding of the United States.

 [No title]
Sebastian Franck of Donauw`rth (1499-1542), one of the so-called "Spiritualizers" of the protestant reformation, earned his living partly by making soap and partly by compiling and printing encyclopedic Chronicles.
Franck thereby took his place in the long line of those for whom suffering, especially when unmerited, is a mark of truth.
It is not excluded that Franck might be referring to one of the later sources to whom we shall be coming, such as Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius, who when they used the phrase did not always credit Antisthenes.

The second chief contemporary authority on the doctrines and practices of the Anabaptists is Sebastian Franck.
Franck, on the other hand, was less bitter in his hostility, at least to the milder aspects of Anabaptist theory and practice.
There was a certain body of the Brethren who, according to Franck, wished to carry their communism into the matter of wives, but, he says, they were soon suppressed by the other Brethren.

German Anabaptists and Hutterites, Sebastian Franck, George Fox as well as his Muggletonian opponents, Winstanley and the Diggers with their originary communism, all appear here.
Some of them have in common that they were readers of Franck, as Poole shows, seeing in Genesis the story of limited creaturely beings who overreached themselves.
Both advise the recovery of original ignorance and simplicity: we must "vomit up the fruit of the tree of knowledge" and so "be born anew." Their views comprise a set of assumptions about the Genesis narrative that contradicts those of the main reformers at every turn.

Franck eventually came to argue that God communicates with individuals through the means of a remnant of the divine found in each human being.
Franck maintained that no human institution like the church nor any human convention including theology could properly claim to give form or expression to this inner spark or Word of God in the heart of the believer.
These beliefs connected Franck both to medieval mystical traditions and to more modern attenuations of traditional Christianity.

 HNA Review of Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The book proposes that Bruegel was deeply influenced by the German theologian Sebastian Franck (1499-1542), who was quite popular in the Netherlands during the sixteenthth century (pp.
Franck was an unorthodox protestant thinker, who advocated a negative theology that was against all institutionalization of the Christian faith.
Each of the 280 chapters of Franck’s book starts with a baffling statement like “Deum nemo novit, nisi Deum” (God knows nobody, only himself), which is then explained as an illustration of the impossibility to define God’s essence with the help of scripture or any other source of knowledge except one’s innermost personal experience.

Advance in his religious ideas led him to seek the freer atmosphere of Strasbourg in the autumn of 1529.
Not interpreting this as applying to works printed outside Ulm, he published in 1538 at Augsburg his Guldin Arch (with pagan parallels to Christian sentiments) and at Frankfurt his Germaniae chronicon, with the result that he had to leave Ulm in January 1539.
At Basel he found work as a printer, and here, probably, it was that he died in the winter of 1542-43.

 Sebastian Franck Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Sebastian Franck is generally counted among the members of the radical Reformation, which includes a wide range of religious dissenters of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who believed that Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli, and John Calvin had stopped short of a thorough reform of the church.
The group embraced such disparate figures as the Anabaptist Menno Simons, the social reformer Thomas Müntzer, the anti-Trinitarian Michael Servetus, and Franck, who inveighed against all outward manifestations of religion and insisted on the purely spiritual, invisible nature of God, Gods Word, and the Church.
His views have been preserved through his writings, most of which Franck, an ardent supporter of the new technology, printed on his ow.....

Franck war stark vom Humanismus bestimmt (Kronbüchlein, 1534, mit Übersetzungen aus Erasmus von Rotterdam und Agrippa von Nettesheim).
Franck wollte nicht lehren, sondern "Zeuge" des lebendigen Gottesworts sein, in dessen Zeugnis sich andere wiedererkennen können, so wie er sich im Zeugnis anderer wiedererkannte.

This alarmed the conspirators, and they changed their tactics, chaining the youth up, fettling him in various parts of the body with hot irons, until he swore a solemn oath not to divulge anything.
At last, says Sebastian, the matter “became too heavy for the Brother,” and he resolved to escape at once.
The following is another illustration of the ready credulity of a mediaeval populace and the excessive excitability of the public mind in the earlier years of the sixteenth century.

With Franck, I aspire to belong to this invisible church “not confined to one time or place” that includes all “good-hearted, new-born persons … bound together by the Holy Spirit in the peace of God and the bonds of love” who share with each other through music, art, and the printed word.
