De Petro et Roma adversus Velenu[m] Lutheranum, libri quatuor

Cochlaeus, Johannes, 1479-1552

Summary: Oldrich Velensky, Latinized as Ulrich Velenus, was a Bohemian Protestant who opposed the papal claims to power based on St. Peter's residence and martyrdom in Rome. Cochlaeus upholds the traditional Catholic view that St. Peter was martyred in Rome in the reign of Nero in this volume against Velensky's criticism.
Signatures: [A]4, B-Q4; P2 unsigned.
