Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points. NotesWikipedia's article on Jakob Ammann, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for the 1693 letter that opened the schism, the on the spot excommunication of Hans Reist and six other ministers, the February 1700 attempted reconciliation, and the absence of any record of Ammann after 1712.
