Abstract
[eng] Abstract At the beginning of 16th century, throughout Europe, there was a wealth of religious written works the authors of which were often too hastily called "pre -reformers" or "precursors of the Reformation", as was the case for the priest from Valais, Johann Albertini (+1533), who is the acknowledged author of five theological opuscules. These ecclesiastics, Albertini being one of them, had been affected by the prognostications of death for the year 1524. They became ardent advocates of a thorough reformation of the Church, seeking the salvation and the renewal of the world both in the prophecies found in the apocalyptic books of the Bible and in the astrological predictions that were flourishing at the time. They attempted to escape from the "Era of anxiety" which the Reformation resulted from. [fre] Résumé Le début du XVIe siècle a connu à travers l'Europe une floraison d'écrits religieux dont les auteurs ont été souvent qualifiés un peu rapidement de «préréformateurs» ou de «réformateurs avant la lettre», comme ce fut le cas pour le prêtre valaisan Johann Albertini (+1533), dont on connaît cinq opuscules théologiques. Marqués par les pronostications funestes concernant l'année 1524, fervents partisans d'une profonde mutation de l'Eglise, ces ecclésiastiques, dont Albertini est un exemple, cherchent le salut et le renouveau du monde, à la fois dans les prophéties des livres apocalyptiques de la Bible et dans les prédictions astrologiques, qui fleurissent alors. Ils essaient ainsi d'échapper au «Temps de l'angoisse», d'où sortira la Réforme.
