On the rise of the Wittenberg consistory and its influence as a model for others see Mejer, "Anfänge des Witt. Consistoriums," ZKR., XIII, 28-123; and idem, "Zur Geschichte des ält. prot. Eherechts," ibid., XVI, 35-106. These two papers, revised and enlarged, with a chapter on the establishment of the consistory at Rostock, may also be found in Mejer's Zum Kirchenrechte des Reformationsjahrhunderts, 3 ff., 146 ff. Compare Schleusner, "Zu den Anfängen prot. Eherechts," ZKG., VI, 390 ff., 412 ff.; Geffcken, "Zur ält. Geschichte und ehegericht. Praxis des Leipzig. Konst.," ZKR., 3. Folge, IV, 7-67; Hinschius, "Beiträge zur Gesch. des Desertionsprocesses nach evang. Kirchenrechte," ibid., II, 1-38; and Dietrich, Evang. Ehescheidungsrecht, 37-62, who gives a clear account of the development of matrimonial process and jurisdiction.
