More recent researches have made it almost certain that Crotus Rubeanus and Ulrich von Hutten were the main contributors. To Crotus are credited the first 41 letters: to Hutten the 7 letters added later to the original series and most of the 62 letters of the second series with the possible co-operation of a third person Hermann von dem Busche. The authorship of the rest remains doubtful J.A. Raspe unknown

A vicious attack on Catholicism. / "Not only did he fight for the Protestant cause as a preacher and theologian but he was almost the only member of Luther's party who was able to confront the Roman Catholics with the weapon of literary satire. In 1542 he published a prose satire to which Luther wrote the preface Der Barfusser Monche Eulenspiegel und Alkoran a parodic adaptation of the Liber conformitatum of the Franciscan Bartolommeo Rinonico of Pisa in which the Franciscan order is held up to ridicule. This drew reactions from Catholic scholars such as Henricus Sedulius who published the Apologeticus aduersus Alcoranum Franciscanorum pro Libro Conformitatum which criticized Alberus' arguments in this satire."
