Untitled
editI have found that we have two articles - Melchior Hoffman and Melchior Hofmann. I am moving the 1911 material here, and will try to work it in, and make the other article a redirect. I have chosen the permanent article to be under "Hoffman". This seems to be the current preferred spelling; also no articles are linked to "Hofmann". - Rlvaughn 01:52, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Editing needed!
editThis article needs work on the english style, also to check the spelling of the cities involved and making sure they link correctly.
Disambiguation
editThere is also a Melchior Hoffmann, a pupil of JS Bach's (poss. c.1679-1715) one of whose cantatas was mistaken for his teacher's, I believe (listening to it now. BWV 189.) Probably some wrong links to this article because of the confusion (unless there's a disambiguation page I missed.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 12:00, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Interessant?

- I've added it to the article. The German language labels are not ideal, but most people should get the idea. ✤ JonHarder talk 23:49, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Alleged Valentinianism
edit1911 the claims that Melchior Hoffman had a Valentinian Christology might have been in order, but today we know so much of Valentinus and the gnostic Valentinianism — the Nag Hammadi library — that the allegation just becomes pretty much absurd and preposterous, unless we can find some academic guy still claiming this weird allegation...
