DESCRIPTION:The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the biggest Catholic co
 untry in early modern Europe. Extending from the Baltic to the Black Sea a
 nd inhab-ited not only by Catholic\, but also Orthodox\, Protestant\, Arme
 nian\, Jewish\, Muslim and not at least diverece heterodox denominations o
 f the main-stream religious traditions\, it provided a unique setting for 
 religious con-tacts and interactions. Signed in 1573\, the Confederation o
 f Warsaw aimed to guarantee confessional tolerance in this huge multi-ethn
 ic and multi-confessional country and made it a place of refuge for differ
 ent dissidentes in religione. The pax dissidentum from 1573 made the Commo
 nwealth a much safer and tolerant place than most of contemporary Europe\,
  but did not prevent religious conflicts. The Counter-Reformation movement
  of the Catholic Church in Poland as well as the growing necessity to stre
 ngthen and re-establish own positions of other religious denominations res
 ulted in vivid polemics\, conflicts and contacts.\n\nThis workshop is inte
 nded to explore the manifold contact situations of religious traditions an
 d the rise and decline of religious tolerance in the huge Polish-Lithuania
 n Commonwealth in the course of the Early Modern Period (1500-1772).\n\nWo
