}} Abecedarians were a 16th-century German sect of Anabaptists who rejected all human learning. Questions have been raised as to the historical accuracy of the name and sect. Rejection of educationAccording to the original Catholic Encyclopedia, the Abecedarians were a 16th-century German sect of Anabaptists who affected an absolute disdain for all human knowledge, contending that God would enlighten his elect from within themselves, giving them knowledge of necessary truths by visions and ecstasies, with which human learning would interfere.[1][2] They rejected every other means of instruction, and claimed that to be saved one must even be ignorant of the first letters of the alphabet; whence their name, A-B-C-darians. They also considered the study of theology as a species of idolatry, and regarded learned men who did any preaching as falsifiers of God's word.[1] Nicholas Storch led this sect, preaching that the teaching of the Holy Spirit was all that was necessary.[1]Andreas Karlstadt adopted these views, abandoned his title of doctor and became a street porter. Doubts of accuracyEarly Anabaptists were viewed disdainfully by their adversaries as a radical peasant movement. Thus some{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} consider the extant descriptions to be an elitist caricature of either a particular Anabaptist group or Anabaptists as a whole. Most more recent reference works have ceased to mention the group at all. No equivalent entry was present in the New Catholic Encyclopedia. No historical references later than the early 20th century mention these claims. Other historical informationJohn Bell stated their founder's name was Stork, a disciple of Luther, and that "this sect was some time considerable in Germany".[3] Cultural referencesIn the graphic novel The Calculus Affair, Captain Haddock uses the word "Abecedarian" as an epithet.
