The Life and Times of Ulric Zwingli (Dodo Press)

Huldrych (Ulrich or Ulric) Zwingli (1 January 1484 - 11 October 1531) was a leader of the Reformation in Switzerland. Born during a time of emerging Swiss patriotism and increasing criticism of the Swiss mercenary system, he attended the University of Vienna and the University of Basel, a scholarly centre of humanism. He continued his studies while he served as a pastor in Glarus and later in Einsiedeln where he was influenced by the writings of Erasmus. His legacy lives on in the confessions, liturgy, and church orders of the Reformed churches of today.
