First printing of the editio definitiva Druck B of the appeal "To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation" addressed to the Emperor and the German nobility. Present here is for the first time the complete enlarged and finally text immediately issued after printing the forthy-eight-page template from Aug. 5 1520. Considered Martin Luther's 1483-1546 pivotal work this is the most influential and important of the first of his three primary treatises. It is Luther's answer to the "Bull of Excommunication" published in Rome in June 1520. A first and most important powerful call to action urging the nobility and leaders to participate actively in reforming the Church and society. Here Luther asserts the right of civil power to reform the spiritual and asks the government to exercise this right. He boldly identifies the pope as the Antichrist and goes on to attack the concept that the Church is superior to the State by his assertion that every baptized Christian is a priest. The new added chapter 26 on the false legal claims of the popes' claims to have taken over the Holy Roman Empire from Byzantine Emperors and brought it into the German nation. This gave the work additional explosive force. Luther then proposes drastic reforms against the authority of the Pope against a celibate priesthood and against corruption in the Church. It is interesting to note that Machiavelli and Morus both looked critically at political power and the behavior of rulers. So in summary these connections demonstrate that Luther's "An den Christlichen Adel deutscher Nation" is embedded within a broader philosopical context that also includes the works of Thomas Morus and Niccolò Machiavelli. Luther's book was in effect a call for the Reformation to begin and had a most profound influence on the history of Europe and later on large parts of the world over all centuries.- Nice copy of outmost and exceptionally rarity. - VD 16 L 3759; Benzing 684; cf.

Binding solid interior overall clean and bright.<br /> <br /> <p>A well-preserved copy of a treatise by one of the most famous men in history. In 1521 Henry VIII of England published an attack on Martin Luther and defense of the Catholic Church that earned him the title "Defender of the Faith" from Pope Leo X. Henry's Assertio Septem Sacramentorum was swiftly translated into German and sold well on the Continent. Luther perceived a threat and published this furious response the following year mocking Henry''s new title and his qualification for the role. Henry himself would soon defy the Catholic Church after his demand for the annulment of his first marriage was rejected but he and Luther continued their acrimonious correspondence and never reconciled.

In 1535 Pope Paul III wearily proposed convening a council. The Protestants of the Smalkalde League meeting in assembly nevertheless made demands to take part. The council was convened in Mantua for May 1537. Immediately Luther compounded what would later be known as the Smalkalde articles in which he exhibited the essential points of his doctrine. The Council was postponed and did not take place until 1545 in the city of Trent.</p><p>" In 1534 Alessandro Farnese was elected as Pope Paul III with a clear message of internal church reform. To further this mission and to respond to the rise of Protestantism he called for an ecumenical church council to meet at the Italian city of Mantua in 1537. Given the importance of this council for Christian unity and the future of reformed forms of worship the elector of Saxony asked Luther to prepare an official statement of doctrine that would both represent his views and indicate where negociation might be possible. Luther agreed and with some imput from his Wittenberg colleagues carefully laid out what he saw as the central pillars of Christian teaching. Yet these doctrinal statements or articles were never presented at the council which was delayed a number of times finally meeting in Trent beginning in 1545. Instead they were discussed at a general meeting of the Protestant Schmalkaldic League although even here the collected princes and theologians declined to affirm them due mostly to concerns that they were too exclusionary and divisive especially the statements on the Eucharist and papacy. Luther then published the articles in 1538 adding a preface but leaving their structure and content otherwise intact. As these articles offered a clear and comprehensive summary of Luther's doctrine they would be extremely important as a Lutheran confession of faith and in 1580 would be incorporated into the authoritative collection of fundamental Lutheran documents known as the 'Book of Concord'" The Essential Luther 23.</p><p><strong>"Schmalkaldic Articles</strong> are one of the confessions of faith of Lutheranism written by Martin Luther in 1536. The articles were prepared as the result of a bull issued by Pope Paul III calling for a general council of the Roman Catholic Church to deal with the Reformation movement. The council was actually postponed several times until it met in Trent in 1545. John Frederick I Lutheran elector of Saxony wished to determine what issues could be negotiated with the Roman Catholics and what could not be compromised. He asked Luther to review earlier statements of faith by the reformers to determine what was absolutely essential to the faith. After Luther prepared the articles he invited several reformers to Wittenberg to discuss them and after some minor changes eight theologians signed them. They were then sent to the elector in January 1537.</p><p>In February 1537 the Protestant secular heads of state who were members of the Schmalkaldic League met with several theologians at Schmalkalden to decide how to deal with a council of the Roman Catholic Church. Luther became ill and could not attend but John Frederick I presented Luther's articles to the gathering. Because of Luther's somewhat controversial doctrine of the Lord's Supper Philipp Melanchthon urged that the Augsburg Confession and its Apology previously presented to Emperor Charles V adequately presented the reformer's faith and that additional statements should not be added. This decision was adopted and the Schmalkaldic Articles were not officially accepted. They were however circulated and read and 44 theologians signed them as an expression of their personal faith. Subsequently they were included in the <em>Book of Concord</em> 1580.</p><p>The Schmalkaldic Articles are divided into three sections. The first discusses the unity of God the Trinity the Incarnation and Christ and on these subjects Luther believed there was no real controversy between Roman Catholics and Protestants. The second section dealt with Christ and justification by faith. According to Luther "<em>On this article rests all that we teach and practice against the pope the devil and the world.</em>" This section also discusses the mass monastic orders and the papacy. The third section discusses 15 articles that could be considered by Roman Catholics and Protestants. It includes such subjects as sin the Law repentance the sacraments confession the ministry and a definition of the church".</p><p>FRANCAIS</p><p><strong>Les articles de Smalkalde rédigés par Luther en 1536 en vue du concile de Mantoue.</strong></p><p>In-4 de 32 ff.

