Summary "The Life and Times of Ulric Zwingli" by Johann Jakob Hottinger is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The narrative focuses on the life and influential role of Ulric Zwingli, a key figure in the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland. This biography explores Zwingli's upbringing, education, and the socio-political context that shaped his views and actions, marking him as a pivotal character in this transformative period of history. At the start of the work, the author discusses Zwingli’s early years and education, describing his humble beginnings in the Toggenburg region, where he was raised in a respectable family. We learn about Zwingli's academic journey, moving from local schooling to advanced studies in the universities of Vienna and Basel, where he emerges as a promising scholar. The opening section sets the stage for understanding Zwingli's character, his early influences, and the educational environment of the time—elements that will be vital as he later becomes involved in reforming both church and society amid the brewing conflicts of the Reformation.
