Wickiana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wickiana by Johann Jakob Wick of Zürich (1522-1588) is a collection of notices assembled in 24 volumes between 1560 and 1587. It is an important source for the period of the Reformation in Switzerland.

Wick lived in the Zürich ruled by Heinrich Bullinger, the successor of Zwingli. He studied theology in Tübingen, and was pastor of Witikon, at the city hospital, and at the Grossmünster.