During any discussion of Luther and the Blessed Virgin we must keep uppermost in our minds that there was a development in his ideas a change more or less drastic in each aspect of Marian theology. This development has its beginning in Catholicism; it passes through contradictions struggles and uncertainties and terminates in a new Marian viewpoint one which Luther decided was Christocentric biblical unexaggerated and edifying."p. 123.</p><p>Benzing 1746; VD16 L-6084</p> Melchior Ramminger, books

This is the authorized text of the Augsburg Confession 1st ed. 1531 approved by Luther edited by and with the "Apologia" of Philip Melanchthon. It was printed by Georg Rhau who also printed the first editions both in Latin and German of the “Confessio†and “Apologiaâ€. The “Apologia†of this 1556 edition is dated 1542 see VD 16 ZV 31340. This edition was printed in the wake of the agreement reached in 1555 between the Lutheran princes and Charles V known as the Peace of Augsburg which granted Lutheranism legal status within the Holy Roman Empire. Bound into this copy is the 1553 Leipzig edition of the Saxon Confession which was drawn up by Melanchthon and intended for presentation at the Council of Trent; it presented the doctrinal status of the Lutheran Church of Germany as of 1552 and was the basis for the signing of the Peace of Augsburg. The Augsburg Confession: "On January 21 1530 the Emperor Charles V issued letters from Bologna inviting the German diet to meet in Augsburg on April 8 for the purpose of discussing and deciding various important questions. The far-seeing Landgrave of Hesse hesitated to attend the diet but the Elector John of Saxony who received the writ March 11 directed Luther Jonas Bugenhagen and Melanchthon to meet in Torgau and present a summary of the Protestant faith to be laid before the Emperor at the diet. This summary has received the name of the "Torgau articles". On April 3 the Elector and the reformers started from Torgau and reached Coburg on April 23. There Luther was left behind. The rest reached Augsburg May 2. On the journey Melanchthon worked on an "Apology" using the Torgau articles and sent his draft to Luther at Coburg who approved it. "The Emperor had ordered the confession to be presented to him on June 24. The evangelical princes however declared that they would not part with the confession until its reading should be allowed. The 25th was then fixed for the day of its presentation. In order to exclude the people the little chapel of the Episcopal palace was appointed in place of the spacious city hall. The two Saxon chancellors Bruck and Beyer the one with the Latin copy the other with the German stepped into the middle of the assembly and against the wish of the Emperor the German text was read. "Although the emperor prohibited the printing of the evangelical confession without his special permission during the diet six German editions and one in Latin were published. Their inaccuracy and incorrectness induced Melanchthon to prepare an edition to which he added the Apology. Thus originated the so-called 'editio princeps' of the Augustana and the Apology which was published in the spring of 1531." Schaff-Herzog "Melanchthon drafted the ‘Confession’ in both German and Latin using the Torgau Schwabach and Marburg Articles. The intention of the German Protestants was to present a single creed. Since they could not all agree on one several versions were presented to the Diet meeting at Augsburg. Of these it is the ‘Augsburg Confession’ that is remembered today; the others have long been forgotten. The presentation of the ‘Augsburg Confession’ was probably Melanchthon’s finest hour as a theologian. He had written a theological document that presented a reasonable compromise in the ongoing religious disputes in Germany. Luther himself said that he could never have ‘trod so lightly’ in treating such matters. The ‘Confession’ has come to be the standard Lutheran statement of faith and was included in the ‘Book of Concord’ of 1580."Kessler I. VD 16 ZV 31340; II. VD 16 C 4807 Georg Rhau, 1542, unknown books

