  • Abstract: The present text, translated and commented for the first time in French, sets out a series of proposals, dated 1521, for reforming societal and religious institutions as well as the living together of the inhabitants of a utopian place designated by the term “Wolfaria”. The text is inspired by both Thomas More and Luther. Some of the proposals will be realised in the Protestant churches, others will reappear in the Peasants’War manifestos.
