This memoir reconstructs the world view of a Lutheran merchant from the city of Augsburg in the 17th century. Though Miller lived through some of the great events of his age, he scarcely mentioned them. Though he was raised in the standard values of his age, he understood and applied them idiosyncratically. This is the story of one man's experience and perception based on his memoir and associated documents. Despite its individual focus, the book explores universal institutions of early modern Europe: patriarchy, hierarchy, honour, community, and confession.
