medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
My husband, Eric Reiter, curious about this, did a bit of clicking around
and found:
www.univie.ac.at/alte-geschichte/ranke1.doc -From the foreword to
*Geschichten der romanischen und germanischen Völker von 1494 bis 1535*
(1824):
...Man hat der Historie das Amt, die Vergangenheit zu richten, die Mitwelt
zum Nutzen zukünftiger Jahre zu belehren, beigemessen: so hoher Ämter
unterwindet sich gegenwärtiger Versuch nicht: er will bloß sagen, wie es
eigentlich gewesen.