A fine copy with contemporary marginalia in red and black. Provenance: Alain Moirandat Switzerland.</p><p>Luther wrote his "The Magnificat Translated into German and Explained" in two parts the first composed before his appearance at the Diet of Worms and the second part while he was in hiding in the Wartburg in May and June 1521. Given that Luther's vision of the church and of Mary's nature and place within Christianity were evolving and were to evolve much further over time and the fact that Luther left the Diet a changed man living in changed circumstances it is no wonder that Luther's exposition of the Magnificat has been the subject of numerous conflicting interpretations.<br /><br />In Albert Steinhaeuser's view the work "is a classical discussion of the place that the Virgin Mary occupies in the Protestant system. Although Luther regards her in one place as sinless and invokes her aid and intercession at the beginning and close of his work these are isolated instances; the whole tenor of the exposition is evangelical and as far removed from the Mariolatry of Rome as from an ultra-protestant depreciation of the Mother of our Lord. 'She does not want you to come to her but through her to God.' There is something very human and altogether unlike the radiant Queen of Heaven in the Mary who 'goes about her household tasks milking the cows cooking the meals washing pots and kettles sweeping out the rooms.' It is Luther's contribution to the German Madonna and the Weimar editors well compare this and similar passages of the Magnificat with Albrecht Durer's Marienleben a series of quaint woodcuts portraying the life of the Virgin 1503-10."<br /><br />But Hartmann Grisar one of the leading Catholic writers on Luther writes "Luther's 'Exposition of the Magnificat' has frequently been taken as a proof of Luther's great piety. It indeed contains many good thoughts even apart from those relating to Mary but in numerous passages the author uses his pen for a highly prejudiced vindication of his new teachings on the state of grace. It should also be borne in mind that the printers started on the book just before the Diet of Worms and that it was intended to attract and secure the support of the future rulers of the Saxon Electorate. Luther was also engaged at that time on his exceedingly violent screed against Catharinus in which he attempts to reveal the Pope in his true character as Antichrist. When after the Diet of Worms he continued his work on the Magnificat he was certainly in no mood to compose a book of piety on Mary. The result was that the book became to all intents and purposes a controversial tract which cannot be quoted as a proof of his piety or serenity of mind during those struggles. Luther's Magnificat is as little a serious work of edification and piety as his exposition of certain of the Psalms which appeared almost simultaneously and was also directed " against the Pope and the doctrine of men.".</p><p>VD16 L-5453; Benzing Luther 855; Kuczynski 1431</p> Melchior Lotter, books

For this reason Psalm 110 is "the most frequently quoted or referenced psalm in the New Testament".3 Classical Jewish sources in contrast state that the subject of the psalm is either Abraham David or the Jewish Messiah.
