ABSTRACT
In 1587, Georg Creutzer published a vivid German-language open letter in which he portrayed Ambrosius as a Sacramentarian. At some point in 1584, Gergely HorvAth came to Kesmark and entered Ambrosius’ church. Starting in 1587, Horvath would publish a number of now-lost written attacks on Ambrosius. Likewise, Ambrosius’ activities in the 1580s cannot be reduced to the publication of thoroughgoing theological arguments. Ambrosius’ 492-page Antithesis was published by the Bonaventura Faber Press in the Saxon town of Zerbst in 1591. In the fall of 1590, Ambrosius received a visit from Jacob Monavius, a humanist from Breslau who was famous across Europe. At the beginning of 1599, however, Thokoly did not get involved in a situation where his authority might have been of even greater import.
