Canton of Basel : ウィキペディア英語版 | Canton of Basel
Basel was a canton of Switzerland that was in existence between 1501 and 1833, when it was split into the two present-day 'half-cantons' of Basel-City and Basel-Country. == Background == The town of Basel was called "Basilia" in Latin, this from the Greek Βασιλεία, ''Basileía'', "royal" (fem.). The name is documented from the year 374 . From 999 until the Protestant Reformation, Basel was ruled by prince-bishops (see Bishop of Basel, whose memory is preserved in the crosier shown on the Basel coat of arms, as above). In 1019, the construction of the cathedral of Basel (known locally as the Münster) began under Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor. In 1225–26, the bridge over the Rhine was constructed by Bishop Heinrich von Thun and lesser Basel (Kleinbasel) founded as a bridgehead to protect the bridge. Basel became the focal point of western Christendom during the 15th century Council of Basel (1431–49), including the 1439 election of antipope Felix V. In 1459, Pope Pius II endowed the University of Basel where such notables as Erasmus of Rotterdam, Paracelsus and Hans Holbein the Younger taught. At the same time the new craft of printing was introduced to Basel by apprentices of Gutenberg; the Schwabe publishing house was founded 1488 by Johannes Petri and is the oldest publishing house still in business. Johann Froben also operated his printing house in Basel and was notable for publishing works by Erasmus. By the 16th century, the Prince-Bishopric of Basel comprised: * Basel * Abbey of Bellelay * Bettingen * Amt of Birseck * Barony of Elsgau * Barony of Erguel * Amt of Homberg * Istein * Amt of Liestal * Provostry of Moutier-Grandval * Barony of Orvin * Barony of Pfäffingen * Riehen * Vogtei of St Ursanne * Vogtei of Saugern * Schliengen * Barony of Tessenburg * Amt of Waldenburg * Amt of Zwingen-Laufen The Prince-Bishopric also held the following territories, which were lost before 1527: * Landgraviate of Buchsgau * Landgraviate of Sisgau * Barony of Valangin
