Summary: This is the first collection of the Latin works of Luther to appear in print. Works by other authors (Mazzolini, Eck, and Karlstadt) are also included for historical perspective (and current reference). In part, this work is a kind of "position paper" to help clarify the issues of the upcoming Leipzig Disputation. This volume is quite rare. The first collection of the writings of Martin Luther; the original edition published by Johann Froben at Basel in 1518.
