Dr Georg Eder rose from humble origins to hold a number of high positions at Vienna University and the city's Habsburg court between 1552 and 1584. This book examines his position as a Catholic in the predominantly Protestant Vienna of his day and his survival as an advocate of Catholic reform, largely through the protection of Habsburgs' rivals.
