Notes

Geneva 1616* was a significant year in the history of Geneva, a city known for its role in the Protestant Reformation. In 1616, Geneva was a thriving center of Calvinism, attracting scholars, theologians, and religious refugees. The city was governed by a strict moral code influenced by John Calvin's teachings, which shaped its social, political, and religious life. This period was marked by efforts to consolidate the Reformation's gains and defend the city against external threats, particularly from Catholic forces in Europe. Geneva's reputation as a "Protestant Rome" continued to grow, solidifying its influence in the wider Protestant world.
