Description:
[Augsburg]: [Jörg Nadler], 1522. ONE OF FIVE EDITIONS, ALL PRINTED IN 1522. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in quarter vellum and paste-paper over boards. Title page with a pretty historiated woodcut border. 16th c. foliation in red at upper corners, small marginal tear on final leaf, little brown spots in the lower margin. Extremely rare. Two copies (of any edition) traced in North America (Columbia and Luther Seminary.). First edition of Zwingli's second publication, his first major programmatic political document, directed against mercenarism. Zwingli's thoughts on warfare, the life of a soldier, and the work of mercenaries -in particular the Swiss professional mercenary soldiers ("Reislaufen"), were complex and evolved over time. In 1513, Zwingli served as military chaplain to the Swiss forces at the battle of Novarra. In 1515, he again served as chaplain, this time at the disastrous battle of Marignano, where forty percent of the Swiss were killed. In 1531, while waging a war of his own making against… Read More

Description:
Augsburg: Ramminger, 1523. SECOND EDITION, printed in the year of the first edition (Basel.). Hardcover. Fine. Bound in modern wrappers. With a four-part woodcut "Wildman" border. Marginal foxing, light soiling. A very rare work by Sebastian Hofmeister, an early compatriot of Zwingli and an admirer and correspondent of Luther, considered one of the most learned and rhetorically skilled of the Swiss reformers. A Franciscan friar and humanist, educated at Paris, Hofmeister was a participant in the 1st and 2nd Zurich Disputations, the Zurich colloquies with the Anabaptists, and other important theological debates. Born in 1496 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Hofmeister was the most important advocate of church Reform in that city. "In February 1523 Adam Petri produced a work by Hofmeister, 'A True Exhortation to the Strong, Noble, Steadfast, Pious and Wise Confederates, that They not be led by False Prophets to Stand in the Way of the Teachings of Christ.' Hofmeister addressed all his compatriots, just… Read More

Description:
Augsburg: Melchior Ramminger, 1523. One of five editions all printed in 1523. Hardcover. Fine. Modern boards. A fine copy with a beautiful four-part title page border, the lower register of which shows a stag hunt. There is also a small woodcut of the Virgin, balancing on the crescent moon, and holding the infant Christ. A sermon for LichtmeĂź (Candlemas), the feast of the presentation of the infant Jesus in the temple and the purification of Mary (February 2). Jesus takes as his text Luke 2:22-39.For the complexities of Luther's evolving Mariology, see Thomas O'Meara, Mary in Protestant and Catholic Theology (1966). "Luther's attitude toward the theology of Mary and toward the devotion which a Christian should have to the Mother of God is a small-scale representation of his entire religious accomplishment. 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… Read More
