Edict of Toleration

The last version of this article was poorly written and made no sense whatsoever! Historically an Edict of Toleration tends to be granted by a Catholic monarch (N.B.there are many Edicts of this nature!) to a religious minority (usually Protestant) in his/her state. The Edict of St Germain is CERTAINLY not the only Edict of Toleration and already has its own article, damn right too! I hope that I have restored this article to reasonably describe such edicts?

Should we put a list at the end? Jezze 03:55, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As in the article, an Edict is any "decree or announcement of a law, often associated with monarchism, but it can be under any official authority". Sometimes this announcement may be an Oral law or even a Poem that was regarded as a Principle charter by future generations. An example of that is the usage Muhammad made of the Mu'allaqat in the foundation of Mecca being regarded as authoritative in Fiqh. Operário Ribeiro (talk) 06:56, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edict -> edict

I lowercased the instances of "Edict of Toleration" that did not refer to a specific edict, as they indicate a concept rather than a proper noun (e.g., a president vs. the President). I'm not attached to this change, however. modify 17:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on this regard and have used this styling in my review of the article. Operário Ribeiro (talk) 06:56, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did Constantine's Eddicts protect more then just Christians?

I remember reading a long time ago a claim that Constantine's Eddicts of Toleration also explicitly protected Pagans from persecution by Christians, as in many parts of the East Christians had already become the Majority.

Is there any truth to that claim?--JaredMithrandir (talk) 15:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article's External Link The 313 "Edict of Milan" by Constantine full text so that you may analyze it yourself. You may listen to Patti Smith's "Constantine's Dream" to make it a more poetic experience. Operário Ribeiro (talk) 07:02, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

iirc examples from non-European history could be added

I added the "globalize" tag - "The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject."

IIRC there have been a number of examples from the history of Asia and the Muslim world which could be added.

Unfortunately my own knowledge is pretty limited.

I tried to solve that with the examples of the Jain Anekantavada used by Bharata Empire, the Ashoka Pillars, the Mongols, Han China, and Mughal Akbar Empire edicts... Operário Ribeiro (talk) 06:49, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Full Article Review

I made an overall review of the article, based on decades of international interfaith studies (which also needs an article), because this article is of extreme importance to an academic course open education syllabus and UNESCO interfaith diplomacy projects. I corrected typos, inserting an image, adjusting the 'See Also' section, and putting all historical cases in the same standard, as follows:

"DATE - The [NAME OF THE EDICT], by [ORIGIN OF THE ISSUER] [NAME OF THE ISSUER], allowed the following advancements in freedom of religion or belief (FoRB)." It states that [QUOTE FROM THE EDICT]. [DATE OF ENDING OF THE EDICT'S MANDATE]."

I also summed some worldwide edicts of toleration with their due proofs of authenticity through links and quotes. I miss the Amun edict against Akhenaten, but wasn't able to find it.

Feel free to assert any mistake of mine, or revert if you find it better.

Have a blessed journey through this world of learning wonders. Operário Ribeiro (talk) 07:18, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
